My husband has purchased electronics some years past from Circuit City, and has purchased their extended warranties. He did not have the same problems with them that you had with Best Buy. Ditto for warranties purchased from Sears. It is possible that the problem was with Best Buy and not with the fact of extended warranties in general.
Still, we no longer purchase extended warranties on anything but expensive items. If it is cheap enough to replace it when it fails, that's what we do and consider ourselves self-insured on smaller items.
Best regards,
