I had a window shatter last year - I think a rock hit it on I-45 on the way home from the Jimmy Buffet concert.

I removed the window and took it to a local glass shop, and it was about $48 and 48 hours to have them replace the broken glass with the same kind of glass that was originally in there.

It was a simple job to remove and reinstall the window; just lots of unscrewing and rescrewing screws, and new caulk. I also had to remove the curtains and valance to get to the window screws.

I wasn't happy about it costing $48, but the time for an alternative just wasn't available. Luckily, it hasn't leaked and we've been in some fierce storms since then.
