BlackBerry PlayBook gets a $200 price cut, wants to replicate HP TouchPad's firesale success?

RIM's Blackberry PlayBook tablet hasn't exactly been a roaring success. Launched to tepid reviews earlier this year, the device isn't flying off the shelves as quick as the company would like. Now it seems retailers are cutting the price in an effort to shift units. Boy Genius Report says multiple retailers are now selling the PlayBook for less than the suggested retail price.
According to BGR, Staples and Office Depot have discounted the slate by a massive $200 in the form of $100 in instant savings and $100 in mail-in rebate. Best Buy is offering a similar deal, though it stipulates that the ‘sale' ends on October 6.
