BlackBerry PlayBook gets big discount from Best Buy

Good news for those of you looking to grab RIM’s first tablet, BlackBerry PlayBook. Thanks to Best Buy you can get the 7-inch device for up to $150 off.

The 16GB and 32GB versions are now available for $50 less – $449.99 and $549.99, respectively. The best deal, however, is when you grab PlayBook with 64GB of built-in storage – it too (like the 16GB version) costs $549.99, which is $150 off of its regular price.

As far as I can tell, buying the BlackBerry tablet doesn’t make much sense these days, especially when we know that the same money gets you an Android-based device or the Apple iPad. Then again, that’s just me. If you disagree – you can check out Best Buy’s PlayBook offer from this page.

    And especially when you can get the Touchpad, the tablet that has the OS that RIM blatantly ripped off in the Playbook, for much cheaper on eBay.

    $350 and I’d buy one.  Like the size, don’t need the price.
