[latimes.com (via blog)] Costco halts liberal electronics return policy

[George Toft]

One of my coworkers just returned his HD DLP big screen TV because the 
projection lamp exploded (loud pop, smoke).

What retailer in their right mind would give a lifetime guarantee on a 
$300+ part that has a 2000 hour life?
