PM at FS (in stock online at $449.99). Would bring cost of the machine to $229!! Should be an easy PM as web codes are the same.

This is a superior and cheaper machine than the one posted by OP:
- faster processor
- faster RAM
- Intel HD 4000 video (not HD3000 like other)
- 2 USB 3.0 ports (none on other)
- bigger battery

EDIT: Must have been only a few in stock at BB as this sold out within minutes. Still in stock at FS, worth a PM attempt
i just bought this for 379 with 5% off 1 week ago will they PM me for the 249 price + 5%?

I'd say buy this model for backup, it is good deal but the model P580 is much better and only at $249 (currently OOS). BB already restock this model P580 two times. So standby..
All the great info + tips + solutions (contributing from RFD community) for the P580 (V570) models is in this thread (you won't regret reading it :)

Just PM'd FS to BB's price, first the rep told me that since BB is OOS he cannot PM but I told him that some stores that I've called has stock(I didn't call..and just threw out random cities LOL) and he said Yup, I can verify it's in stock and he processed the PM!

This is for the P580!

Edit: Forgot to say thanks to jakemtl and cshan2! :D

Widely reported motherboard failures on the V570. Caveat emptor.

Thanks OP!!

I purchased the P580 2 weeks ago when it was selling for $379.99 at Best Buy. I was just within their 14 day return policy.

I called BB customer service and they processed a refund for $130+tax. Refund should take approximately 7-10 business days.

It seems like boxing week sale just happened. First the $325 Asus TF300T+Keyboard, then $300 Asus VivoTab RT, then $200 Toshiba AT300, and this $250 P580. I got that from FutureShop PMed for $362.99, and just got another PM done tonight for $238.69+tax.

You can't PM at futureshop if the item is OOS.

Price Protection with FS

Is it possible to get price protection if purchased at Future Shop?

How about with credit card company.....is it tough to do? I have Capital Aspire One Travel card with some good benefits.

Anyone with experience?

That's awesome. I phoned BB to price protect and was told no because their was no stock at bestbuy.ca. Reading so many people who have been successful in getting the price adjusted I was a little fumed at not getting the money back. So I phoned back hoping for more luck with another CSR.

Second CSR right away knew what I wanted, she said they've been getting calls all night for price adjustments and she was more than happy to adjust my price. Got my $130+tax back on my CC within 7 days.

So if anyone gets denied trying to get the lower price, phone back and try again with another CSR!

It's weird that they'd say no. By that logic I'd then threaten to go instore, return the item and repurchase it at the updated new price. Makes no sense that they'd refuse.

Good thing they finally budged :)

Just called BB and will be getting the $130+ credit in 7-10 days.
Nice and simple in about 3 minutes (on hold for 10 though).
