Looks like my bulb is about to go so I want to order one now... suggestions on best place to order??? :confused:

bump.... anyone? Someone must have bought a bulb from someone other then manufacturer....

You would do better asking in the XBR1 Owner's thread.
IIRC, there was some mention of replacement bulb sources about week or so ago.

I would suggest Crutchfield if you do not want to go thru Sony. Crutchfield is fast, usually no shipping as well.

How many hours are you at?
