DLP bulbs have come down in price. I doubt it'll run more than 150
Yeah I just looked. Sweet! I only have like 600 hours on my current bulb and a lot of people have been saying they got something like 6800 hours. I hardley use that TV. right now it is in it's prime season with football. After football it sits quite other then my Video Game paly on the weekends.

I'd speak to the wal mart manager... but get really dirty before you go into the store and be sure to articulate well and speak clearly... all the while twitching and flinching and letting a little drool slip from the corner of your mouth. about halfway through his bs schpeal, start muttering things about look me in the eye (but be talking into your shirt pocket) and randomly stand up towering over him for no reason at all. This will give you complete dominance over the situation and demand his compliance with your request for a new tv.

i just lost a laptop to its gfx card overheating (the heat separated the chip from the thermal transfer pad attached to the heatsink, and dust completely clogged the INSIDE of the copper fins in the venting system)... it died 15 months into a 12 month warranty - stupid. works fine then completely dies, and 330$ + shipping to get it fixed (gpu soldered onto mobo) which isn't happening for a 650$ laptop.
so i know what its like... I think your biggest problem though was not buying the warranty on the warranty (hey banks did it, and look how THAT turned out!)

I contacted Walmarts coporate offices. I told them I had spoke to an Attorney and he suggested that I call you guys to try and resolve it this way first. The person that answered the phone stopped me after I mentioned the word attorney. He asked if I had already retained one and I said not yet but that was going to be my next step if he couldn't help me. That seems to have gotten the ball rolling, If he said it once he said it a dozen times: "Sir, I really don't think you need to involve an attorney over this. This seems to be something I can handle on my level and get you a resolution."
As of today, still no word on parts even though I was told Thursday that the parts would be in tommorrow(friday).

Dude you just described the typical Wal Mart customer. Do you not think he deals with this type of person everyday?
