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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!
