A leaked Black Friday ad for Best Buy has surfaced on BFads.net, and one particular deal stands out among the many to be had: an Asus Transformer 16GB (Wi-Fi) for just $250. Despite the fact that it's getting a bit long in the tooth by now (having been launched on March 30) and its successor is right around the corner, the Transformer is still a hell of a tablet and, at $250, is an absolute steal. Even better: the keyboard dock is going to be $100.

    Notice though that it's with the purchase and 2 year activation of a Verizon Hotspot. At least that's the case for the Thrive. I picked one up with case on HSN yesterday for $329.

          For the Thrive, you mean? I think that's an ADDITIONAL $100.

        • RBI411

          Saw that. Don't think it applies to the Transformer. But what do I know?

        • Stacey

          You might be right, if it's an additional that's amazing!

        • Tu Vu

          That's wifi version. There is no way they are going to force you to do contract with wifi version lol

      That was a completely separate offer/package. I was able to (stand in line, get a "ticket*" for and) buy my Transformer with only a half-hearted upsell for a Best Buy warranty.

      * A ticket being an 8.5x11 sheet of paper with a description of the item on it.

      At the location I went to, they actually had more Transformers than initially needed - I noticed at least one Transformer ticket laying on the ground as midnight approached.

    Why no Black Friday in the UK :( :( :(

    • Rob

      Amazon are having a Black Friday deal for about a week starting on the 21 over here actually. Let's hope there's some cheap Android goodness there.

  • ron

    Nice deal, but with tax and shipping, you can buy a good unit on Amazon right now for essentially the same price. And many come with screen protectors and cases. I have a TF now, and am waiting for the TF2 - this one goes to my father.

    • James

      Huh? An ASUS Transformer on Amazon for $250?

    • Bookworm

    • ahecht

      No, it doesn't. The connector is in a different location.

  • smallet

    • Jon

      IT won't last long. You'll probably ahve to be the first few in line.

      • George C

        This was the case, while in stock, I was maybe 250th-ish in line, and people had taken all the vouchers for the 250 dollar price. Saw one asshole for six of them.

    Got to the nearest Best Buy at quarter of six AM. They started with 10 of them, I was buying #7, and the guy behind me in line was buying #8. $250 is a hard to turn down price point, especially for a machine that is so much better than the Fire or the Nook.

  • Bookworm

    I got it and Im using it right now. I was #7 too.
