I think you must be getting cheap bulbs. I bought a bunch before my kid was born, and he's 10 and none have gone out. I've even taken them with me when I moved.

I have new ones and old ones, the old ones weigh three times as much. There were more components run at a lower limit of peak capacity. I move my old bulbs when I move because new ones won't last as long.
