Apple care (for iPod) worth it?

Hi guys. Just wondered what your thoughts are on Apple care. Is it worth buying?

I currently have a 20gig iPod (4g). Had it 2yrs and its battery now lasts only a hour or so when fully charged :rolleyes:

I'm likely to upgrade soon, taking advantage of the £100 rebate when purchasing a Mac. Is paying £30 or so (with HE discount) worth it to extend its warranty to 2yrs?

if you've had it 2 years, thn wouldn't the extended warranty be no longer valid?

Probably better to replace the battery yourself, comes in at about £20, and is dead easy to do.

sorry, i meant is it worth buying for the new iPod?

thought it cost £50 or so to replace the battery? how do u do it for 20?
