    I have been looking to purchase a Blackberry Playbook and would like to know that I am getting the best deal.

    Sprint, Best Buy, Office Depot, Office Max and Staples are all selling the 16 GB Playbook for $499.

    Walmart is only taking a dollar off for $498.

    Can a better deal be had today?

    I wonder if Best Buy will honor the Staples coupon in addition to their price reduction? Or if Staples will match Best Buy's lower price then take off the $100?

    Compared to Canada, you usually get the deals. Staples up here doesn't have the $100 off.

    I would look at craigslist and kijiji, it's where I got my 64GB for $500. Sealed.

    Just be smart about, open it before handing the cash over and meet up at malls or coffee shops.

    Jonathan, unfortunately none of them ship insternational(if that was the case I would buy regular)., Where are you located? You could always use something called forwarding address in USA, the courier company collects it, ships it off to your country - Long procedure but it can be done. I actually bought a grey import and it was a bargain, brand new paid $500 pb 16gb, also check your local "Gumtree" or auction websites, u might pick it up for the same.

    That would indeed be too much trouble, thanks for the heads up though. I saw one on Ebay for 399 + about $45 shipping. Can't get it much sharper than that I suppose.
