Trying to figure out. But if the credit card date is right, it sould be april.. We should really start using the months and days instead on numerical for everything!

This is a killer one!… It has free shipping to MEXICO!.. this is big for me. Here on best buy mexico it costs the equivalent of 800 USD. Man, I could start my own sale! I can make easy 300USD per playbook!

Last Thursday I ordered the 32GB for $249 and should get it the end of this week.
What did you mean by upgrading memory?

Excellent deals for sure. You’d be crazy not to grab the 64GB if you still need to pick up a PlayBook.

I tried to purchase the 64G playbook, but this price reduction seems to be for the us, as they dont have canada as an option, which is pretty upsetting considering I live 10 min away from where RIM is located in canada.

I’m a little concerned over how long the sale lasts. People are going to start to get the impression that the price should be that low and it may be harder to sell when the price goes back up – unless OS2 is absolutely phenomenal. From the beta, it’s good, but nothing earth-shattering. They will need something big to make people willing to go back to full price.

^ How about 3/4G, native pim apps, OS2.0 and just perhaps an updated PlayBook2. If all that comes with sweet new specs for pb2, Things like that will get ya back in the game.

Why is Canada not included in the great price sale? This sucks.

I just bought a basic 16Gb model for $195+taxes at Futureshop. Works great.
