F-ing Awesome!
And 1st post!
I did find another one on sale on Ebay for $175, $195 to buy it now. Says that RIM gave them out for their 25th anniversary to all their employees last year. Pretty bad ass gift if you ask me.

Here's a link to the Ebay auction if anyone's interested:

Nice detective work there!! Definitely explains it fully.  :)

And makes sense that it was given out last year... that was the 25th anniversary.

Indeed, this was a BB employee item for....2009 I believe. I guess someone didn't like theirs. :)

Why is Waterloo on Baltic?! It should be on Boardwalk, with Dubai in Park Place!

 
 
Posted by simplayer Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

They're placed in chronological order.

 
 
Posted by AngryChineseDriver Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

Good call. Although I don't understand why US is so far behind, then (I can't see what American city it is).

 
 
Posted by simplayer Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

I'm pretty sure that's what it was anyways. I can't remember their explanation.

The US city is Irving.

Thanks! You learn something new every day. :)

AFAIK RIM has office on Irving, TX. Maybe it's where their country offices are located?

 
 
Posted by simplayer Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

Yes and yes. I'm just not sure about the ordering of the offices. I know that Dubai was the last one (as of the printing of the game), but I didn't think that Hong Kong came about before Irving (or any number of other places)

LM@O! Way kewl BB beans!!!

 
 
Posted by elvin1983 Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

Well I did comment on this before... Until my post got yanked because I posted a link to Ebay where there is another one for sale for $195. Guess I can't post a link for people to view...

Anyways, go to Ebay and search for RIM Monopoly, you'll see it there. It does say that RIM gave these to their employees in November 2009 to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Says it was never released to the public.

 
 
Posted by pkcable Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

You sure it got pulled?  I can still see it.

 
 
Posted by ShoshiOne Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

I had seen his post at first. Then I came back about 15 minutes or so later to check on something in the pics and his post didn't show up. I see it now though. Odd.

 
 
Posted by TaZ52083 Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

That's an awesome gift Kevin enjoy it.

I'm an AT&T customer in rural Central Florida, so you can imagine my excitement when the five year old called me to the backyard to watch Santa fly over (I'm sure it was just a small plane) Christmas Eve and I go back inside and see that my Torch now has 3G. That was just a plane, right??

 
 
Posted by ccdawg Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

Posted by crackhead007 Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

That monopoly set is REALY COOL!!!!! Since you did ask to post what we got for Christmas I got a red Torch 9800 from my girlfriend I got her the Seidio extended life battery for her Tour and a 32" LCD TV.

Looks great...where's free parking??? or is it disguised as free wi-fi? lol

 
 
Posted by ShoshiOne Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

Whoops! Didn't say anything about my gift this year!
Well...I had gotten it early...and it was a Hanukah gift not a Christmas one. But close, right? :)

My uncle had helped me switch over from the iphone 3gs to the Torch. I was only on the phone for only a year so I had the upgrade fee and everything. He paid for all the fees and that hassle. But I got my Torch! :D

I tried to find it, it's no longer on eBay!

 
 
Posted by pkcable Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 511 days ago

Try again, it's still there, use RIM Monopoly.  Or just copy and paste the link, and make sure to just copy to the questionmark.

Posted by myermian Thursday, Dec 30, 2010 511 days ago

Be very careful about playing *ANY* version of monopoly with friends/family... it kills friendships and destroys relationships, hah!

 
 
Posted by chrismage Thursday, Dec 30, 2010 510 days ago

Kevin, you're a very lucky man! You're woman is pretty and thoughtful!

 
 
Posted by CrackedAngel Thursday, Dec 30, 2010 510 days ago

The coolest gift I got for Christmas was an Android Evo. I'm enjoying for the past 7 days, playing with this incredible cell phone. I found all the apps on here I have on my BlackBerry Torch (for free also like on my Torch) and the video and sound are superb with it's high definition big screen. Now I have the best of Both Worlds. The Torch and the Evo. What a wonderful Christmas.

 
 
Posted by Doxologist Thursday, Dec 30, 2010 510 days ago

Pretty cool gift...I'll offer $50 for an opened copy of this game to anyone selling it.

 
 
Posted by Knuw1 Friday, Dec 31, 2010 510 days ago

Very cool, never knew BB Monopy existed!

 
 
Posted by ph03n1x Friday, Dec 31, 2010 509 days ago

what if we were able to make a software version of the game? for the bb would just need to figure out how the regular monopoly is coded as a bb app but im sure we know all the details about the game

 
 
Posted by pdelong Friday, Dec 31, 2010 509 days ago

I'm jealous, would love to get one of these.

 
 
Posted by Foothill Monday, Jan 31, 2011 478 days ago

Yes, it was given out near Christmas 2009, but that was just a timing issue- it was not given as a 'Christmas gift'. As an aside I'm suprised that no one has asked what was given out this year...

Also, yes there is an office in Irving, but there are also offices in Florida, Washington, Illinois...

 
 
Posted by losthellhound Tuesday, May 17, 2011 372 days ago

I have one of these (was an employee at the time) and Im looking to sell it

 
 
Posted by powersk3 Monday, Jul 25, 2011 303 days ago

I'm interested in buying one, let me know your price please!
