Same thing happened to me. I have a 62" Toshiba DLP.
Toshiba has a 1 year warranty in Canada on bulbs, so it sounds like you're out of luck unless you got a warranty from where you bought it. I was told when replacing it that the bulbs in the Toshiba DLP's go out fairly quickly if made around 2004-2006 because Toshiba used a 3rd party bulb maker. They've since started doing it in house because of the short bulb life. Once you get the new generation bulb it should be good for a looong time. I think it runs around $30-40 without warranty IIRC.
