Your mileage may vary, but at my store they have a coupon right next to the hub that says buy one compatible device get the hub for $24.99 or buy two compatible devices and get the hub for $0.99. The offer ends 9/3, and the bulbs aren't actually on the floor yet. I just asked one of the guys if he knew where they were and gave him the SKU (1000055087) and he got a ladder out and got them from above. He said they are not supposed to be on the floor yet, but are in the system and didn't see any reason why they couldn't sell them yet.

 

I haven't tried the bulbs with the hub yet, some reviews say they aren't yet supported, but that makes sense as they technically aren't supposed to be for sale... I have tried them with my Almond+ and they work great other than some software flaws with the Almond+ which is reasonable since its still beta. If you turn it on and off too quickly it won't pick up sometimes and stay on even though the app says it is off, and if the bulb is off and you change the dimness it will turn the bulb on but the app will still think it is off. It is surprisingly bright, I have it next to a 75w bulb and it is near a bright, I don't have any 60w bulbs to compare directly, but I'm satisfied with it.

 

It is an amazing deal if you already have a Z-wave device, you can offload the hub on eBay and profit with two free bulbs.

 

Good luck.
