ASUS® Transformer Pad TF300 10.1" Tablet, 32GB, Blue and Blue with Dock @ Office Depot $325+tax PM's YMMV

Went to local Office Depot (many local locations and online in stock) with the $300 Office Max Tablet and $75 Best Buy ads. Manager looked up on line to verify the prices, obtained stocked items and approved PM. When through the check out process at the casher and another $50 automatic promotion was applied by cash redgister after the PM was approved ... $300+$75-$50=$325+tax.
I also had them scan my office depot rewards card for som additional bonus.

The main reson why I went to Office Depot in the first place with printed PM ads was the OfficeMax and BestBuy OOS. In the past I have found out that you are better off going to a competitor and PMing to avoid the OOS and the store to store hunt. Secondly it turns out that Office Depot had a $400-$50 promotion on the tablet which was a unexpected bonus after manager approved PM's authorized and walked away was added before my credit card swipe.

I see $50 diference online.

ASUS Transformer TF300 T-B1-BL 10.1-Inch 32 GB Tablet (Blue)
ASUS TF300T-A1-CG 10.1-Inch 16GB Tablet - Gold Edition

At a high level comparison one is blue with 32GB while the other is gold with 16GB.

This is a nice combo. I picked up a set during Black Friday for $299 at OD and the keyboard for $110 at Best Buy PM'd to Amazon. Best Buy later dropped their prices on the keyboard, and I got it pricematched. Somehow they screwed up the price match, and pricematched a camera on the same order to the keyboard price, so I got ~$100 back. I called to ask what was up, and they let that PM stand and pricematched the keyboard too for another $60 back. No wonder they can't make money?

Anyways, this series of tablets are pretty nice. The one achilles heel has to be the stuttering that is experienced sometimes due to the subpar slow storage that was used. The only way around that is to unlock the bootloader (voids warranty) and use something like CleanROM. It makes a night and day difference if you can do this.

As far as I can figure is the promotional discount was automatically taken off after the Manager's PM approval. I did notice that when I was reviewing the diplay tablet that there was a $400-$50 promotion which I figured was the source of the automatic discount.

Were you actually able to do this yesterday? Their new sales tend to start on Sundays and I'd like to grab one if it's still going this week.
