First!
and im looking forword to buy a few! :D

hm looks like we should buy the 64 gb while its cheaper than the 32 gb huh

Yeah, the 64GB model says 229.99, you save 470.00 instead of 300.00

Wow. That 64gb price is ridiculous (probably because so few units have been moved).

Nice i was waiting for our price drop :)

Is this "misprint" an assumption or has this been confirmed?

Ordered a 64gb, got a nearly instant confirmation email showing a delivery date between 12/3-12/15. Now the question is...how long til the cancellation email arrives :-) .

Ordered a 64gb too, confirmed the price throughout the whole process. even at the bestbuy home page, it said save $300 and $470 on playbook.
Anyway, going to order the 32gb now, if they cancel my 64gb order, i don't have to worry out of stock. if you do honour the price, they one more christmas presents sort.

Hit my order in. Who knows, 64 price may stick. Any who, I will just wait on my error in pricing email.

Anyone ever have problems with returns from bestbuy? I want a playbook, but I am hesitant to buy from bestbuy online.

its frustrating how i got my 16gb two months ago for 345 and now the 64gb is 300. oh well

I got one. Whatever, we will see what happens.

I'm throwing my hat in the ring on the 64gb gamble as well. Worst case scenario, they cancel the order. I've got nothing to lose!

do you think they will have them at this price in store tomorrow as well?

Yeah best buy México dropped their prices...but its still 400 USD with the discount for the 16 Gig PlayBook.

I wonder if they will eventually come down in price in the UK too? Amazon.co.uk currently seeeling the 16GB for £208!!

and here they still sell the 16gig for 400€!!! -_-

i just ordered mine the 16gb, though u left with 11gb buy the time you setup the darn thing, still though it is a PB for god's sake. i love the thing i dont really care the storage as long as i can connect to my HDTV and put it on Presenter mode. lol. i hope i get it from the store tom cuz i chose to pick it up at the store since the online told me to wait about two weeks. that sort of seem like paying full price for the PB when you wait two long weeks to get one. lol. good luck my Crackberry fellas.

WHHAAATTT??? LOL. I am really tempted right now. I want to lock in a good price soon, and I'm worried that if I wait for a64gb @ 229 it'll just get cancelled and then there won't be anymore PBs left at a discount.... gotta hand it to you guys for trying though!!

Who knows... I'm seriously buying one in a couple minutes... just deliberating at the moment.

Also... no 32GB PBs available anywhere in VA (in store anyway).

I'm sure that the "you saved 470 bucks" is just a calculated field. I wouldn't take that that huge discount was entered, deliberately, twice by the marketing folks (or their vendors) who are responsible for updating the prices when discounts are posted.

price is back to normal now when i click order?

instead of all this crap discounts constant promotions blah blah blah
why dont they put a bit of spin on it and give it a realistic price worlswide
and give everyone an actual os2 release date ??

O yea on my way to best buy now! Now I don't have to show up at staples 6am Friday! PlayBook bring your sexy 64g azz over here!

Newegg.com now has the 16GB Playbook on sale for 199.99 if anyone is interested.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=B...

When you go to add to cart, it puts it in@ full price :/

Just ordered one from Best Buy, but I had to do it over the phone. The "search results" page shows the 64GB at $229, but the product page shows $699. Called them up, they ran me through a couple of people and I have an order number with delivery between 12/3 and 12/15. $241 with tax. :) 1-888-237-8289.

Not fair! I bought my 32GB at full price back in May, how can I get this discount applied to my purchase?

I wake up at 6:30 in the morning for 7:30 my ocusing in the use was going to buy for me 3 but in bestbuy they say the promo ended, so lucky for the ones that get to buy some, but the promo is out

on the phone with BB as i type this. guy just told me if i wanted to check at an actual store as well, to print out the online add, and they'll honor it!!

ordering one over the phoone to cover my @$$ on this price. then going to the store to see if they have it. with any luck, i might have the 64GB by the end of the day!!!

"Please Wait..."

Making the call, they confirm no promo, even that we said that is you advertisment, and the only thing they say is ''if the price drops we will call you''

Just got off the phone with Best Buy. I was told all orders are suspended until they hear back from corporate and he will call me back in about an hour with the verdict.

They restore the normal prices on the web page hahahaha

I'm actually impressed that so many people want a blackberry device at all! This is a good thing.

This sale is all the rage on the "slickdeals" web site with over 1000 comments!!!! I've never seen so many.

Glad to see Blackberry still have game

The majority of consumers don't necessarily want a BlackBerry - they just want a deal. Same thing when the HP Touchpad price got slashed.

Dang, looks like it's back to normal now. Was going to get one black friday at Staples but hopefully this comes back so I don't have to wait in line!

Paying $70 bucks more for a 32GB in Canada is ridiculous, when the 16GB is the same. Sigh.

Well that was fun ... 15 minutes on the phone for the girl to finally say that they returned it to regular price regardless of it still being posted as a "this week's specials" ... Guess it all about Staples on Black Friday.

yeah prices are back to normal on the site. wish i was awake earlier for this deal.

Its funny that I just got an email from RIM advertising the PlayBook on sale. I followed the links to the Best Buy site (on my BB) and it still shows the 64GB on sale for $229.99, but at check out it goes back to $699.99... WTH is going on here!!

Walmart, Buy.com, and NewEgg all display the reduced prices.

I just picked up a 16GB from a BestBuy store here in Atlanta for $199.

$398 @ Walmart. Seems to be regular price on BestBuy now :(

this is soooo wrong i was all geared up and ready to have my new playbook in hand today!! wtf!! its times like this i wish i were Canadian!! lmao ¤update¤ I just got off the phone with best buy and they put aside a PB for me to come pick up at 3 for the sale price she said that corporate is straightening things out but most importantly she said they are still ringing up in the system at the sale price!! So go get it before they change there minds! I'm getting mine! :update: they honored the sale from this morning and i got mine at 1pm! im typing on it right now and its awesome,all hail the bb nation!

Washington State Best Buy local store site showing all models on back order and at regular price. No sales going on here today......

I just called a local Indy Best Buy and bought a 32GB Playbook for $299.99(I did an Express Lane Purchase). They had it in stock and I am picking it up this afternoon after work. It seems the stores that have them in stock are still offering them at the prices that were advertised earlier this morning. Hope this might help anyone looking for a new Playbook that doesn't want to fight the crowds on Black Friday.

DID I NOT GIVE YOU THIS INFO DAYSSSSSSSSS AGO.....I KNOW MORE THEN CRACKBERRY AND TRIED TO HELP.....NO ONE LISTENED
NEXT TIME I WILL LET OTHER WEBSITS KNOW MY SPECIAL INFO

I wonder with all these promotions recently, how many they have moved. I know they have sold 700,000 so far (total).

this morning when I first got the Tweet from crackberry I went to Best Buy website, they showed disoucnted but when added to cart where full price, now I'm at work they are all full price. On newegg.com the 16GB is $199, on walmart.com online only price advertised as 16GB $199, 32GB $100 more, 64GB $200 more :( I want a 64GB for $229/$299!!! ughhhhhh

Thanks for the tips guys
Got one for myself in newegg and pickup 2 more for
my friends on walmart and free shipping on both :)

Looks like Walmart is offering these prices, at least on the 16 and 32gb.

I went Best Buy B&M this morning and they had the 64gb posted for 229. Even though the website sad they did not have the 64GB in stock. I grabbed the last one they had in.

Checked a Best Buy in Minneapolis, they were all sold out but said there were a few in some other stores. The prices were the same as the picture in the article. Looks like I'll have to check out wal-mart.

***UPDATE***Just got off the phone with my local best buy and here is how the convo went "Hi I was calling to see if you guys had the 64GB playbook for the discounted price? Daniele "let me take a look, we dont have them in stock, our store doesnt carry them but I can order one for you" Me "ok, that would be great, because I was trying to order it online this morning and when I added it to the cart it showed the full price." Order placed got 64GB for $250.69 with tax (live in AR) and FREE shipping :D BABYYYYYYYY 5-7 days to ship to my home, in store pick was not available. So give that a try guys, call your local store and put your best acting skills on!!!

In store at the Best Buy in Tampa on Bruce B Downs 16GB 199.99 and 32GB 299.99

I was jus in my local Best Buy 64GB PB 229.99 none in stock

I just picked up the last boxed 16GB version at my local Best Buy (Colorado Springs, CO) for $214.00 including tax. getting ready to unbox it now!
They had just sold the last 64GB version @ $230 to the guy ahead of me. They still have a few of the 32GB version for $299.00 in the store.

This article is misleading, because bestbuy has taken them down.

I have gotten one from Newegg for $199 (16GB)

Anyone knows untill when they have this offer?

Just got the 64gb at local best buy in Sacramento for 229.99. Last one they had in stock. They did not have any 16gb left either.

ordered mine last night after i saw Blaze1 posted the Bestbuy USA ad, chose to pick it up at the store in Apple Valley, MN. i drove to the store this morning and got mine. i ask them if they have any in stock and the guy told theyre all out. sorry my crackberry fellas. hope you get it from walmart for 198 bucks while they last.

Just picked up 3 16GB at buy.com $200 each

the customer service person i just talked to said that Wednesday they will be back on sale the the 229 for the 64gig

I woke up @ 3 this morning and saw the advertisement from Crackberry. Went online to bestbuy and got the 64 gb for $246.00 with tax (Georgia). It is back ordered and will ship in 1-2 weeks. Thanks crackberry!

Waiting for price drop in UK :(

just got an email stating my 64GB PB was on backorder with it shipping in approx 1-2weeks :( but :D for the $229 price

I just purchased a 16gb from WalMart (online only) for $198. I had it shipped to the store and will pick it up between Nov 30 and Dec. 6. Wifey will love it and stop playing Tetris and surfing the internet on mine and give it back. :) By the way, Nobex Radio app works well on the PB. I just wanted to mention a good app for the CrackBerry Fam.

A friend of mine went into Best Buy. A worker there told him that they were discounted so deeply because they were being discontinued. Now, I know that's not true, but she told him they were selling their stock and not getting in anymore. Now the 64 GB has disappeared off Best Buy's web site. I'm wondering what's going on here.

went to my local best buy and got 16 meg for $199 could not pass up. The 32 was $299

Been on best buy website off and on all day, just clicked on the 16GB to read the specs and whats included in the box etc. when on the side under related products it shows the elusive 64GB and when you click the link it says "Sorry, the page you requested was not found" LOL oh man to be a fly on the wall with who is in charge of internet advertising and such.

i got mine today from Walmart for$198 for 16G. super excited, cant wait for it to be delivered

I am sick of the price changing BS. I got the 16GB when it first came out with a case, screen protector,etc by the time I walked out it was like 800$ CAD. When crackberry stated they would be dropping the prices at futureshop to 199,299,399 I listed it on kijiji and sold it for 200 (I'm glad the guy didn't see the massive crack in the back from dropping it). I got the 32GB for 299. I paid 300 plus tax for this 9900 on a THREE year contract and now I think they are free or 100. Constant antics.

Checked this morning and the website said normal prices went to bestbuy and they didn't even have one on display or a placard for it let alone a spot. Wasn't looking to buy one just perusing but still disappointing

I really hope that Playbook buyers will eventually buy BBX phones that will run the same apps.

RIM would be smart to not only push as many Playbooks as possible but maybe do some advertising. I suppose that is too crazy though!

Anyway - If RIM can get a million or two of these out on the street, the future of this tablet will be a lot brighter in every way!

after seeing this post i called my local best buy and asked them if they had any of the playbooks in stock for the discount price. they didnt have any in stock but told me the best buy in riverside,ca only had 3 in stock. i went there and they had the price $199 for the 16gb and i think $299 for the 32gb and didnt carry the 64gb and i got there around 1pm and got the last one for the $199 price pretty sick deal since it was originally going for $499 now i can pair it with my bold 9650 =) now just to wait for os 2.0 hopefully its released in feb. my birthday month. typing this from my new 16gb playbook.

It was I that gave u a heads up......no one listened......I told u this weeks ago about the 199 price drop....go head what do i know

Yep, saw the price online for the 64GB and figured "Damn, that's a pretty big misprint!" Than I happened to be driving past my local BestBuy and figured "What the heck, why not!" Go to the tablets and what do I see: 64GB BlackBerry PlayBook for $229.99!!!!!! I pretty much almost passed out considering the fact I paid $499 for my 16GB on launch day! Haha.

I find a clerk immediately and tell him I want three of them! He looks at the price tag and says "Woooaaaah! What the hell?" Than he says "Let me check on that" and removes the price tag, but either way I want me some PlayBook!

Turns out they have none in stock because BestBuy is discontinuing the 64GB PlayBook! But at this point, I don't care! I switch to consumer mode and I want what I saw!

Long story short, after almost two hours of back and forth, they find one at a store about an hour and a half away which an employee is bringing to the BestBuy where I live and I am going to pick up my brand spanking new 64GB BlackBerry PlayBook for $229.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D

8100-->8830-->9670-->9930=PlayBook

So BestBuy is discontinuing carrying the 64GB PlayBook but RIM us still making them, correct? I want a 64 so bad!

If anybody still keeps up with this posting just an FYI I orded one of these babies right when I saw it posted on the forums and I JUST got a notification that the PB has SHIPPED via UPS!

Check my post on pg 2 for a way to get ur 64GB PB for $229 :D

Looks like there is some thruth to the discontinued 64GB, as long as I get mine lol. Best Buy website is showing 16 GB $199, 32 GB $299 on backorder.

Called the store and they got 3, got my money and headed there right now to get mine *firgers crossed

Really quick cuz I looked in the forums and didn't find anything specific. How many phones can I bridge to my playbook, I have att & baby momma has t-mobile. If only one can be done which is better? Please help

I get up early this morning and called to shops... they said to me that they didn't have any at all and they didn't know when they will have it on stock... then sundenly a few hours later thet appered on the online store on sale... i click on the add to cart button and i saw them on backorder... but it said you can picked up on the store... so i choose the second option... weird... i went to the store that i called in the morning and where they told me that the had no idea when they will be getting new stock for sale....

The two 64GB PlayBooks I ordered are still showing backordered. The wife-unit and I had been talking about getting a netbook and tablet and then I saw the post about this sale. How could I not get two for less than the msrp of one LOL! I hadn't even played with one before. Checked one out on my lunch break yesterday and yeah, needless to say, I hope the order gets fulfilled.

Just got my 16GB from Radio Shack for $199 in store.

I tried Best Buy first but they were out of stock at all the stores near me. I was going to purchase online but I got a random delivery date of 12/19.

ORDER JUST GOT CANCELED DUE TO NOT RECEIVING ANY MORE PRODUCT!!!!! AHHHHHH

Same here. Order canceled because Best Buy said they would not be receiving any more. Bummer.

Walmart.com has them in stock, would they price match???

:"(

I'm only seeing the 32 and 64 GB models at Wally World website. 32 is 299 tho so that's not bad at all

DON'T GIVE UP. I called BestBuy.com to complain about all this. I was tolf BestBuy could not honor the deal for me because they were out of 64GB Playbooks. They checked local stores, and found one within a 50 mile radius. They said that if I bought it at the 399 price they would split the $170 different beteween the 399 price and the 229 price by sending me an $85.00 gift card. I said OK and went to the store. In the store, I convinced the asst. manager to reduce the 399 price to 349. Thus, I am paying 349 - 85 = 265 (plus tax on 349). Not a bad deal for the 64GB. I am very pleased.

They can shove a gift card for all I care, I'm so pissed @ worst buy that they won't have to worry about my bisiness ever again. If I don't get a 64GB for $229 I won't be happy!
