I've had my Sanyo Z2 projector for 6 years now and haven't had to replace a bulb, at about $250 would not be a big deal anyway. I would never go back to a an LCD or Plasma for my HT, even in the 50+ " range over my 120" wide screen. It is also used a lot for cruising the internet via my HTPC, listening to only music at the same time as cruising the forums.
