Yes. It is one of those "oversized sheets they hand you on the way out for next week". Don't have a camera or scanner handy, but trust me.
I guess it's only on those sets, as it specifically mentions only three item numbers, 912135, 895133, and 991419.
Right under the date, though, it says "Also Available at Costco.com". Only two other items on that page say the same. You might want to check it out!

I think i might pick up the Sopranos season 5.
If someone is looking for a Band of BRothers and wants to pick up a Sopranos season 5, i will trade you my unopened Band of Brothers.
I think these are nice deals.

And garrettg, I didn't see any copies of Six Feet Under: S4; in fact, it looked like the Eugene store only had Season 3 (50+ copies!) along with all five seasons of Sopranos and Carnivale: S1.

Just got back from the Arrowhead store in Peoria AZ and picked up Band of Brothers no probs. There was even a store worker asking ME how the coupon was going to work haha. I simply said, it should work on all these HBO tv sets like the coupon says and went to the checkout.

FWIW - if you are considering Carnivale S1, it is available for about $22+shipping from most korean dvd webstores (dvdheaven, koreandvds, etc). It is labeled as region 3, so you will probably need a region-free player or one that can be made region free with help from videohelp.com .
If your player is not "hackable" -- for the price difference between the Korean release and the US release you could almost BUY one of those cheapo dvd players that can easily be made region free.
Too bad the other HBO sets are not so cheap in R3.

I picked up Seasons 2 and 3 of "Six Feet Under" at my local Costco for $44.99 after the coupon. I did not see any other seasons there.
The funny thing is that both seasons had the same "991419" Costco product ID number.

That's interesting. I did not know that.

Hey, can anyone tell me if the these sets are still sealed once the package is opened? When I bought Sex, they were still sealed, but my Looney Tunes weren't. This wouldn't be a big deal, but the looney tunes sets were damaged and the Sex were perfect. I appreciate your help.

Dalvin, don't let HBO's cancellation of Carnivale keep you from watching it. Season One was really good, Season Two was some of the best stuff that HBO has done in years. I anticipated each week more than the last and the finale (of the show...damn) was rewarding
And I did this 20$ off SFU a few weeks back. They didn't carry the seasons at my local CostCo, but I was able to do it online and got the first three seasons for around 44$ each. They arrived less than a week later.
So thanks to whoever started this thread. W

An update on the Korean Carnivale release for ~$23. I've received my copy and the discs are region 1, 3 and 4 which means it plays just fine in a regular USA DVD player. They appear to be almost a straight port of the USA release.
In addition to Carnivale -- and not yet confirmed as being region-1 compatible -- the various Korean webstores are selling Sopranos season 1 & 2, and Six Feet Under season 1 & 2 for under $30 each. See some of the posts in the international forum for more details.

All due respect, david, I'm not quite sure I agree with your opinion. As a viewer who gave two seasons' worth of viewing just to be left hanging... I don't know if I'd suggest someone to willingly subject themselve to the same frustration. And considering the high ticket prices of these sets (even w/ discount), even more so.
Just once guy's opinion, though.

When you can actually buy season 2, just skip the last 5 minutes of the last episode and it will feel like the story was mostly wrapped up. Those extra 5 minutes are HUGE, unfullfilled cliffhanger.

I wasn't suggesting he buy the sets. I was just suggesting that he watch the show, because dispite the cliffhanger that will never be resolved, the show was great. Jonsey and Ben in the middle of the desert, crows overhead, tar and feathers, and the amazing sunlight...that is what I remember most. I would never shell out 70 bucks on something I had never seen, but I would rent it...especially since renting has become so cheap.
