Costco's Got Your Post Christmas Wii Bundles

fdemarco — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 13:00:00 MST

If you weren't able to get your hands on a Wii this holiday season and you just can't bear to buy into the whole "rain check" thing, then may I suggest you beat feet down to your local Costco. Kotakuite Thomas K. sends in this pic from his local Costco taken just this very morning. The bundle goes for 344.99 and include the Wii, an extra nunchuck and remote and a copy of Brain Age for the Wii. So, fly my faithful readers and grab that Wii that you were so viciously denied.

Costco Offers Wii Bundles

fdemarco — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 14:00:00 MDT

Costco is currently selling Wii bundles that include the Wii, an extra Wii remote and a copy of Mario Party 8 for $329. If you're still looking to get a Wii and you have a Costco membership, this might be the perfect opportunity for you although you'll probably be wanting to pick up an extra nunchuk as well. The savings is minuscule at only $10, but it's better than nothing I suppose. Look at it this way, you'll finally have your long sought after Wii and while you're there you can use that extra ten bucks to buy a giant tub of Gummi Worms and a case of Mountain Dew. Let the good times roll!

Buying Arcades at Bulk

THEY SELL ARCADE GAMES AT COSTCO?!

This is worth the $45 membership fee, and it's valid for a whole year, so fill up on giant cans of con queso in case you decide to have an impromptu Fourth of July in June. Not only do you get Super Mario Bros, but you also get Donkey Kong, AND Donkey Kong Jr (all by Namco, of course) all for the super-low Costco price of $3,000! Shipping and Handling included, plus it probably doesn't smell like a day care center like the originals. Kim Phu

Buy PS3 Online From CostCo

A poster on Black Friday Ads reports that CostCo is going to start selling their stock of PS3 ads online starting at 8 a.m. PST on Friday Nov. 17

For anyone who is looking to purchase a PlayStation 3, but doesn't want to wait in line for the chance to purchase one, Costco.com will be selling them online beginning 8:00am PST on Friday, November 17th.

This item will be available for purchase on costco.com on Friday, November 17, 2006 at approximately 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The item will be prominently displayed on the homepage of costco.com until it is sold out.

Due to an extremely limited supply, we can accept orders from current Costco members only on a first come, first served basis, with a limit of one unit per household. The Costco warehouses do not have units available at this time.

Supply is limited, so I would expect Costco.com to be very slow beginning around 7:59:30 when everyone starts refreshing their pages like madmen.

Here's your chance to land some PS3 without a shred of line-sitting. Of course you need to be a member of CostCo, but it might be worth it. Brian Crecente

Racing Simulator In Your Own Home, Not Cheap!

fdemarco — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 18:40:39 MST

When I think of Costco: 128 packs of toilet paper, cases of ramen and nice ladies with trays of sample sausages. I know they have their little electronics section and you can get those cheap game 2 packs where you get 1 great game and one crappy one, but a full on racing simulator?

For the low, low introductory price of $4499.99, the Home Pro Racing Simulation System can be yours! Yes, that's really the name. I know, it has all the panache of a generic home exercise machine. Oh, and did I mention the TV isn't included in the price? You have to provide your own, so add another 3,000 to 4,000 for a decent television. So, for about $8,000 you too can have that arcade experience in your very own home! Add a bunch of those $500 arcade machines from Target and a change maker...Bingo, you've got yourself your own home business! Flynn De Marco

Console Watch: Get Your Xbox 360

Brian Crecente — Wed, 14 Dec 2005 16:27:18 MST

More first hand reports are coming in of Costcos you can and cannot find Xbox 360s at.

According to a reader in my very own Colorado, the Westminster Costco had a dozen still available as of 4 p.m. Wednesday.

A reader in Southern California reports that Costcos in his region had 120 each last Saturday. He adds that two friends bought Xbox 360s at stores in Philly and San Francisco last Friday.

A Washington State reader reports that the Xbox 360 shipments are being staggered to Costcos across the country. He was told that only stores that didn t receive launch day stock are going to get Xbox 360s this time around.

I'll try to keep updating this with locations that have stock and when they had them after the jump.

Westminster, Colorado: A dozen as of 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Target
Gateway District, Oregon: Two to four as of Wednesday.
Fairview, Oregon: Two to four as of Wednesday.
