Costco has the love-it-or-hate-it Vizio SB36512-F6 Soundbar for $289.99 after $160 off. This is $10 cheaper than the current Bestbuy offer.
From what I can tell from reading comments in the many previous deals on this, the Vizio Atmos soundbar systems hold the promise of good sound+feature quality for the buck and that promise is frequently destroyed by a never-ending series of firmware bugs and even pulled firmware "updates". So buyer beware, read those prior threads, know what you're getting into, etc. But hey, at least in this instance it's on sale at Costco so any potential returns should be smooth.
Price is valid through 2/24/20 or while supplies last.

Pretty sure new electronics come out all the time 😂 and they are going to be expensive. This is one of the best atoms sound bars for the price and I own one.
To conclude, was it a good experience? Definitely, no for the buying experience.
Was the SB worth it? Every penny despite the frustration you get in setting up this item!
Atmos doesn't even work properly with my ceilings, but going from a generic soundbar (no sub or read speakers) to this has been a game changer.

Same experience for me...lots of glitches...sound was good "when" it worked right but not worth the problems. Wanted to like it but returned it after a few weeks. Maybe their next one will be better if they can work out the quality issues.
Beam price mistake? What did you get for how much?
Costco sold the Sonos Beam for 179 for a few hours on either thanksgivings morning or black Friday morning. It seemed like the accidentally combined the beam and playbar discount at checkout.
If you want one now and are willing troubleshoot a little to get atmos, go for it (especially with the 90 day costco return policy). If you are willing to wait you can get the refresh (all black) with DTS-X support with their 2020 soundbars.
