Well, today I got mail from Circuit City, informing me Pentax's warranty will expire in a month or two (yes my 1 year aniversary from owning the k10 is approaching).

I can pick up a Circuit City, 3 year extended warrant that on the surface appears it will cover repairs and if needed replacement of the K10 (and kit lense I guess). Price is 150 dollars. My first though is, heck I'll do it, as I doubt the K10 will ever be that cheap. Also, something will probably go wrong with it and worst comes to worst (not sure if they even carry the k10 anymore?) I'll get a refund of my purchase, or an equivalent new model to replace it. Seems like a decent deal to me.

Any thoughts?

I know full well that these warranties are mostly profit from the store side, however the odds of something going wrong with the K10d in 3 years is probably likely as I tend to use it several times a month.

Side note : Also, I am a bit hesitant as Circuit City isnt exactly the strongest retailers, the odds of it going bankrupt are definately plausable - but I doubt they'd can existing warranties in the process.
