I've got plenty to play so the slow shipping doesn't hurt, and I doubt I'll get it for that anywhere else for a while.

Nice deal, if my game backlog was smaller I'd be all over this.

Yeah 400 is a little low for a 32" unless you want to wait for Black Friday and Hope for the best. I think that Costco had a 32" Visio Plasma screen for 499 last time I was there though, not 400, but it's the best price I've seen recently. Well I guess you could wait for woot to sell some more...

Sorry dude but after seeing my friends get screwed many a time by there so called "deals" due to terrible corporate policies that tend to treat any consumer as an adversary, I'm not sorry to see them go despite the good people that worked there. Hopefully some store will come in to take what...

Although Ipods are nice, I like to have an fm tuner in my player. Creative Visions were the best tuner equipped players when I bought one and I still like it. Personally, if your in no rush I'd just set a price limit and a a minimum memory limit then keep a an eye out on what's on sale. That's...

Not bad, but I think that the GS pre-order bonus is worth the extra ten bucks. Personally I don't even have a 360 yet but I'm still going to pre-order Sonata for the faceplate. I'm still trying to decide if I just wait for the price drop, or if I hold out for the 65nm chip.

They used to, but they ran into some problems with people using the lifetime return policy as a means of always having an up to date PC/TV, so they instituted a nationwide policy change on how long you have to return TV's and PC's, although some stores may not have implemented it yet.

If you sign up at toysrus.com they may send you an e-mail with 30 off 150. Only problem is you'll probably get stuck with tax and shipping. If you find $49 games you like on there free shipping list you'll save some though (although you still end up paying ~ 2 dollers)

Hey Sonderiaom, I personally think you've been as helpful as could be. It's not your fault Costco's been so secretive and it sounds like them not getting them instore could have been a last minute decision. So don't listen to those naysayers, if find out about any inside deals keep posting...

Although it may not be the best source ever according to IGN "Costco Avoids Launch Lines No systems expected in stores, leaving online orders as the only option." http://wii.ign.com/articles/746/746424p1.html They go on to speculate that it's possible that the recent violence at the PS3...

My thoughts exactly. Counting on Nintendo coming in last after what happened with the DS vs the PSP doesn't seem like a good idea. Nintendo has proven that inovative control can trump horsepower and graphics, and the Wii could prove the same. I also don't know if you can count the 360 as a huge...

Hmm, I just noticed something odd, Costco's website no longer has Zelda. I wonder if it has anything to do with them saving the Zelda copies for bundles?

I was thinking the same thing, although I still think Zelda is a more likely pack in then excite truck. When the 360 came out it lacked any killer app, so no game would sell the bundle by itself. Zelda though seems like the perfect game to include.

I've actually started to wonder about what the bundle may include. Although it says two games, maybe Costco's actually counting Wii Sports and the price includes an extra controller. Although there are some games I wouldn't mind, all I really want at launch is the Wii with Wii sports, an extra...

I don't think you'll have to much trouble. It's not a mistake, and the deals good enough that they should already know about it even if you don't have the ad at all.
