Surely they can't say sorry you gotta pay $499 I would imagine. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

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!

Please let us know how that goes | 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.

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.

Earlier we saw that Walmart Canada had started to slash the BlackBerry PlayBook price by as low as $198 for the 16GB variant. Future Shop is now slashing their pricing for the PlayBook for a 16GB at $199, 32GB hits $299.99 and the 64GB falls to $399.99. The sale supposedly begins this Friday and is available in store or online.

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.

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  | |

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. Posted via RS Mobile | |

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
