SONY BDP-BX59 Blu Ray player @ costco 79.99 AC.

I checked this one yesterday at Costco in Santa Clara, CA for $99.99

the coupons started today. I was just there.

cinavia ... pass

You beat me to the posting. I was there today and saw the sony at 79, but after looking at the panasonic 220 for 99AC and the lg 620 for 99 AC (which all 3 were right next to each other) and reading the reviews on all 3 , I decided to go with the LG. By the way, All 3 of these units come with a HDMI cable included in the package. The coupons run out at differant times ,I think the lg is 1/12 and the other 2 are the end of the month. Whats nice is, if theres anything that goes wrong with the unit I bought , I can return it for another or even one of the other brands. Its nice to have all 3 of the top rated in this price range all together in one place.....Anybody have pros or cons on these 3 units? ps dont mean to hijack the thread..................

I'll check today... but usually people prefer Sony S590 which is the same BX59 for Costco. Its on #1 on Amazon.com and slightly better rating over Panny. Btw Panasonic is also 79.99 in Frys.

I considered other blu rays also before I went with the sony. I wanted a blu ray player that streamed amazon and LG doesn't so I went with the sony.

Site is wrong:
Sony BDP-BX59 Full HD1080p 3D Blu-ray Disc Player w/ Built-in Wi-Fi®
$119.99
$89.99 after $40 OFF

Bad Math
But it is correct at $79.99 (+ $4.99 shipping)
when you add to cart.

in store it was marked 79.99 for the sony , the other 2 were 99.99 AIC and you pay tax on the original cost of player.....
