Wait, so they are actually getting these on launch day?

Awesome!

I would imagine that one would have a better chance of getting a Wii or PS3 at a Costco type store during launch, as these are cost membership type stores.

Although I have my Wii reserved at GS, I would prefer to pick it up elsewhere, as well as a PS3. Does Costco offer warranties for these systems?

Strong work there my fellow CAG. I think I'll try to get there for launch. Much better deal than most other places. I was hoping it would come with a second remote, but two games might work. Still, as long as they get accessories those will be cheaper than other places by a few bucks no coupons needed.

The only question I have is what are the chances that they let me in early if I have a basic membership? Would they set up some sort of seperate line outside the place?

Cool. Now we need some solid insider info on Sam's Club.

Sounds good, thanks for the info.

I'm going to start making notes of all of these various deals as the next three weeks go by, so I can make a decision on where to do my big fat wait. Toys R Us is still my #1 choice, simply because I love that store and choose to support them, and I generally like how my location handles lines, but deals like this will be good to think about just in case!

Do you guys think the Wii will be in high demand around Christmas time? Or will Nintendo produce enough to make sure that everyone will have a chance to buy one?

I would be able to get my hands on one but I would rather sell it on ebay and try to make a profit. Whaddya think???

I'd guess the two games will be Zelda and Madden

If one of the games is Zelda, I'm all over it already. I'm guessing it'll be two nintendo 1st party games since most bundles sell like that.

I'll have to find out how my local Costco handles membership differences in the morning, I might buy the upgrade just for this...

So the bundle is just the same price as buying a Wii and 2 games seperately from Costco? (actually 2 cents cheaper 249.99+44.99+44.99 = 339.97 instead of 339.99)

I wonder if Sam's Club is going to have anything special. I can hopefully pick up one for me, and maybe pick up the other one I need to send off.

That is the theory. It didn't say that there were any on order but with the release date in part of the description and the amount of money they'd make, it'll be that way.

As well though, it STILL says nothing about the ps3 system in the computer.



The warranty in my store is 2 years max. At other stores, there has been reports of "lifetime" though I sincerely doubt it. In any case, it's free; so besides the $50 membership fee with the 2 year warranty on everything, it's not that bad. Besides, almost all video games are cheaper there new than most other places.


I can assure you that lifetime warranties exist for Costco. I have a few friends who have taken items back with no receipt, years after buying them and after Costco checks in their system that you have actually purchased the item there, they give full cash refunds, no questions asked. Tis true.

Oh and if they do the launch like they did with the 360, don't worry about which membership you have, they'll let everyone in at the same time.

Three things. I't probably notm Zelda. Probably some other two launch titles. They rarely do the most popular games. Watch it be omething like Rayman and Super Monkey Ball. :P

Secondly, I wonder if only gold members will get a shot. I say that because don't they get to enter a few hours earlier into the store? I just have normal membership.

Three, this doesn't seem like a whole lot of savings. Not unless they throw somethign extra in. When the 360 bundle came out at launch it actually was less expensive then it's parts sold separately.

I was lucky to get a 360 on launch at my local Costco in Yakima, WA. I didn't have to wait in line all day. I drove up and there was quite a line, but I got in hoping they would have enough. It ran pretty smoothly. Only one system was given to each membership. They hand out a slip with a stamp and you used that to get a given system. They really did a great job! If they do get the PS3 I will definitely get in line over night and hope to get one.

I'm guessing the bundled games will be Zelda and ExciteTruck, which would be good because those are the two I most want (along with Monkey Ball, which looks to nice and cheap here). I'm going to take my chances at WalMart on Saturday, but maybe this will be my backup.

I am very certain that executive and gold members were in line the day I got my 360. I don't think any one with a gold membership was turned away. The 360 bundle came with the system an extra controller, a charger kit, and a copy of Kameo.

Our 360 Bundles came with PGR.

What time will Costco start letting people into the store to buy a Wii?

Two games huh? I still think it's suspicious that zelda isn't listed in the OP's list while it's listed online. Actually they list zelda, red steel, and tony, and what with tony being the only game in the OP's list, maybe we can expect a zelda/red steel bundle. Might be alright, although I can't believe there won't be a second controller.

So 40 per Costco abouts? Considering how many were in line for the Elmos, that's not great.
