Heck, even music stores have lost their value. It's iTMS all the way for mainstream stuff. I'll probably still buy specialty CDs that won't be in iTMS (street musicians, stuff on vacation, etc...) but the price is better online, and all I do with CDs is rip them into iTunes anyway. This cuts out that middle step. CDs that I buy get read once, and shelved. A bit of a waste. I can’t imagine buying a CD at Costco (or any Big Box) anymore.
