Staples: BlackBerry PlayBook 16GB $99, 32GB $118

This deal has expired!

And there you have it! Finally, the BlackBerry PlayBook has reached a new low of $99 for the 16GB model and $118 for the 32GB variant over at Staples. Those of you interested in the RIM tablet will definitely want to head to your nearest location ASAP as quantities are now extremely limited.

While some didn't think the PlayBook would drop to TouchPad firesale pricing, the majority of would-be buyers held out and are now rewarded for their patience; if they can find one. Online availability won't be all that reliable so you'll want to call ahead and reserve the hardware if you're interested.

Thanks to Fantaz and Shawns13 for keeping an eye on this for us!

  For those having trouble finding the Playbook, Staples now has matched Playbook prices from Wal-Mart's anniversary sale:
  
  http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/ca...earch=playbook
  
  16GB = $99.00
  32Gb = $118.00
  64GB = $219.00

- You can technically get Walmart to match Staples price today (with printout) if you want to get it from Walmart early.

- The PB fire sale is a year late, but finally here... OOS online at Staples, but you can pre-order in-store at Staples (Thanks roadtoy).
  
  Everyone should be lowering price to $99. Amazing device to have at this price.'
  
  edit: added in-store preorders information

- Anyone have thoughts on whether to get the 16GB or 32GB? I already bought the 32GB from Staples, but I'm wondering if I should get the 16GB to save $20.

  Why not get FS and BB to PM instead for the extra 10%? Does WM give 10% of the difference too?

- Now i understand why Staples dropped price before anyone else. I was at staples on last sunday they tried calling few stores if they can find sealed unit of 16 or 32 GB for me . But none of the stores in area had a sealed unit (All open box).
  
  They dropped price so they can clear out Open box stock.

  nooooooooooo!
  
  All I need is one store in the middle of nowhere and then we can all price match it...
  
  I hope all retailers will match Staples $99 price to clear out also...

  Current version will play almost everything including mkv but it will not play AAC audio if that is the audio stream in the container (which is very common at least with HD rips). In these cases you will have to transcode the audio stream ahead of time.
