I just saw the post on the front page that playbooks were $149...

I called three stores in Toronto and they all told me that EVERYONE was sold out and that they were actually $299. Does anyone know what the problem is? Was it bad info on CBs part...

I would NOT MIND getting a 64gb for $149 (which seems to be the case based on the article picture)

[drummer_god]

keep calling around.
i found 1 here in London that says they have some in stock. i plan on going first thing in the morning to try to grab 3 32GB playbooks.

I called various Telus stores in Toronto and non in stock!

but are they $149? all the reps in Toronto said they are $299
how can i get it for $149 if the price on the computer says $299?

Also, would we be able to price match this???

From what I read they are $149 for 16GB and 32GB. The 64GB is not $149 but I could be wrong.

yeah someone got an official link so i can get this price matched?

Damn, i did a forum search for telus but not 149 bc i knew that i would get a lot of hits for the 16gb at 149. o well.

The sale doesn't start until February 3 according to that photo on the CrackBerry article. And it is hard to see, but I think it may say "TENTATIVE DATE: February 3 - 9"

So it probably isn't in their system yet, and .... it might be..... TENTATIVE

I'd keep checking tomorrow though - the local sales reps might catch wind of this, and have updated prices in their system.

exactly... i know walmart and other stores like BB and FS have them in stock.

agreed... i just want to make sure i get this first so they dont sell out.

if they change this to the website then price matching should not be a problem.

Sale starts tomorrow. FEB.3
According to peeps at RFD most are buying today to return for discount tomorrow.
Not sure if stores would price match since it says while "quantities last"

[FSeverino]

but how can they have a sale if they are already out of stock?

[balding1]

but how can they have a sale if they are already out of stock?

By putting while "quantities last" in the ad.
It's the peeps buying them up a day early to return for sale price.
Even peeps buying them through their Teamwebstore but you need E-mail and password to login.
Sounds like it might be another IBM promo code story.lol

In that case, if i were telus i WOULDNT have the sale and keep everyone at that price and make them go through the hassle of returning the item... them have the sale the day after the 30 day return period. lol

ill check tomorrow though.

It starts tomorrow confirmed! Currently system shows $299. Will be updated in the morning. Note 64GB is not at $149

[MrHelyar]

If this sale is true I might just decide to buy myself a second 32gb one. 149... you just can't go wrong.

Do you know what the 64gb is at?

why would the 16 and 32 be 149?

[teeuwen]

Funny thing is, I called The Phone Experts here (which is a telus store carrier i guess its called?) anyways, they did have the Price as $149.00 for both the 16gig and the 32gig, but they didnt show any stock in alberta....

weird indeed!
