How could anyone give you an educated answer on this? That's a personal choice. If you think you need to, then buy one. I didn't because I rarely by them. I don't think anyone should coach you on that decision though. No one's had one long enough to even begin to give an educated response to your question.

Now, what you'll probably have behind my post are the myriads of posters who will give you their opinions based on no substantiated facts for this player. Some people just like buying them because it's peace of mind. That's what an extended warranty's design is intended to do before purchasing, bring peace of mind on the value perceived platform. If you happen to get to use it, then more power to you for having it. My experience though is that, more times than not, you will pay for something you don't use. Typically for something like this it will break within the manufacturers warranty time frame if it's going to break at all. Factory warranties over term diminish in coverage to some degree and don't give you everything you've paid for at the end of term. This is what's called diminished term coverage.
