Default [Q] NEXUS S only available at Best Buy?

Hey, I was just wondering if Nexus s is ONLY available at Best buy. My contract ends on December 23rd and wanted to change my carrier to Tmobile and get a new family plan. Me and my family planned to get phones at Costco since it was a lot cheaper than any other places. Then i saw this article saying that its available only at best buy! is it true??? :/

Initial release will be at Best Buy exclusively in the US. I have not seen any dates on when it will be available through other retailers.

Best Buy Mobile has exclusive. No other retailers or direct from T-Mobile until further notice. Best Buy Mobile pricing is better than costco 99% of the time...rebate free as well...plus price matching if thats not the case.

No one knows how long the exclusvity agreement may be, very possible that best buy may own the lifetime rights to the device.

That being said, there is only two prices. $199.99 on contract and $529.99 unlocked.
Nexus 4 - AOKP Android 4.2.2
Asus EEE Pad Transformer w/ Keyboard - ICS 4.04 | Asus Google Nexus 7 - JB 4.1

B&N Nook Color CM7 | Nexus One CM7 GB 2.3
RAZR V3 | RAZR V3i | RIZR Z3 | T-Mobile Dash | RAZR2 V8 | T-Mobile G1 | T-Mobile myTouch 3G

And honestly, that's the price it'll probably be at any store
