office depot and target were also having sales. Its going to be extremely tough to get one online. you will have to follow slickdeals like hawk.
I did slickdeals last night as well
$100 on hp.com + a 15% coupon + tax = $90 for a tablet.
I'll say this much: the official sale wasn't suppose to start until today (rumor at 7AM), but it went sorta-live last night at hp's website (you had to do a few random things to get it to show the price). Anyway, at this point in the day, look in physical stores. On-line is sold out everywhere: Staples, Office Depot, BestBuy, I believe Wal-Mart, HP.com, etc. Amazon, weirdly, still has them in stock, but hasn't dropped the price.
I have a PlayBook, but at $90 for a Wi-Fi tablet that's actually pretty decent? Couldn't pass it up
It's basically sold out online from any place selling for $99. It went live last night and Slickdeals had a thread about it that got posted to a bunch of tech news sites so word spread extremely fast. Thread got over a million views in a couple hours, and websites selling the Touchpad either sold out or crashed from all the traffic. Best bet is to call local stores and see if they have any in stock.
I went to buy the playbook on launch day.... there was me and 2 other guys at the yonge/dundas futureshop... globeandmail was there and they left before we even went inside, not even media worthy
today... wow there was a lineup, so big people were asking as they walk by if the next iPhone is out or something...
anyway, i'm starting the tablet... really see how this pairs up with the playbook :3 one thing so far, I do not like the size and weight.
I was in Office Depot today and the guy laughed at me when I asked if they had any left. I'm going to pick up two Toshiba Thrives this week, but I totally would have bought one of the HP's at $129, just because...lol!

Have had some time to play with it and its a pretty slick device... not sure why it got such scathing reviews... granted I've already OC'd it so it runs smooth, but overall I'm fairly impressed
I ordered a 16GB from bestbuy.com early this morning for $99. I couldn't turn down that price. I'm going to download the Playbook wallpapers, squint and pretend it's a 10" prototype.
i ordered it yesterday at a local HH gregg store.... it was still posted there for 400 but they didn't even have it in stock.... i was pissed... so i talked to the guy and he ordered me one and he price-matched it.......should be here withing a couple of days
