I'm also seeing $49.97 for the L Prize winning bulb (Northern California). However, there are two similar bulbs at lower price points - a 10.5 watt non-dimmable for $14.97 and a 12.5 watt dimmable for $22.97. Both are A19 form factor and 60W equivalents.
I'm wondering if the poster saw that 10.5 watt non-dimmable and mistook it for the L prize winner ... or maybe HD mis-priced it originally. Not trying to thread crap or anything ...
I just checked the prices in Boston and Chicago and it's $14.97. This is the lowest price I've seen for these bulbs ever. I bought 4 of these back in Dec 2012 using a local price match of 50% coupon when the price dropped down to $29.97. When I checked the price in Jan/Feb, they had gone back up to $49.97.
Thanks for the heads-up! Unfortunately, it doesn't look like The Home Depot stores in my area carry this one.
I've been through way too many new CFL and LED bulbs, and I have to say that these particular ones look great. Nice warm color to them, and the LEDs aren't flickery like cheap Christmas lights. I think the Reveal CFLs have a similar warm color scheme, and are a little cheaper, but don't have dimming capabilities.
How are these in cold/hot weather. I have a light post outside that is a PITA to change the bulb. I used to get rough service bulbs at HF that lasted a decent amount of time but they don't carry them anymore. Regular incandescents give me 6 weeks at most due to fluctuations in temp plus it's on every night for about twelve hours.
It's $49.97 for the Phoenix, AZ area Home Depots. Switching the zip code to Joliet, IL, the $14.97 price appears. But it's an in-store-only deal, no shipping offered. Wondering if maybe they're clearing inventory for an updated model, or something? Note: there's an eBay seller that has this item for a shipped price of $32.95, but only has a few of them for sale.
Well, Costco has been selling a vaguely equivalent bulb for $14.xx for many months. IIRC it's 9W but a nice form factor with the LEDs arranged both circumferentially and axially.
And then there's eBay, for a big supply of Chinese products with the retail pricing and probably more cutting-edge because the supply lines are quicker - minus the time needed for American firms to write contracts, arrange packaging, etc. There are some amazingly high powered lights available, in 6000k or 3300k colors (and RGB, for the party-minded).
These things are "all" heat sink, btw. They have no trouble in cold weather, but it'll be interesting to see how they survive 3-sigma hot summer days outside.

The ones in Costco are not of great quality..Philips quality is highly recommendable..

My concern is these failing in 2-3 years, like most CFLs do regardless of the claims. CFLs have come down in price, however the cold and non-dimable capabilities make them not so useful in certain situations. But hesitant to jump on these - when will these become commodity or come down under $5 at least?

My luck with LEDs has been better than CFLs. I don't believe I have EVER achieved rated life from a CFL. Many of my LEDs are still going strong.
For whomever suggested getting the chinese version LED lights -be careful, and look at the lumens of the bulb. Because, usually, they are not even close to the same. Most of the chinese LEDs will NOT say what the lumens is, because it is so low. I made the mistake, before knowing, of buying some 12w - 15w LED bulbs. I have a 4 watt incandescent night light, that gives off more lumens.
From the research I have done, the lumens need to be around 1000 - 1200, to be an equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb.
Also, the temp should be around 3000k, to have an equivalent color to an incandescent bulb. 2700k will have more of a yellow(not much) hue. 6000k, more bright white with a blue hue.
I do want to check these out though. Hopefully, at this price, they will be close enough!

Don't hold your breath waiting for those to last twenty years! When is the last time that you saw a LED traffic light last more than a few years? I have several LED flashlights. None more than 5 years old. 3 already have at least 1 LED burnt out, and 1 has 3 of the 6 LEDs burnt out. Watch car brake lights when driving, and notice if you see any with a LED burnt out.
The lifetime they give LEDs is the biggest crock of bull I have heard in a long time! In a perfect lab type set up, MAYBE LEDs last a long time, but not in the real world.
Listed as "inactive" at my local stores also. Wasn't able to find any in-store after a fairly significant search. Seems that HD is not going to continue selling these bulbs?
