That was exactly my mentality when I was TV shopping for the Old Man earlier in the year. Funny how I was considering the exact same 3 vendors (+ Visions) as well.
We ruled out BB and Visions quite quickly since their regular deals didn't seem particularly attractive, and we wasn't really shooting for anything particularly new or high end. OpenBox was cheaper (even though you have to pay cash or maybe Interact instead of credit card), and if the TV were for myself, I would have gone that route. But for the Old Man, I didn't want him to deal with any trouble should something go wrong, and OpenBox's warranty period was quite short (6 months only, I believe?). Whereas with Costco, you pay a little extra ($50 or something for the sizes we were considering?) and you get a trouble-free, no hassle 5 year warranty plan.
