So did I, but through Best Buy.  I have to say, for
many things I never went with an extended warranty,
for a variety of reasons.   However, the past couple
of years I've purchased most electronics from Best Buy
(DVD, TV, laptop, digital cameras, non-digital
cameras, etc.) and I *always* but their extended
warranty.

This has been good, because I've now replaced;
1 non-digital camera
1 digital camera
1 dryer


I don't abuse stuff compared to some of my friends,
but things happen.  The non-digital camera, in I
walked to service, they reviewed it, and their on the
spot was exchanged for a new one.  Of course this was
a year and a half later, so that model was NA.  I got
the $$$ equivalent and ended up with a new camera,
better features for that same year and half stale
price.


Same with digital camera.  Purchased Kodak DX3900 two
years back almost.  Went south.  In I went, they took
this one, sent it off, unrepairable (too much to fix
for it's current value), and two weeks later I had my
$$$ equivalent which gave me a new 6340 plus a 128MB
SD card and additional battery, all for same two year
old price.  So I got a better camera (features)
because technology improves (typically) and price
decreases (typically).

When I purchased my GRX560 I opted for 4 year warranty
as well.  So far no problems, but I feel comfortable
it'll get sorted in my favor, minus the down time of
missing in action.

Moral?  At least look into the extended warranty :)
