There's a great discussion going on in Off-Topic about young people being stretched. I understand the desire to save a buck, but if you're saving a buck or two on some gadget that you don't really need, well you can see why the majority are fucked financially.

RFD is a good site (and I've found many deals on there I wouldn't normally have), but again, the fucked up users have really done some damage in the world of retail.

A friend of mine works at the Metrotown Futureshop and he said they will price match and give another 10% off

Won't they only price match only if their competitor has stock??

Yes that is correct

10percent of the difference. So that should be around 30bucks for the
16gig. Weoooooo

yeahh only around 188 with tax
LINE UP AT FUTURE SHOP ON THE 18TH hahahah

Won't matter if WM is out of stock unless you find soem dumbass rep at FS or BB who will price match just for seeing the ad alone. Heck even if they have it in stock at WM some managers or reps will try to bullshit you because the price difference is to big and they don't wanna take the hit. Happens all the time. Still debating whether I should try to get one first then try Price Protection.

16gb's are no where to be found, i believe i bought the last 2 from queensborough walmart, apparently some employees were hiding it in the back without purchasing it, and I put them on hold, and the manager said to the employees too bad so sad, lol.

I wonder what poco walmart has for 16s left

Hopefully this sale is REAL. So stoked. I wanna use it as
An E-reader lol.

Anyone else using it as one? Prooly so bad for the eyes!

The sale is real, it's in their flyer. Problem is getting your hands on one. The 16gb will be hard if not near impossible to get but you do have a decent chance to get the more expensive ones if you choose to.

I just hope Walmart will honor the price change on the one I bought yesterday

Apparently according to a pic from another thread, poco walmart have a huge stack of 16s left.

according to crackberry forums the prices are canada wide and not specific to walmart, lol. so im guessing all retailers are running out of playbooks.

i checked online availability for the 16gb for futureshop. and they are stocked in all locations, flyer comes out tomorrow.

I'm sure they will as long it's unopened. If they won't then just return it and buy it again. They can't say shit then lol

debating if i should hold out till boxing day or not lol

lol. thats a long wait. iono if i could do that. i was gonna jump on the kobo vox
glad i waited. now the playboook is cheap. im on it.
its fate man. Fate

yep thats why mines still in the box unopened. the next 3 days are going to suck and I cant even play with it friday night :okay:

Is getting the rapid charging pod worth it? Found a good deal on ebay for them

NEW/UNOPENED/ORIGINAL - Blackberry Playbook Charging Pod - ACC-39340-303 | eBay

also found this cheap case

Man I love getting baked and buying shit on the net lol

I got one off amazon for $41 (2 day shipping included with Amazon Prime) shipped to Point Roberts. It's pretty nice to have it docked on your bedside table or next to your computer. You can then use the charger it comes with to charge your phone as it will charge it twice as fast with the bigger output.
Edit: Charges my 9900 from yellow to full in a little under one hour.

199,299, and 399 at Future Shop now too. Starts on Friday in store and online.
Future Shop to slash BlackBerry PlayBook prices, offers it up from $199 | MobileSyrup.com

Just think all of the money these companys are making with them being able to drop the price $300 at a drop of a hat.

Oh god... must not.... buy.... tablet....

I'm going to try and get 2 through 2 different methods.

#1 Buy one today at BestBuy and go back Friday to ask for Price Protection. I've done Price Protection on other things before without problems so hope they don't pull some BS because this is a crazy sale.

#2 Order online and select ISPU in which you have 3 business days to pick up or else it's cancelled. I will go in on Friday and even though when I ordered it the price was $499, I don't see how they can charge me that price on Friday when it's clearly not even being sold for that price.

I'm going to ask the Manager when I go into the store today and see if these will fly and if he says yes I'll get his name and if he says no I wil still go through with it and see how they explain themselves on Friday if it doesn't work. Good luck everyone!

So you're paying full price online first?
Please let us know how that goes
