Xbox One Bundle
ONE OF THE most
longed-for presents
on many wish lists
is a new video game
console. Costco can
help make your family’s holiday wishes
a reality with a great
value on Xbox One.
Costco ware-
houses will carry
Xbox One bundles
with a 500 GB hard drive console, one
wireless controller and a digital down-
load of The Lego Movie Videogame.
Costco’s bundles offer great savings
over retail, and you’ll find more bundle
and hard drive options on Costco.com.
Xbox One is made for the versatile
gamer; you can connect to the Xbox Live
online community to play multiplayer
games with friends, or enjoy digital and
disc-based games (the console also reads
select Xbox 360 games). Games can be
stored on the Xbox hard drive, and if you
run out of space, you can purchase additional storage; Seagate’s external Xbox
hard drive is also available at Costco.
One of the neatest features of Xbox
One is the ability to stream games from
the console to a nearby PC with Windows
10 and still gameplay with the Xbox controller. This means someone can watch
TV without interrupting your game time.
Also, Xbox One can stream popular apps,
such as Hulu and Netflix, and play Blu-ray
movies. It’s pretty easy to switch
between games, TV and media apps.
Now is a great time to get an Xbox
One. Many game creators are producing
titles that take full advantage of its graphics requirements, so you’ll have a wide
variety of games to choose from, including
the recent Halo 5: Guardians.
And don’t forget to check out our
other great console bundles, and our
selection of hit games, which make excellent stocking stuffers. (Xbox One bundle:

Square Trade Protection
IF YOU PURCHASE
tablets, computers,
TVs, smartphones and/
or cameras at Costco,
you can feel confident
knowing that if something were to happen
to your beloved new
gadget, Square Trade
protection plans have
you covered.
Since 2011, Square Trade has protected
the electronics of more than 3 million
Costco members, and in 2016 the program
will expand to include major appliances.
Plan coverage varies; some include protection from accidental drops and spills,
mechanical failures, LCD burnouts and
power surges. Plans also offer in-home
repair for TVs, or free TV shipping to a
repair facility. There’s a limited time to purchase Square Trade’s plans after making
your initial electronics purchase.
Coverage options are as follows:
TVs: Five years of coverage for $29.99,
$59.99 or $89.99, based on the purchase
price of the TV. These warranties provide
an additional three years beyond the two-year TV warranties already offered by the
Costco Concierge Services program.
Computers: Three years of drops and
spills coverage for $69.99 or $99.99, depending on the price of the computer.
Android tablets and cameras: Two
years of drops and spills coverage for
$29.99, $49.99 or $79.99, based on the price
of the tablet or camera.
Smartphones: Two years of drops and
spills coverage on any smartphone for
$99.99 (with a $50 deductible per claim).
As a buyer, I know Square Trade’s ethos
and value for member satisfaction mirror
Costco’s. They are a great partner, and they
build trust with every member experience,
which is clearly reflected in their many five-star ratings on Costco.com.

The Ingress Protection (IP)
rating of 68 means it can withstand long-term immersion in
water, not just a splash here or
there. It offers up to 12 hours of
playing time with a built-in
rechargeable lithium-ion battery,
and its four-step LED battery
meter gives a visual indication of
the battery level. With its 1-amp
charging capacity, this speaker
can even charge your smartphone
when you’re away from a power
outlet. It includes handy features,
such as a speakerphone and a
built-in LED flashlight, and a universal screw mount. The EcoCarbon speaker is the ultimate
speaker for outdoor enthusiasts,
and at Costco you’ll find it bundled with a car charger at a fantastic value. Item #999740. C
