well, i've had a membership in the States for quite awhile and it's hardly worth it if all you're gonna use it for is games. It might be worth it if you know they have a particular system you want at launch, since not everyone thinks of those places for systems, but for games you usually only save $5 off MSRP, and they really only have the most generic games that they KNOW they can move (IE 200 copies of Halo 2 but no rpgs in sight). Nothing niche or anything like that.
Just a thought. If you're gonna use it for vast quantities of food, though, go for it. Both places have sweet deals on food, beverages, everything else

I don't have a membership to either of those, but my parents do. In my experience (i've been to a quite a few different stores for both) sams club seems to have a larger game selection than costco. Although both have a pretty lame one when compared to other electronics stores. Costco mainly consists of either "Triple AAA" titles or total garbage bargin bin games.
Anyway, you can get in and check out the store without a membership, although u'll need one to buy anything. Just go thru the exit as if ur walking in to actually get a membership or return something, they don't check on that side. Then just walk in thru the check out counter.

Well, I don't know about Sam's Club, but Costco is vastly different at mine. Maybe anyway, it depends on whether my coworkers or I really care at that given point. However, if you are a male, roughly 18-30, we will ask your card every single time.
In another case, say that you're going to the pharmacy (in Costco anyway) and they'll have to let you in. Chances are however that they'll sick one of our "loss prevention" guys to watch you but so long as you don't steal anything or act too suspicious you'll be fine.

A friend of mine took me to Costco a few weeks ago. They had NFS:MW on the 360 for $29.99. Not too shabby of a deal.
Just go in and tell them you're going to sign up for a card. Start walking towards the customer service area but go right past it and have a look around the store. Nobody really cares once you're in there. Obviously you won't be able to buy anything, but you can still check it out and see if it's worth signing up for.
