Price Comparison on Westinghouse LED-LCD TV

The warehouse club Costco has their Westinghouse 42 inch LED-LCD TV listed currently at a price of $599.99 online. That price reflects a $70 savings which is good now through November 25, 2010 (while supplies last). Shipping, however, is $49.99 which makes it virtually the same price as the Black Friday deal offered by Best Buy.

If you are a member of Costco, their current deal appears better than Best Buy's Black Friday deal. You can purchase it for the same price online without having to deal with the hassle of fighting off after Thanksgiving shoppers. Plus, Costco extends the warranty a year. So, instead of a 1 year warranty, you will get a 2 year warranty on this product.

If you are not a member of Costco, their home membership is $50. It might be worth the $50 to get the extra year warranty and to avoid the Black Friday crowds.
