Huh, it would seem that they DO have the "best return policy ever".
All projectors (that I know of) have bulbs that have a limited life expectancy. Much like a conventional light bulb, it could have simply been "used up" through a year's worth regular use. In fact, bulb burnout is expected so much so that most projectors are designed with bulb replacement in mind.
Replacement bulbs are expensive too (at ~$200), but I digress. The point is, bulb burnout is normal, and therefore, most likely not covered in any warranty. So, they didn't have to take it back if they didn't want to. But the fact that they did is something of an amazement to me.
Ah, if only Costco was closer... BJ's is the one warehouse that is close to me, but I've decided that it's not worth joining it... even if a promotional offer.
