The BB Playbook firesale saga is still on. When it came out, it was a somewhat reasonable $500 (or something like that) given that many tablets (i.e., iPad) were around that price. But then the prices started sinking like a cannonball – $250, $200, $150, how low can it go?? This weekend we have it at $118 at Walmart and $99 at Staples.
It’s so low, that I want to buy one. You might think that is a natural response, but I received a free one awhile ago (for submitting a BB app) and then promptly gave it away. Yet, I feel like I need to take advantage of the Staples’ price on the Playbook and buy one – it’s 80% off!
I guess my instinct is that I don’t expect the Playbook to get any cheaper – although I’ve seen Chinese 7″ tablets with last generation (or maybe 2 generation old) technology go for USD$60 shipped. But at that point, I think RIM would be taking a total loss on it in order to convince retailers to sell the Playbook.
