Actually the price that was posted was $36 US. They still have about a
dozens units left at the Costco near my house. Don't know about other
areas though. This is the only place I saw it at that price. Around
here (in Canada) the cheapest other than Costco was at Walmart for
$67 US. BTW that was the price Costco had them for also before reducing
them even further just before X-mas. Of course they never say it's a sale 
or a liquidation, even though that's what it amounts to.

That would be interesting! A low end 3D Toshiba video cam to go with those
inexpensive LC Shutter glasses.

I doubt they would put any info regarding prices on their web page.
