Target $399 + $50 gift card
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have next weeks sales flyer. Starting tomorrow (Sunday 7-17-11) Target is selling the A500 16gb for $399 + a $50 gift card *while supplies last.
If my math is correct that is like getting the A500 for $349 .
Best Buy and Staples both advertise the "new low price" as $399.99 starting tomorrow.
I think we are going to be seeing many more Acer A500 owners

Yep Which means this place is going to be flooded with "where's my 3.1?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" posts very soon unless they become more timely for folks.
Boy oh boy.
What Acer needs to do is drop an update file with explicit instructions on their site so people can update themselves. I believe they will do this eventually, I think there just needs to be incremental ones before the most recent one which is why people are getting them that way for now. They'll probably move to a build that doesn't require piece updates hopefully.
Of course, it's still not a win situation because you know some idiot is going to do it wrong and come here wanting to sue Acer or going overboard as usual (even though it's their fault).
Bought mine from Target on June 24th for $487 after tax. Called today to see if they would give me difference on price drop, they said only if bought less than two weeks ago.
I went to Target prepared to return and go to WalMart and by another one, but Target said I could return and then buy my same tablet back at new price, $432 after tax. So I didn't have to mess with setting up a new tablet and messing with regetting 3.1.
They didn't say anything about a $50 card but I'm happy with the $55 savings. I love the A500.

Refurbs availalable starting 12/11 at 7pm eastern time on Ebay. 16gb for $99 and 32GB for $150. I don't know how many they will have but it is a limit of 2 per ebay ID.
Sounds great. I just hope that those of us that missed the last sale will be able to somehow get one this round. Not to be too pessimistic but I imagine they sell out in a matter of minutes.
The comments are pretty funny if one follows the link. A few guys start discussign how the all have failed based on game theory.
I wonder if ill beable to get one..

Good thing I got one a while back. Gonna try to grab another one.
Will they be shipping internationally to India?
This is a bit late, but I've been kicking myself since Black Friday, as I set my wife up on two machines and myself on two machines to pick up the Thrive 8GB for $199.
She managed to get one, but for me, it stalled when loading the CC page, hung and eventually let me buy it, only to see an out of stock email about 15 minutes later...
I'm trying to see how many thrives were out there? Looked on fatwallet and the ultra secret black friday sale thread jokingly said there were only 5. If so, I don't feel so bad
So if you're one of the lucky few or know of someone that was, please tell, to help my bruised ego
P.S. Love dalepi's ROMs
Well, thank you. It is an honor to have a Senior Mod say that.
I didnt get that one...but did manage to get a Toshiba Thrive 8gb for my son for Christmas ...Black Friday at Best buy. But it was 279.00. I was kind of disappointed at the 8gb...but I felt the price was decent. I bought one for myself too!
I too missed out on the NewEgg deal, but picked one up from amazon for the same price around 5pm on BF.
Hopefully there are more of us on here.
I got one from Newegg for $199.
was trying to snag one up for my mother, I do hope there was only 5 in stock, that way i dont feel bad for not getting one.
Unfortunately I didnt. I too bought it from best buy. I was able to nab one when the workers told me that they didnt have any asus and for awhile said they had no thrives. Makes me believe they hid a few for themselves. I dont need 8gb and love the full hdmi and usb. I just use it for a media center and browsing online with some other apps. All in all i love it.

I've got one of the Newegg 8gb models. I had my eye on the Thrive for a while - so when doing Black Friday stuff I saw it go up on fatwallet - I camped out in front of the PC for it.
Basically I made sure my newegg account was logged in, made sure my shipping/CC info was ready to go, and got ready. It was basically click-click-click-click-stupid Mastercard verification-click.
Have you seen this price?
Best price I have seen for the 32G and also the dock.
Best Buy will also price match.

I picked mine up at Best Buy for $350. Blue. Amazon has the dock for $128.
Man you guys got your Tf300T's pretty cheap. I got mine at Singapore when it first came out. Costed me roughly $580 for the tablet and the dock
That is an awesome price, holy cow! I got mine from Best Buy for I think $380 for the Tablet and $110 for the dock, but that was after my employee discount. I will ask my manager tomorrow if they can price match AND apply the discount, that would be swwwweeeeet!
Thanks for posting this
Does best buy even offer price matching? I tried to talk the salesman about how it's on Amazon, newegg and other websites cheaper but he didn't seem to know anything and I just picked it up for their price. Didn't want to wait and possibly pay for shipping. I will look for deals on the keyboard dock though. That I can wait a bit on.
Price Match
Print the add (posted above) or hard copy from the paper. Go to the Best Buy help desk and tell them you just bought this and Office Max now has it for <$
If you have a Best Buy in town you must have an Office Max, even if the Office Max does not have them in the store they offer ship to store for free.
Now go and save some bucks. Also, go to Best Buy website and print their Price Match Guarantee (have it in your hands to read) they know about it. Staples will also match it.
Good luck
I'm getting mine Thursday (32gb with the dock) for £360.
lol

I stumbled upon this deal this morning while researching tables. I was going to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 until I read the Engadget and CNet reviews. Found out this one is much better. I was at work and called the store to have them hold one for me this I got off work. When I got there they told me that I got the last one and other customers were upset that I has one on hold.
Anyway, I go mine for $377.11 with tax and the keyboard dock for $107.74 with tax. The didn't have the keyboard dock so it is be shipped from another store. I should have it with two or three days.
Hey I just want to thank the OP for this. I printed out the ad, took it to Best Buy, and got $54.25 back. Needed the money too. Thanks
Yeah, just my two cents - I too price matched with Best Buy (my brother visiting from Ireland had bought this at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago). I ended up buying it myself from officemax and then we price matched his at best buy! They were all confused as honestly, I don't think anyone ever takes them up on their offer! But $54 is $54!! ;-)
Office Max TF300t Dock
Appears that Office Max has pulled the TF300t Dock from their web site. Sold out!
At that price I can see why. But not sure why they can't offfer a raincheck. If they did not do their research on what a good deal this was then shame on them. They knew it because of the way they presented it in their flyer. Best Buy had thousand of back orders at Christmas on the TF201 and honored them all. Even gave free docking stations based on the lack of Christmas delivery. Guys argue and hold them to it!
I got the tablet and dock at Best Buy yesterday. They matched the tablet since in stock in local stores, but would not match the keyboard. I went ahead and also got the keyboard from Best Buy hoping the keyboard would be in stock this week at OM to price match.
Then I decided to go ahead and order the keyboard from OM yesterday, since expected them to run out and not get any in store this week.
The dock shipped last night and I will take the other dock back to BB when I get it. Total price for tablet and dock was same price as the A510 and Excite.
just bought my tpad tf300t for $320 at my local best buy! It was a must but when i saw it. The device was pre owned and the box was opened but everything else wasnt touched at all. the device wasnt even turned on.
I keep looking for open box but none around me have any
There will be a tablet and dock in Kentucky tomorrow if my dock is dead and the tablet almost dead while left in sleep mode again. I have had this happen twice in a row and both times the device was restarted, no third party apps used and push notifications disabled.
Shame since got both for $450, but usless to me if the dock and tablet do not behave well together. I have not rooted, so a stock device should not be doing this.
The Excite also had a battery bleed issue while asleep, but 12%, not almost the whole thing (dock too). The A510 did not have the problem, but gets too hot during use.

I may end up using my View as my main Android tabby and the iPad 3 for everything else. Bummer.
You think when trying to price match color model matters. Black BA white ...

Haha, yes. I called best buy to see if they would price match a white online one for a blue office max one and the answer was no.
Thanks for this thread & the information. I have done my research and am ready to pull the trigger on purchasing this TF300 tablet. A couple of questions:
I have a BestBuy in a local town about 20 minutes away from me and there is an OfficeMax in that same local. Online, the OfficeMax of course says "Backordered" in this particular store when I search for it. The BestBuy shows it in stock, however I haven't called them to verify yet.
I see BestBuy also has the 16gb model at a similar price to the 32gb that is on sale at OfficeMax.
Will they try to play this off as being that one and thus not be inclined to give me the "price match" offer?
Should I ask them over the phone about the "price match" when calling to verify they actually have the 32gb in stock before making the trip OR would it be best to just show up with the Ad?
Is a salesman the person I present the ad to OR should I just walk in and go to the customer service desk with it?
Sorry for the goofy questions, just trying to have both ores in the water so I have the best chance at getting this accomplished.
