Samsung BD at Costco!! Is this the end?

Check at what I saw at costco online. I don't think this is a good sign when your new product is already going to a deep discount retailer.

Maybe they just want to unload all of those dogged units from the big stores in anticipation of Sony's new players. I think BD nuts would be more apt to spend the big bucks on something that isn't trashed in the blogs.

Sam's Club has it online for even cheaper!

Still $700 above the price point I am willing to pay...

But Costco also has the Toshiba.
Both are at about a 10% discount. I'd just say that Costco can get them and applies its typical lower margin.

anyone see them at their local costco yet?

Sorry, I tried to post a link earlier, but it got messed up in the translation. Go to the Costco site and do a search for HD DVD. The Toshiba will come up at $449.

Let's try again:

I was just looking around at what they had at mine 2 days ago and there was neither BluRay or HD DVD. It is good news if they are selling them online. With Costco's return policy I think its better news for the Toshiba than the Samsung.

Samsung is desperate to sell them.
