This wouldve made the ultimate toiletstation. not totally convinced BB will ship though..

StylinRed 08-20-2011 08:48 AM

^^ same

but i have had cases in the past where an item is said to be sold out/out of stock but you can still purchase it and have it shipped (from bb/fs) something along the lines of them withholding stock but its there yada yada

we'll see



how long was this mass sell off going on for?

SkinnyPupp 08-20-2011 08:48 AM

So stoked that I no longer have to feel bad for watching videos and games on the ipad while traveling, while my wife gets my old PSP :fuckthatshit:

Now she gets her own tablet, albeit kind of a sucky one. I bet it's better than the ipad 1 though, I am looking forward to finding out.

Datsun 08-20-2011 08:49 AM

I tried finding the earliest posts and it was around 4:30PM ish yesterday. I only heard about this at 7...and everywhere was already sold out.

Someone @ RFD is lining up outside the HP store, we'll see what happens in 15 min when they open.

Best Buy Stuck with a Stockpile of HP Tablets Nobody Wants - HotHardware

Vansterdam 08-20-2011 09:02 AM

seems like only place online that has it right now is best buy

Datsun 08-20-2011 09:12 AM

Welp, ordered @BB but I'm not getting my hopes up. If they cancel my order I'll bitch and moan for a gift card.

Have a friend getting in touch with HP enterprise as well. lol

FROM BEST BUY USA

Best Buy's HP TouchPad Return
and Price Match Policies


What should I do if I purchased the HP TouchPad outside of the 14-day return policy and would like to return it?
Best Buy is extending its return/exchange policy on the HP TouchPad and all HP TouchPad accessories to 60 days. Come into a Best Buy store and we will help you find another tablet to fit your needs or issue you a refund.


Does the Best Buy Price Match policy still apply if I see the HP TouchPad discounted at another retailer?
No. As of August 19, 2011, the HP TouchPad is on clearance and we will no longer be selling the units so we will not offer any price matches. As mentioned above, we will still be offering an extended return/exchange policy.
interesting how they are not even going to sell it for cheap I wonder if these will all be dumped into Canada then

StylinRed 08-20-2011 09:28 AM

it says they're on clearance but its off their website already (went there to check too)

amazon.com is offering a whole $25 discount off of retail ;)

Vansterdam 08-20-2011 09:36 AM

16gb option back up for pickup/shipping

i tried pickup option but it never seems to work lol and now it seems like the shipping option is gone again

*keep refreshing and its back up lol

StylinRed 08-20-2011 10:01 AM

walmart in the US sells them according to posts on other sites

and rumor is that bestbuy, usa anyway, is shipping all their Touchpads back to HP! (OUCH) so maybe HPs website will be in stock for quite some time starting monday

Datsun 08-20-2011 10:05 AM

HP Store guy said the clerk took the names of everyone looking for the touchpad and sent them all home. Rumor is that HP will sell @ the discounted price starting monday.
