Re: Playbook price drop
Friend of mine works at RIM and he gets an $80 rebate when he buys PlayBooks.
He was asking on Thursday if anyone wanted $120 PB's... would have taken one if I didn't have one from work already!

Re: Playbook price drop

Re: Playbook price drop
The discount prices were offered by Best Buy, Future Shop, The Source and Staples to name a few in Canada. Checked at stores and on-line for the 16g at $199 and cannot find any available on line or in store. They appear to be totally out of stock. Someone at The Source told me they are not in their warehouse either.
I wonder how many they sold in the past four days?

Re: Playbook price drop
It's called a fire sale.
Fire sale - the sale of goods at extremely discounted prices, typically when the seller faces bankruptcy or other impending distress

Re: Playbook price drop
I hope the price drop gets more people to buy playbooks and then developers take notice and they start developing for the playbook!

Re: Playbook price drop
Any idea where in Napa can I get the 64gb at 299USD? Blackberry online shop is not an option right now as the person who is getting/buying it for me will be leaving USA already to meet me in Asia.
One more thing, does BB PB have international warranty?
Cheers
