given the fact they are so dammed expensive anyway but only have a years warrenty is it worth spending 35 quid on extending it to 3 years?

thanks

Will it cover accidental damage?
I ask because DS2 has broken the screen on his digital camera and Kodak want £89 to mend it. Only cost £59 when i bought it!
If i had taken out Argos extra insurance when i bought it i could of got it repaired free. Now i don't know what to do lol!

So yes it might be worth doing.

thanks tortoise. it does cover accidental damage. i normally ignore these things as a rule but ipods are so tempermental i would weep if it broke after its warrenty and before 3 years. which begs teh question why buy one?

I don't have household insurance. Can't afford to have it.
Probably should look into it again though.

hmm. we've had problems with an ipod at only three days old. I never get extra warranties but I'm not confident of its lasting powers

exactly pinedog. i shouldn't buy one really but i really 'need' one. i don't normally succumb to such things but my brother gave me his old mini which was fantastic while it lasted and now i am sucked in.
