TORONTO - Canadian retailers are again selling off Research in Motion's (TSX:RIM.TO - News) PlayBook tablets at massive discounts and shoppers seem to be eagerly snapping them up.
Best Buy, Future Shop, Sears, The Source and Walmart are among the stores selling the tablets at $300 off, making the cheapest 16-gigabyte model about $200. The 32GB PlayBook is $300 and the 64GB model is $400.
It's not the first time PlayBooks have been heavily discounted but shoppers are really responding to this promotion, said Derek Szeto of the bargain-hunting website Redflagdeals.com, which attracts 2.5 million readers monthly.
"It's been crazy popular, at $200 I think the value is pretty incredible," said Szeto, noting that a post about the sale had amassed nearly 3,000 replies and 333,000 views by midday Friday.
