My wife purchased mine at Costco. The return policy is not the standard Costco "bring it back any time" policy. I believe you have 15 days to return it at Costco. Beyond that, you're essentially paying $1k (before this $100 off deal) for a MP with a few extras thrown in, which is typically what Costco does for most electronic items. You get the benefit of a little more for the same price, and if you have the right membership, that purchase counts towards your annual rebate.
