    Superbit at Costco

    They have a big bin full of most available superbit titles for $18.99, with a one time per household $5 rebate when you buy.

    And they were showing a 50" pioneer plama with *GASP* HD material hooked up thru the appropriate inputs!

    Pretty sad that a warehouse membership store puts a better demo of products up than the AV specialty stores.

      Now you've done it, Brandon. I've gotta go dig out the Costco membership card and go visit.

              Me, the wife and the kid schlepped out to the Tokyo Costco soon after it opened (we lived in Meguro-ku and were car-less)). We bought a bunch of stuff because we were told they delivered, then found out it was a 2-3 day and we had to carry all the perishables home. In August (think Florida in August for those of you not familiar with Tokyo weather). Luckily we had a 3 year old and his stroller.

              It was a little bizarre shopping there (pun intended). Our subconscious would be lulled by the familiar suroundings into feeling like we had gone home, then we'd run into the giant jumbo pack of dried squid jerky or nori or something (we managed to tune out the fact that everyone in the store was Japanese). Or the compact appliance.

              Speaking of which, consumer electronics aside, Japan has advanced far beyond the U.S. in one area more than any other - refrigerator access.

              They have units over there with a handle on BOTH sides of the door, and whichever side you pull, that's the way it opens. And if you pull both sides, the door does NOT come off in your hands. Man, I wish I could have taken one of those apart to see the hinge engaging mechanism or whatever that made that work. Man on the moon my ass, THAT's progress.

                  Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.
