Costco + consumer electronics = BAD.

It used to be that Costco got all of the "seconds" from electronics manufacturers. Those are the parts that failed the first QA/QC inspection and had to be fixed at the factory.

I don't know if it is still like that, but I'd rather not take the chance.

Me neither. Oh, well, if you want to go, I can take you so you don't have to get a membership just to buy one thing.

I mentioned getting the Logitech Driving Force Pro to my wife. I could feel the lasers in her eye boring through the back of my skull. Prospects are not looking promissing.

"But honey, there is a $20 coupon..."

Time to buy some jewelery.

I need to get a wireless controller. My daughter kept screwing up my driving by yanking on the cord...

Logitech needs to make a wireless wheel.
