    Looks like Wal-Mart made a small mistake in this week's flyer. Wonder if I could argue to get a Playbook for that price :

    Except that if you look at the above part of the add your scan half cut off you'd see that the blackberry playbook, normally $498, is on sale for $468

    WalMart fail...
    But you know something? Sadly, most people won't notice the difference :S
    This just proves the playbook is not as recognizable to average people as it could be

    Like f1mx specified, the 498/468$ price is for the notebook. Not the Tablet, as the 188$ price really is designated for a tablet (Next6, whatever that is xD), however, has a picture of a Playbook in it's place.

    You can try, but usually there is fine print stating that they aren't reponsibile for typos. They may have a sign up in the electronics department stating that it was a typo as well. We're talking about Walmart here and they don't like to take a loss on anything, lol.

    ...except, of course, that the playbook is $498 regularly as stated on the add, the rollbox price is beside both the laptop and the tablet, and flyers do tend to group similar products on sale for the same price together to save space.

    Actually, if you look at the format of the entire page. All product description are in an L shape with the image of the product on the inside with the description around it.

    The problem here isn't the wrong price on a Playbook, the real mistake is them putting the picture of a Playbook where it doesn't belong and where the picture of a Next3 tablet should be.
