Roku 2 XS Costco B&M and online($4.99 shipping) 69.99

Quote from dadab : Actually I got mine from BB like six months ago - I had them price matched to Toys r us clearance price of $49.99,not sure if they will price match to Costco(cuz it is a warehouse club)

I FOUND THIS ON A BB WEBSITE/FORUM

I am disappointed to hear that you’ve had such difficulty with a price match at your local Best Buy stores and apologize for the frustration this has caused.

Yes, we do price match Costco as long as it is in your local area and the price match aligns with our price match guarantee which you’ve quoted above and is available at http://bbyurl.us/PM. A local retail competitor distance will vary depending on the area and is determined by store management; a store in Montana will have a larger local area than a store in New York for example due to the density of retail locations.

Our price match policy is not up to manager discretion to honor or not as it is a company wide policy. Assuming Costco had the same advertised non-bundle item in stock and they are in your local area; I do not see a reason why this price match would have been refused.

I would appreciate it if you could share, either publicly or via private message, the store locations which you visited so I can partner with the store management there to learn why you were refused the price match.

Thank you for sharing your concerns and I look forward to hearing back,

I mentioned this deal on the Sam's Club post a few days ago. Expires on 1/5/2013 and is available at the B&M Costco locations also.

The Hulu plus trial is 2 months through Costco (for "new" users only). Your link goes to the Geico 1 month trail

I can already hear it... The Costco one is bundled with a 2 meter HDMI cable and 2-month Hulu Plus card so it does not count.

Interesting though, BB used to say Costco is "wholesale" and not retail thus they do not price match. I still would buy through Costco because of less hassles and the Conseirge extended warranty on many of the electronics

Yeah, I realized that after I posting it. The Geico link is a free trial that anyone can use.

One more thing to add is that Costco has *unconditional* return policy on this item similar to the case with PS3 and other bluray players. So if it stops working or is defective, they will refund it years down the road. Confirmed it with the costco.com rep. Thus, it is meaningless to compare the price with other retailers, since costco beats them hands down.

A little off topic, but I have a question if somebody can help....
I bought a Roku before Christmas and want to buy Amazon Prime. If I link it up with my usual Amazon account, will those who use the roku be able to have access to the amazon account?

Also, I registered the Roku with a separate account from my Amazon account. Do they need the same email address?

Sorry if that's confusing and thanks for the patience in my OT post....if you had patience for it

So true - that's why I bought my SB6121 from Costco. It's like an added insurance with a $55 membership.

I also meant to say I registered with a different email from my netflix account and now can't sign into netflix. Would that be the reason?

kool...need one

Is this better than having a laptop hooked to a TV?

I use wireless mouse and keyboard. What's the Pro and Con of Roku 2 vs a laptop.
