From my understanding, they changed the 6 month policy to 3 months, due to the high amount of false returns. People would buy a TV and then 5.5 months later, go back and return it for a better one. Because of this they decided to change the policy to 3 months and many people are disappointed because it takes away that 'what if it breaks in 5 months' idea...instead of those who used that time for a new upgrade. Kinda sucks because I used to use it as a backup incase products failed on me, but I guess Costco did what they had to.
Got a tip for us?

Hey, don't be a jerk. He CAN'T wait from what I read. He needs it for work now. I would say if its true that you can't wait, to go ahead and but the MBP now and maybe sell it/restock it when the new ones come out. However, its not like the current MBP are suddenly gonna be terrible computers when the new ones come out
(not to be sexist calling you "he" )
