[RIM EMPLOYEE PRICING] PlayBooks for $99, $149, $199 (16GB, 32GB, 64GB)

RIM employees were given a pretty sweet employee pricing deal. With 5 PB per employee.

Update: 16GB and 64GB are reportedly all sold out.

Selling prices:

16GB Playbook for $99
32GB Playbook with HDMI cable for $149
64GB Playbook with HDMI cable and Convertible Case for $199

There are shipping, taxes, and other charges (not sure) on top of these prices.

Limit is 5 per employee.

PS Couldn't figure out how to notify the CrackBerry staff. Usually I just send stuff to MobileSyrup through a "Contact us" link.

is this confirmed for all rim employees?

Not confirmed. Call up a RIM employee you know and try your luck.

My hunch says it is.

Yes it is confirmed. I got 2 64's and 1 16 GB.

Is there non emplowees can get this deal?

dont forget to cover the employee's taxable benefit cost...approx $45

then there's the shipping cost too

I can confirm that those are indeed the prices... I am not a RIM employee, but my friend is.. I picked up (through him) 3 16GB ones for Christmas presents

Those are amazing prices! Unfortunately I asked my friends who are on co-op internships and the deal is only available to full time employees. Looks like I'll have to pick one up from Best Buy...

I had on order since Monday last week with shopblackberry.com a 16g Playbook.
Just got home and been delivered today a 32g for the same price. Crazy could not get one at BestBuy/FutureShop etc. and end up with a bigger capacity book. I am very happy!:)
