My Sony XBR1 just bit the dust…

May 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment

As if life wasn’t already difficult, the $250 bulb in my Sony XBR1 50″ TV just blew. Memorial Day night, while everyone’s closed, and no one in town could provide an instantly gratifying replacement. :(

It was purchased late June 2006 from Circuit City with the 3 year service plan, but given Circuit City’s own financial issues, I am hopeful, but not holding my breath for a resolution through their extended service plans department. Otherwise, I’m on the search for the cheapest (but most reputable) place to buy a XL-5100 replacement bulb (including the housing).

Being a holiday week, it will probably be, oh, I dunno, Monday or so before the house is alight with the sound of mind-numbing video noise again. Until then, Hulu and the video store, here I come.
