That was an epic jump.

Hahahah.

Kevin, did you put the Best BUy chick up to trying to cover the camera with her hand? I mean asking you to stop wasn't enough? Haha, that definitely made the video, through your jump and almost wipeout was funny too...

So this video is over...hilarious! Can't wait to pick mine up today!

LOL at the BB bitch. They must turn off all their camcorders and digital cameras so customers can't try them out too.

How's that ankle Kevin? You could have destroyed your Playbook!!!

Whatt?? You live in Winnipeg?? That's the Polo park mall and that blue building behind u is Silvercity theatre haha. Wouldve been there with u but I had an 8am class so couldn't make it lol.

I went to Staples this am and was told the 64GB won't be available till the 27th then another associate came by and said they just arrived yesterday. Phew!

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH BLACKBERRY AND BEST BUY???? I pre-ordered my Playbook in March when Blackberry announced the release date. I pre-ordered from BestBuy.com because BB said this was the "partner" and the preferred launch date seller. Today, I did not receive an e-mail notifying me of the Playbook shipment. I logged on to Best Buy web site and discovered that my PRE-ORDER is not fulfilled because the device is "backordered"!!!!! I called best Buy; the help line informs me that I may have to wait 1 - 2 weeks to get the Playbook. What kinda of Mickey Mouse operation is this?????

Exciting times Kevin...big day for BB...nice jump in the air at the end! :) LOL

That was hilarious walking in..."No video taping in the store please..." while putting hand to the camera...like it's a top secret place, relax Best Buy Girl! :) LOL

pretty much the same experience here in Halifax. Only about 4 people besides myself at 0700 opening at FutureShop, but I made up for it by buying 2 32GB models and 2 64GB models.LOL. the salesman thought i was a freak..... they're not all mine

Yeah..
There's definitely no rule against video taping in the store.
What a tool.

Nice video Kevin! haha

way to go Kevin! lol ... next time tuck that camera in your jacket.

Kevin were you able to set it up? i've been on the line with support for an hour no solution, won't bring up the user agreement. Thinking i should just take mine back to staples and get one from Best Buy

she shut u down Kevin lol, should have brought her breakfast from mickys!

32GB hey Kevin, guess that your recommendation then is it ... been trying to figure out which version to buy. :-S

Should have told her if you can't film in the store, then they can't film you and have to shut off all THEIR cameras. Of course, they prob would have kicked you out preventing your long awaited purchase.

Nice Vid Kevin... Is that the Winterpeg mascot? Ms. WinterPig.. Lolz on her cameo appearance. :)
Enjoy the Playbook..

Kevin, if you are the editor of a leading Blackberry blog you should of contacted Media relations for Best Buy for clearance to film inside the store.

HA, I must have shown up about a half hour after you, but since I don't have the budget to buy 2, I had to leave, must wait for 64GB.

I went too staples too..the manager showed me a model and he said he couldn't get pass the agreement issue...he said that he tried a secoind one too..same error...I was getting worried about it..

Maybe a few r like that..I'm waiting to get one later..

Bridge it out!!!

I just called the Vancouver Costco and asked if they received any Blackberry PlayBooks today. She said nothing's comming up on her computer, but she could try searching by author if I knew who wrote the book :)

Needless to say, I'm going after work to check myself.

I think some people misread the demand for 64GB. Regina BestBuy had them but Sasktel won't get them in until next week.

YAY!!!
Too bad about the Best Buy Nazi.
I am amazed to hear so many stores do not have the 64GB, or even the 32GB in stock!

you should do a freeze frame of that jump :D

Wish mine arrived... at least I will have the weekend to wallow with it.

epic jump...glad u didn't fall ...u woulda hurt the poor playbook! :D

Hey Kevin,

I went looking around today and looks like Best Buy was one of the only stores that didn't have the 64GB Playbook. The Sears in the Polo mall has a bunch. The Rogers and MTS stores also have 64GB Playbooks. So i am definitely taking advantage of the 14 day return policy and getting one from Sears. Screw you Best Buy!

Ha ha; no video cameras in store, wouldn't want any one to see what we have in here, top secret :p

I walked into a Staples in lower Manhattan around 8:15 am yesterday to get mine. I asked the guy where the Blackberry Playbooks are. He tells me aisle 2. There is one on display, but none out. So I go to another guy and request a Playbook. He says, "Sure hold on." Then he walks over to the other guy and after two unheard sentences between the two guys, the second one tells the first to get one from the back.

I'm thinking this first guy was probably trying to keep one in stock for a buddy or something. Shoot. I want my Playbook. I'm glad that second guy was there.

Best Buy blows - preordered the 64 gig and was assured on the 18th it would be in store the morning of the 19th - drove there and - nope - no playbook and no sign of when the 64gig will show up.

Again, given the 'importance' of this product for Blackberry, I can not have dreamed up a more mucked up lead up and launch - no advertising, buggy prerelease software for reviews to bash, plenty of bugs and unanticipated BIG (see AT&T bridge) negative issues. Blackberry is doing everything possible to cut this thing off at the knees and I am a fan of the company.

The bigger concern is that with all this negative press, sales will be affected short and long term and that third party developers will continue to stay away from makimizing the tablets utility by not developing apps to take advantage of the hardware.

It seems that more than the marketing rep should be forced to resign. Wait - I got it, let's do more quake 3 demo's next to Need for Speed - we'll sell MILLIONS. And they can't even get the couple of thousands necessary to meet the tepid demand in stores on time...

gheesh....

lol funny video,videos recorded in public are the best ones
