I am constantly finding great deals on tablets, so I thought I'd start a thread here on it.

Know any good deals? Post them here.

This one, as posted in the thread that gave me the idea, was just announced 2 days ago.
This is what I would get if I didn't JUST get a refurb'ed one for $200 just about 6 weeks ago.

Costco Drops Price on Toshiba Excite 10 ICS Tab to a 'Game-Changing' $300 Until Dec 1

$300, Quad Core, 10"..... this thing is a monster....

Another quality tablet, new from BestBuy for $300.
It's about time that larger tablets started hitting that $300 pricepoint.

How does their retail price compare to others?
The 8gb version in Amazon is $160 and from the RS website it's $200.
So using the coupon still is $10 more.

Could you provide a link to the coupon offer for details??

Wow, Katie, no need to be rude.

Ed, the 8GB version you are seeing is for the Original Kindle Fire, not the newer HD ones.
So the HD version is $199 at Amazon and at RS (with sponsored ads, $214 without).

Woot has a great deal today only.
So good, I actually just bought one.

The Asus Transformer TF300T, refurb, for $299. Includes the Keyboard Docking Station.
Full retail for both is $500.
The best price I have found for both is $449.
I didn't even want the dock, and the best price new I have seen this tablet was at Wal-Mart one day only (yesterday) for $319. Today, $349.

So $50 less then a new one with the $100/$150 dock. It's an Asus refurb, too. I'd never buy a 3rd party refurb.

BlackckBerry 64GB PlayBook with Wi-Fi for 214.99-$218.00 with the new updates and 2,0 OSx along with it being secure connection at all times no aps needed where android and apple are open to data a and id theft from since they are not secuure Remeber these were built for U.S. Govronment specs to be oktested and ok for use due to it being a secure platform and now it has acess to android apps so it is the bang for the buck over looked product.
  • Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
  • 64 GB Built-in Memory
  • Operating System - Blackberry Tablet OS (QNX)
  • Virtual QWERTY Keyboard
  • Mobile Email
  • Camera Features: 5 MP High Definition (Back Facing); 3 MP High Definition (Front Facing)
  • Display Resolution - 1024 x 600
  • Display Size - 7"

Because BlackBerry Bridge accesses mail, calendar, and contacts directly from a tethered BlackBerry phone, the PlayBook meets the same encryption standards as the BlackBerry phone. It is the first (and as of September 2012, the only) tablet device to receive FIPS 140-2 certification, which makes it eligible for use by U.S. federal government agencies. In addition the Australian government also approved the use of PlayBook as the only tablet that meets its security standard.
