The one I buy in store will be full price first. The one I do online we will see, I ordered it today at $499 but when I go pick it up on Friday they should sell it to me at $199 because that's the new price. Surely they can't say sorry you gotta pay $499 I would imagine. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Futureshop will also be selling playbooks at the same price as walmart soon.

Just came back from BB and spoke with the manager. They said yes they will honor the Price Protection and also honor the ISPU at the new price. Picked up 2 and also have 1 more to pick up on my ISPU. Sweet!

Futureshop at Robson and Granville has about 10+ of 16Gb in stock so for those wanting to get one they can go there. This was at 12:30pm today.

If I recall you won't get charged for pickup till you physically pick up the item in store. At least that's what it was like before.

Correct, which is exactly why the manager said it would be fine. Doesn't matter what price it was when you ordered it because you pay when you pick it up and if it happens to scan for a lower price then that's what you pay.

That's what I am doing, would be strange if they were to try to charge you for the higher price.

Yea, considering you pay at the time of pick up I don't see how they could fudge their way out of not giving it to you for $199. Price Protection and price matching stuff they could make up some BS but can't see it for this. If all doesn't work out though I'm not losing any sleep over it.

Getting mine today than going back for price protection as well lol.

So if I get this right, you can order online now for store pickup @ Bestbuy, and then pick it up when the sale starts so we get it for the sale pricing?

TIA. I gotta get on this hustle game lol

Yes you can do that, or you can get it now fuck the hassle of running to different stores trying to grab a 16gb. Get one now and go back to your nearest (place of purchase) and get a price adjustment :)

hahaha, what about touchpad users? any description for them??

how is screen pixel /or color compare to touchpad? besides size. Also processing power wise, does playbook come out on top too?

Muhaha. I just bought one. Paid full and gonna get the price match

is this thing any good? 200 is the price of a kindle fire, and you can root that and load custom roms.

If you only want to do basic browsing, view a PDF, Word document, Excel spreadsheet and to check some web based e-mail, watch a movie or TV show, this is fine. But if you want to start doing stuff like customization etc. this would be the worst candidate.

Basically, the philosophy around Blackberry Phones (i.e. productivity, little in the way of customization, security, minimalist aesthetics, etc.) is carried over to the Playbook.

If you want customization, stick to Android. If you want a device that just "works", it's either iPad or Playbook.

Going to pick one up for myself and a friend. Ordered one online at Futureshop and the other at Best Buy. Both for in store pickup.

FS has already confirmed the sale. I wonder if BB will drop the price too. If they don't then that means price match and save a few more dollars.

^I'm sure Best Buy has the deal as well cuz winson604 went to BestBuy for both his PlayBooks.

According to RFD the deal is confirmed for WM, Staples, FS, and BB so I'm not too worried about it.

This is great news for BlackBerry. So many more people are gonna be on the PlayBook now that the price is set on par with the Kindle Fire. I have a lot of friends and family members now getting on this because of the price. It really is the best bang for the buck. You can get 2 and a half 16GB PlayBooks for the price of one 16GB iPad :fullofwin:

speaking of the kindle fire, anyone planning on importing it?

Just got mine at the source. for 499, getting a price adjustment on friday :)
this thing rocks!! So fun and lying in bed using bbm while surfing on the same device is dope!
