Yes, the BlackBerry PlayBook will be dropped to $149.99 (16GB and 32GB)
It was probably a good move if you’ve been sitting on the fence about getting the heavily discounted BlackBerry PlayBook. Over the past few weeks we’ve seen RIM’s tablet hit a low of $199.99, but starting tomorrow, for 1-week only, TELUS locations will be leading the way by selling the 16GB and 32GB PlayBook for a wickedly low $149.99! The 64GB version will stay the same price at $299.99. Bottom line… this is a mind-blowing good deal especially since PlayBook OS 2.0 is coming in a few weeks.
Update: This deal is now live on the TELUS site, hearing various reports that stock is incredibly low. Have fun hunting them down. Check it out here at TELUS
Update #2: We’re getting tips now that the 16GB and 32GB PlayBooks are now sold out across the country.
(Thanks tipster!)

Everybody knows that the $99 playbook is coming!
Retailers and Telcos are threatenig RIM to send the playbooks in stock back to them at RIM’s expense (They don’t sell and need they need the space for phones that sell) RIM replied with a $50 discount. The discount is “one week only” then wait another 30 days, when they can accept returns and is back on day 31.
Early adopters paid MSRP, then 3 for $1,000;$300;$250;$199, and now $150.
They made 1.5 million Playbooks and have sold about 800,000 you tell me what’s going to happen next. at $113 ($99 plus Tax) is a nice thin DVD player to keep at the back of the car. Mark my word Iwill get one in two months at that price, just wait for the Q4 Earnings report on March 29th!

Can’t imagine a contract catch since it doesn’t have a network other than WiFi so there is no data plan. As somebody pointed out, yes, there is a new one expected this summer with a slightly faster processor, HSPA+ (so it will need a plan), and NFC. But the current one will get the new software releasing in a couple of weeks so this is still a huge steal.

The carriers always had them as high prices. Look at Rogers. They still have the playbook for 499. If you think about it some Staples / Wal-marts & Future shop & BB have been sold out & try to order them because of the high demand because of the price as well. Telus is only dropping the price because no one will buy it from them with the high price they had it as. Even if they had it as 199 most people would buy it from FS OR BB OR Walmart.

To be completely fair, when he said “drastic changes” he was thinking “break up the company into parts and sell it” sort of drastic. Plus, technically for RIM the challenge right now is to hold on the best they can with their playbook update and the new Blackberry 7 devices. They can’t exactly scrap everything at this stage in the game.

There are more than HALF A MLLION PBs out there, some people have bought them at different price points and they pay what they want for the device. Those who paid $250 did so because they wanted one before Xmas. I am bitter about missing the Touchpad, so out of spite will get a PB, and I WANT to pay $113, not a cent more, so all I ave to do is wait no more than two months. There are so many around that it will happen. plus by the time I get one it will be ONE YR OLD! and an “odd” size for 2012 at 7″ whne you have 5″ superphones and 10″tablets.
People that think that its more than $150 now are overrating it. Reality is speaking now.

You need to pick one up from Telus in order to do the price change. I just contacted Best buy & Future shop near me in which they both told me ( Managers of the stores) that they will not be price matching Telus seeing as they are a carrier & not a seller like them. This could be a lie but who knows.

This is a no-brainer. The product is worth it just for kindle or e-reading alone. Just be aware you need to spend an extra (wait for it…) $2 for the reader app.
If you have a berry like I do (no choice…work) it’s a must. Once you read on the big screen it’s hard to concentrate reading on a BB.

Maybe you can get the next version of the playbook for that much… assuming it has 3g and you go on a 3 year contract.
You can get the original game boy second hand for $5. It came out in 1989. Chances are if you wanted something rare like a Turboexpress it would cost you MORE simply because no one owns it to sell it. So I’m guessing it will be $9.99 sometime around 2030?

SO i called 3 other Futures shops & Best buys around Toronto & all the store managers & other reps told me that they are not going to price match it because the rules are they are not allowed to if it shows ” While qualities last” This is true i have read it under the policy as well. Sucks tho because i have a $150 giftcard from FS.

I just called Telus in Newmarket. She had no idea about this deal but doesn’t have any in stock anyway. She said as far as she was aware it was a discontinued product, that is why she has no stock. She looked all around the area and only found 3 in stock in Scarborough town center. Nothing at Vaughan mills etc. Annoys me when they do this put something on sale then not have any stock.
She suggested you go buy one today at $199, don’t open it then return it tomorrow for full refund and buy the same one you returned for $149. That way you can be sure you get one in stock.

I was unfortunate enough to be in line at the Telus store at the Rideau Centre. There were about 15 of us who were cheesed off to learn that they had presold them the day before. Feeling like we were duped, and reasonably upset about it, the manager got a bit nervous and called security. Soon we were surrounded by a half dozen mall security.
All in all, it was a poorly run marketing program by Telus, creating more upset customers than loyal ones.

I got a 16GB $199 and am quite happy, but $149 for a 32GB is ridiculous, it’s TouchPad mania all over again. Good job to those who snagged one.

I was able to grab the last three 32 GB Playbooks at Walmart in Brantford for me and my family. I’m glad I printed the Telus deal before they removed it from their website since it appears to be gone now.

got mine (32Gb)at Telus friday morning at 149$, actually even less, the girl there was also pushing accessories to me saying the first one would get me 10% off and the 2nd 20% off my purchases. I only took the PB and then she told me after tallying up my purchase, that the PB itself counted as an accessorie! So I got 10% off on top!

Saw this on Friday on redflagdeals and spent a couple of hours calling around to Telus, FS, Best Buy, The Source, Wal-Mart, Costco, and dealers of PB in Barrie and surrounding area. No one had heard of this deal, and two they won’t price match. So, I’m not saying it was a lost leader, but as someone pointed out, it was poorly conducted on Telus’s part and feels like the back end of scam to me. Not bitter, since I already have a Archos unit that works great, but it’s crappy to release something like this info to the general public, and then have zero stock in your stores.

I got one on Friday at 149.99 from Bureauengros (Staples)… They matched the price! At 150$ it’s a great tablet! Now in a few days the new OS!!! If it doesn’t meet the expectations (the new OS I mean) then I will root it and get the Android Market. By the way, it dissapeared from the Telus website. I guess it is sold out already.
