projection lamp for Sony HD tv - local?

[Dragonsm]

TV is a Sony KDF-37H1000 LCD HD rear projection.

Guess it is time to replace the lamp in it (XL-2500 lamp)

Wondering if anyone has purchased these bulbs (or any bulbs) locally or if it is something over the internet I need to purchase. I just got the "replace now" message.

I'm guessing I'd pay a little more locally but some of the websites I have found for the bulbs online....who knows....prices seem to be all across the board too....(from 50 - 200 or so)

Thanks,

Steve

The variance in pricing could be the bulb by itself or the bulb and the housing. There's a place in Forest Lake that sells bulbs. Just google Forest Lake TV repair, or TV repair Minnesota, etc.
