Re: Let them pay
You're confusing manufacturer's warranty with third-party extended warranty via the shop.
I've never paid for extra insurance but I know people who do and have successfully claimed on it during the period. I also know of people who *accidentally* find the device has stopped working when it's approaching the end of the warrenty or extended warrenty period.
It depends on your attitude to insurance and how hard you are on your equipment.
