Today, Best Buy revealed their 2013 Black Friday sales items and, as reported by
BFAds.net, the 32GB Surface tablet, previously known as Surface RT, will be
priced at just $199.99. This is the lowest price we have seen for a Surface tablet that is going to be made available to the general public. Microsoft did sell a 64GB Surface RT tablet to TechEd attendees earlier this year for $99. Even though the sales period is called "Black Friday", many retailers in the U.S. will actually begin their sales period on Thanksgiving Day, November 28th. That includes Best Buy, which will have most of its stores open.
Well, if this were the original price last year, these things would have been popular. Personally I will wait till the new surface goes down to $200 :-)
