Doubt it will happen anytime soon. This one is on sale because Apple doesn't use lightning any longer on its phones. The "android " one is the iOS one now also.

Pretty much can't pass it up at this price, although that means I have to set foot into a Costco at Christmas time...

Are you able to check if the Clackamas, OR store? It would be great to know if any are still available come December 26th.
I'm actually going into the store and getting stock. The clerk only looks at their region mw and it would be odd to them if I ask them to check another region. NW would have stores in AK, ID, MT, OR, UT, WA.

I did the instacart trick where you type an address near the Costco you want to check stock and it shows the backbone is out of stock for your store.

Picked up 15 of these for all of my nieces and nephews. I activated all of them on my account and kept the 25 gift cards. Win win for everyone. They get a $100 dollar backbone and I get the gift cards. Basically they come out to $4.97.

I was in my local Costco today and looked for it as there were a bunch about a week ago. They were moving everything around for post Christmas and once I located the game area again, asked if they had any left and was told they sold out today, with the last of them going to one person who purchased the last 49 of them they had.

Just handed out 6 of them and they were a hit. Not everyone is ungrateful for what they receive my friend.

How did you activate them because these are confusing? And do you need to make multiple accounts?

This is a great deal, but keep in mind that it's only for iPhone 14 or older (Lightning USB). Won't work for iPhone 15 or newer (Type C USB)

south Austin is cheaper, but I've not verified quantity or stock in general.
Cheaper than $29.97??? That was the price at Cedar Park and North Austin.

Yeah, and pville (the highest actually) — based on the "add 12.75 for same-day" thing, it's about $22. The other stores have been trailing south for this, discount-wise.

Does this controller work for any game you play on the iPhone like PUBG?

Weird question, but to activate the device could we use a lighting female to usb c male on an ipad, get the $25 credit, and then use it a "wired controller" on said ipad? Or does it actually check the device attached is iphone 14 and older?
