Logitech Harmony 880 Remote -- $97.99 at costco B&M (new, not refurb)

I saw this at Costco in Wharton, NJ this morning. Not as good at the Dell deal a few months ago, but still a great price. I've been looking for one to replace my xbox version ever since the dog chewed it up a few months ago.

I didn't see this product available on the costco.com web site.

Decent deal for it being B&M w/out any rebates. I own one of these for 4 years now and it is still going strong (knock on wood). Great remote.

In case anyone looking for these in my area I've seen lots these in Tustin CA costco for the same price.
But I ended up getting something different for my HT setup.
The URC-R50seem to be a much better built remote with more options for less price. I got mine for $89+FS from Newegg.
Reviews here at Remote Central seem to be really good.

I too have this remote and love it. I actually have 2 of these even when I had the chance to upgrade to the Harmony One. I agree the PC connectivity is vital nowadays. There are so many new products that there is no way to program the remotes in the factory and expect it to be relevant once sold. This thing even has the codes for the Nyko USB remote dongle for my PS3.

Decent price, but but be warned that the frequently used buttons on these babies wear out in a year or two.

//Had three of them
///Will still probably pony up for another

hey gumby.... the 2 on our 550 got stuck also....
