When you have a clear warranty with such a simple, easy-to-quantify trigger (3 returns for failure, and you get a new one), it could be worth it. Especially if, as you say, the terms allow for you to spend up to the original purchase price on a new item, instead of a depreciated amount. However, such policies are rare, and as Ed's correspondents pointed out, the standard "extended" warranty usually has a raft of exceptions.
