    I bought it off of eBay for $240 shipped.

    Unforutantely I don't live in the Irving, TX area so I missed out on the $199 64GB blow out deal. And Black Friday wasn't an option as I don't want to wait in line at Staples at Midnight (I only get to see my family twice a year, and I don't wanna spend that time away from them waiting in line to save $30), nor will I not have time during the day on Friday.

    I'm pretty pleased that I essentially got it at half-off. Then again, I'm not really paying for it as I have been gifted a $250 Visa gift card.

    Now it's the waiting game... Hopefully the seller ships out immediately; eBay estimates arrival by the 22nd or 23rd. Can't wait til I get it! I'm excited to say the least. Now I just have to make sure I get the latest update before 2.0 beta.

    Why would you do this to yourself more than once?

    Oh you'll love it.
    I am glad more and more people are trying out PB themselves rather than going by cold reviews.
    PB is Simply superb.
    btw i am new to crackberry, my first reply.
    I also bought myself a 16Gb playbook, recently.
    i am content. even though friends forced me to buy an ipad2, i stick to our good old blackberry. and now they are jealous.

    No doubt than you're going to love your PB.

    My advice is always for phones as well for the PB: Stay away from beta / trial OSses.

    The bridge feture is awesome!

    And...ofcourse...welcome to the world of real tablets!

    Picked mine up a few days ago as well. It really is very nice. Love the UI. And I have high hopes they keep improving it.

    And apps. Needs more lol! Ive been an Android nerd for a while now (had a storm & 9700 before going Android) and you're really spoiled over there compared to whats available on the Playbook. But hoping things will change going forward

    You will definitely enjoy the PB.
    In regards to the OS (assuming this is a BNIB) unit, it will update to the most current OS after powering up, as you go through the settings config.

    Congrats!

    I received quite a few PMs yesterday asking for PBs, but unfortunately was stuck at work until after 5pm. I did swing by the same Best Buy on the way home and they were sold out (they only had 7 left after I purchased mine yesterday morning).

    But - I did hear that one of my co-workers bought three to sell on ebay, maybe you got one of his?

    Either way - hope you enjoy yours!

    No problemo, I figured you were either at work or too busy playing with your new toy


    I bought the 16GB model, so I don't think it was one of his.
