*Update 2* - And now it looks like they all went into backorder status and are back to regular pricing. Pretty sure that won't last long though -- those prices were there for a reason so they'll likely appear again soon. Plus, you can hit the sotres -- a lot of folks are saying they still have them and are selling them for the sale price.
*Update* Best Buy Mexico has dropped prices as well -- Thanks, @icemanswimmer!
As much as I hate stating the obvious and inevitable -- Best Buy USA has now followed suit of their Canadian branch for the most part. All BlackBerry PlayBook versions have now dropped in pricing. Right now a 16GB is going for $200 with a 32GB going for $230 and 64GB roundong out at $300. For the moment, 16GB and 64GB are currently on back order with shipment dates showing as mid December but 32GB are currently in stock and ready to be shipped.
PS: Yes, the pricing has a misprint on it -- don't get overly excited unless you're willing to fight for that price.

While there is no official date listed for the actual release, it's another good sign that things are on track. The all-new PlayBook OS 2.0 brings together the...
