Short answer NO! I have never seen where an extended warranty has paid for itself. My daughter made the mistake of getting one for her laptop, when it crapped out just before the warranty ran out all they did was send her a new hard drive... she still had a old OS computer, IIRC the warranty was $200+ new hard drives cost $50... go figure.
