^^ 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?

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

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.

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.

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
