Black Friday is upon us, and if you aren’t already knee-deep in the sales, let us help you out.
BlackBerry devices are on sale across the board, but the big one is the $200 16 GB BlackBerry PlayBook sale. That’s been going for a few weeks now, so stock might be tricky, but right now the best bet is to mail order it direct from RIM at ShopBlackBerry.com. Apply the coupon code “09OLTY12″, and you can even knock another $10 off. Of course, brick-and-mortar retailers are selling the $200 PlayBook too, and I’ve even heard from a friend who bought one on Bell before the sale went on, and he got reimbursed $300. Even if stores are out of stock, higher-capacity models are going for pretty reasonable prices ($299 for 32 GB, $399 for 64 GB). Here’s a full list and links to where you can pick up cheap PlayBooks. Retail stores are running these sales until December 3, but Sprint’s sale is over on November 27 – it’s probably safe to assume most carriers are in the same boat.
- Best Buy
- Walmart (only 32 GB and 64 GB being listed)
- Staples (only 64 GB being listed)
- Office Depot
- OfficeMax (only 32 GB being listed)
- Sprint
- Telus
