    PLTM,
    The 199 price is ridiculously cheap. I just downloaded 2.0 and this is the best tablet out there in my opinion.

    I've had minde from day one and it is just a rock solid as it was on day one. Awesome screen, speakers, processor, cameras. The Playbook is awesome and this price distortion is a rare opportunity in my view.
    In a few months or less the price will go back up and it will still be a good deal but not a crazy, out of this world steal.

    I actually believe this is the permanent price because before when they were on sale they would have the original price listed but strikethrough. They now have these new prices without any sale price tag on them.

    Really? Just 4 days ago, you wrote the following in another thread on this same topic:

    1. Buy a Playbook for 199.00. I may be wrong but I think we are unlikely to see this price again after Tuesday. I believe even the Kindle fire is a steal at 199 and the Playbook is far, far better IMO. so this price anomaly will go away
    (The entire thread available here:http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...1/#post7134843)

    So, you've gone from "deal ends Tuesday" to "deal ends in a few months or less" over the span of 4 days. Would you care to share what information you used to alter your conclusion?

    As of today PB is still $199 at Best Buy. Does anyone know if the price will go back up anytime soon? I mean will it go back up to $300 or more especially at brick and mortar stores?
    update: I just noticed Office Depot has the 16 gb model at $499.99, but Best Buy is still holding at $199.

    Same here. Love following Slickdeals on Twitter.

    Loving the 32gb also, it really is a great little tab.

    I just had an RMA today, in the Terms of Service, it still listed: 499/599/699.. Not sure if that's indicative or not of anything.
