Warranty Dlp

Should I buy the warranty on this item?
It is an InFocus In72 Home Theater project (852x480) DLP Projector. The standard warranty is 6 months on bulb and 1 year on unity. $500 after rebate.
I can purchase a 3 Year Warranty with 2 yr bulb replacement for $198. the Bulb cost $398.
The DLP bulb is listed as 3000 hours. I figure even with heavy use it should last me 2-3 years, but I guess you never know. I have often read that if they are going to fail prematurely it is often within the first 2 months.
198 is nearly half the cost of the projector. I am thinking that if it last 2 years, I would be better off picking up a new one with better technology than bank on the possibility of the bulb going in within 2 years.
From what I understand the projectors themselves are pretty sound as it is mostly that bulb that goes.
Warranties are a major source of income for the retailers. So much so that some employees are threatened if they don't aggressively sell the warranties. Generally the opinions I read dictate no need for purchasing them. You are betting against yourself if you do.
