iPods spotted at Sam's Club

I don't know how long this has been going on, but Sam's Club apparently carries the iPod. I spotted it at my neighborhood Club this weekend at the lowest price I've seen so far: $289.98 for a 5G 30 GB black model. Maybe they didn't want to let Cosco have all the fun in selling iMacs?
No word on whether Apple Stores will match this price, nor when the 24 iPod bulk pack will be available.

Costco has iPods of every flavor: black, white, 30Gb, 60Gb, nano, full size... Makes me hopeful for some nice new products coming from Apple. They also still have the G5 iMacs in my local one too.
(Oh, and XBox 360's with PGR and two wireless controllers for $480 - what shortage?!)
#7 This is the packaging at Sam's. Costco's is about a third of that and the insert can be changed out so the packaging can be reused....just so you know. :)

I had never noticed the Mini being sold at Costco before or not...
Do they need to make the box that f'ing big?
