Radio Shack

Reports are in that Radio Shack is the latest retailer to reduce the price of the BlackBerry PlayBook. We got a tip that the price for the 16GB PlayBook is currently $479 with a $200 instant rebate until October 15th, though when I went to the site it is $479 with a $180 discount, bringing the cost down to $299 - which is still a smoking deal. Word has it that they will continue the deal after the 15th, but instead of instant savings the reduction will be in the form of a gift card. Thanks for sending this in Stephen!

RIM should have priced it like this since the beginning.

Who spends 180.00 at Radio Shack? That doesn't qualify as a discount .

Staples.com has it for $499

Their stores only carry the 16GB ($299) so I ordered my 32GB ($399) from their site. I received it the next day (literally).
