My 10 year old Sony 32" and my 10 year old Sony audio equipment has never given me a problem and I didn't waste my money on an extended warranty. Actually, that goes for every piece of electronic equipment I own. I laughed when the Best Buy cashier tried to sell me a warranty for my PS2 controller the other day.
I did buy an extended warranty for the SVT, and it turned out to be a waste of money because I never had to use it.
