is Warranty worth it for MacBook Pros?

[Witzo]

I'm going to buy my first ever MacBook Pro on Friday when new OSX goes live. Plan on getting the best 15 inch model which is around $2200 with my student discount.
Is it worth buying the warranty for the laptop? I read somewhere that you have up to a year to buy it. Is it better to wait and in meantime if something breaks within first year buy it then?

Realistically I can't imagine keeping a laptop longer then 2 years, but its possible I'll keep this one longer. I normally would never buy a warranty but this is definitely my biggest notebook investment I've made.

Any experiences w/ MacBook breakage or dealing with Apple's warranty service?

Yes, it's almost always worth buying the warranty for a laptop.

All of the below are true about desktops.<ul type="square">[*]If my video card dies, I can probably fix it myself.[*]If the keyboard dies, I can trash it and just plug in a new one.[*]If I need to buy a new soundcard, I can buy one for pretty much the same price the manufacturer can.[/list]None of these things are true about laptops.

You have a 1 year warranty for your macbook, so you are set for the first year. You can buy apple care extended warranty to extend it another 2 years.

The one year warranty is included in price of laptop? Is it true I have up to a year to buy the extended warranty?

Pretty sure that is the case, but if you don't plan on having the lappy for more than 2 years I wouldn't worry about it. Most likely, anything serious that is going to go wrong with it will sooner rather than later.
