Todays electronics usually fail in the first 120 days of being put in service, after that period they seem to last about 3-4 years till failures start happening; so if most products have a 1 yr warranty you should be beyond the initial failure point, and any extension will likely not pay off because it will expire before the normal life of the product. at that point it would in all likelyhood be obsolute anyway.
