Looks like I was the fool, I did not read the entirety of this post:
I'm glad I was not rude! I just said "OK, thanks anyway, I'll go to VZW." Thanks for pointing that out!

Wow, that took some finagling. The local Costco only received 6. I called at 9:59 AM and spoke to a really nice guy who called me as soon as the shipment arrived; I booked it down there and grabbed the last one (he'd held it for me). Droid Bionic: I has one!

The screen protectors that came with mine (from Costco) are not even big enough to cover the screen.
I was thinking of doing this but I can't verify it comes with the same goodies. I was under the impression that in-store and online were different set ups.

Thank you for this!! Placed my order successfully. Now just MORE WAITING!!!
I called and asked about this. They confirmed over and over that it is the same bundle as in the store. (Heads will roll if it isn't!)
One KEY thing I think needs to be mentioned is that, after you place your order, if you are currently on Unlimited Data you need to CALL and have them notate on your account that you wish to keep it!!!
Went to two Costco's first one didn't received their shipment in the AM. The second one, I was the first to get one almost a half an hour later. Awesome. Everything they gave was great apart from the case where I can't rotate it so that it opens up instead of towards the side. Not bad though.

I called and verified the same thing. I asked repeatedly whether or not it was the same package, she confirmed. She also said to immediately call and request the unlimited data package to be kept. Happy to hear you heard the same thing too. I'm about to order mine!!!

Indeed, I did have to stipulate even at the store that I wanted to keep unlimited data.

I got one at a Costco in Gilbert AZ. They got in nine today and were all gone in about 15 minutes. They said they expect nine more tomorrow.
Are you sure we have to call about our unlimited data plan? I was told there would not be any changes to the plan, just re-up for another 2 years.

Were you at the one on Country Club and Baseline? If so, there's a good chance you and I ran into each other.

I was referring to ordering online at costco.com. Their ordering system assumes every customer doesn't have a data plan, and requires you select one of the tiered data plans when you add a smartphone into your cart. Alarmed, I called them, but they instructed me to call with my order number and have them notate that I want to keep my current data plan and all would be good

Exact same thing happened to me but when I went through to execute my order the f'ing online store was out of Bionics as well. Dude at my local Costco had told me that he set one aside for me too. I just can't win! Pissed until tomorrow when I lock one down... hopefully.
I did go into a Verizon store today to make sure I liked it and its pentile screen. I can see what people complained about but still not that big of a deal. Thing was sweet.

That leather carrying case DOES rotate. I didn't think it would either but then I looked at it and thought "it has to" ... takes some muscle for it to rotate and I promise you won't break anything, lol.
I wouldn't use the case if I wouldn't of been able to rotate it, phone might fall out haha.

That could've been me. Costco is 45 miles/1 hour away. I called this morning they said they had 6 inbound sometime today. They had six paper cutouts of the phone and they were giving one to each of the first six customers to redeem for a phone when they arrived. When I called they had 4 left. The salesman also verified the accessory bundle and $279.99 price. By the time I got ready to go, I called again. The phones had come in and were all gone!
The guy at the kiosk said they were getting 9 more in either on Saturday or Monday, and his guess was they would be in on Saturday. Told him we had spoken earlier and I was getting ready to jump in the car to get one. He said, "I'm working Saturday. Call me when the store opens at 10 and I'll let you know if we have them." He also said he'd hold one for me until I got there.

Six. Seriously some shenanigans. They were fielding TONS of calls while I was there: "No, we're sold out," "No, they sold out immediately. . ."
Might as well throw my experience in her as it is slightly different that what you guys have seen.
Was a Costco about 9:45. A few cars around but nobody in line. About 5 till I notice a line starting so I walk up. Line of like 20 people, but only 2 others went straight to the booth (whew, I'm safe!). They also had 6.
Except they don't have them yet. She expects them at 11am. She then proceeded to sell the phones to us When my turn comes up I ask if she'll give me a ring when it comes in as I can't really sit around until 11 on the "chance" it will show up. She happily agree's. w00t!
Called about 12 and I picked up around 1:30pm. Haven't played with it yet, but I'm happy....
