The online store inventory check is iffy. Yesterday I checked FS on Robson and it said still in stock. I walked 3 blocks and they told me sold out. Called Walmart this morning and the bitch literally told me to fuck off and hang up.
So I decided fuck it and not wasting my time buying from the store. I'm buying it online, resellers can go to hell and suck a dick.

go to staples. they are accepting pre-orders for their next batch of playbooks.
ex.
if a store is expecting 10 playbooks but get 20 pre-orders. they will get 20 playbooks instead of the 10.

Don't think there is a short supply of playbook like the Hp touchpad fire sale. Online would be a good place if local supply all ended up on craiglist.... LOL

To those that actually have one, are you happy with it?
Didn't think it was worth the money, but since the price has come down...
After living with the Playbook for a while, do you think it was worth it?
The better sale price isn't for good? So the $199 for the 16gb won't last?

It's pretty worth it..I definitely didn't need it to begin with. But for the price I think it is. I'm not a business person just a regular consumer. the browser impressed me as I didn't think it would be this good. build quality is excellent.
I mainly use it when I'm in bed on BBM, VEVO watching old music videos, so DOPE!
browse through my pictures I take, screen is absolutely crisp, even better than my laptop.
Overall.. even if you don't need it like myself, for the price you can't go wrong.
It would be excellent for travelling, super compact and sleek.
Get it man...join the dark side.  | |

Now I just gotta find one.
Think I'll just pre-order one at Staples or get a raincheck at BestBuy before the sale price ends (assuming it does?)

Haha yeah man, I knew this would happen and I didn't want to run around looking for one..so I bought it a few days before the sale and came back for a price adjustment! Even then it was hard to find a 16GB..I went to 4 stores(without calling the store, assuming they would just have it) and finally on the last store "The Source" they had ONE left haha.

The better sale price isn't for good? So the $199 for the 16gb won't last? | Definitely worth it even if it was at the original $299 price I got it for. It's small and portable which easily fits anywhere like coat pocket, car arm rest, small messenger bag, GF's purse without adding much weight. Packed in this small tablet is a lot of power and the best thing is when I'm transitting to school I can tether or bridge to my phone and browse/watch videos on a much larger screen. This is perfect for those who think BlackBerry's screen is too small - it is now an extension of your BlackBerry once you bridge it.
There's actually a lot of games now. Looks like there are a lot of more serious paid games with decent graphics in App World than time wasting games/apps like the AppStore.
