R.I.P. It's already begun...

Costco did that months ago in March.

Check out the new DVD/VCR combo units too. They are all w/o tuners. If you want to record television, you need a cable box or some other sort of outboard tuner.

OK, I will admit I like shopping at CostCo but not for electronics. OH wait, I don't do Best Buy either and I am ashamed to say I helped build 5 or 6 of them here in the Valley. After the 3rd round of the same stupid mistakes on the blueprints, their level of stupidity in this area became kind of mind-numbing. It wasn't rocket -science. All the stores were almost identical and you would have thought that they would get the prints revised after being shown the same money-wasting, time-consuming errors again and again.
Hehe, I don't shop at Wal-Mart either. Sam is pumping far too much into the Chinese economy.
OK, I feel better now.

Yes, my cousin just bought one of those $59.99 DVD/VCR units for his church. The stupid thing didn't even have an RF output, let alone a tuner. He had to buy a seperate modulator to use with the TV. I've seen a few higher priced DVD recorder/VCR combos with ATSC tuners. I wonder if anyone makes a stand alone VCR with an ATSC tuner?
