Costco's "Lifetime replacement plan" is over. :(

After much abuse from many Costco members and trying to turn a higher profit margin. Costco has decided to dump the liberal return policy of before and have instead implemented a 90 day return policy on all electronics. Everything else in the store is still eligible for the lifetime return policy (i.e. flowers, food, etc.).

I am still going to take advantage of this system with my DSLR since I believe that old purchases made before the 25 of Feb. 2007 are still eligible for this "service".

I believe this will be a very, very bad idea for Costco. The only reason a majority of people would purchase electronics at Costco is for this policy and without it they cannot compete against online vendors or even brick and mortar retail stores.
