In a clearance sale initiated on Wednesday, Best Buy has cut third-generation iPad with Retina display pricing by 30 percent with prices starting at $315 for a 16GB model with Wi-Fi, while MacMall is offering savings on the newest full-size iPad and iPad mini.
Best Buy's computer clearance iPad pricing.
Best Buy is offering a number of deals, topping out with price drops of $234 for a top-of-the-line 64GB third-generation iPad with cellular connectivity.
With the introduction of the refreshed fourth-generation iPad in October, the previous models saw a slight discount to clear supply channels. Besides the A6X SoC and Lightning connector, the iPad 4 went largely unchanged from the previous version, making the third-gen iPad a great value.

You guys are idiots. Post when they were available. They are all out of stock all over the US since days/weeks!
iPad 3 for $315 is a very nice price. I bet that it won't take long before whatever stock that they have is all sold out.
Why do you think the price is so low?
A retailer can offer a really attractive price on items that aren't in stock - it doesn't cost them anything, but draws people into the store.
32GB White WiFi AT&T $429.00
32GB Black WiFi AT&T $559.00
Seriously?! Black commands $130 premium??
Looks like an error which has been fixed. The prices are right now ($429 for each of them).
Yep!
It will be interesting to see what we get. I'm really hoping for a doubling of performance to iron out the last bit of sluggishness. More so I'm wondering if it will come with the new spin of iOS or is we will have to wait until fall for that.

Is it overly optimistic to think that a mini-style full size iPad and/or a retina mini could be imminent?
Too soon for iOS 7, iOS 7 beta isn't even out yet, dev beta of iOS 7 prolly be introduced at WWDC in June and a fall launch
$700, or 66800yen, for the 128GB iPad (wifi model) at Yodobashi or Bic Camera in Japan. It's over $150 cheaper there than in the US! While I was in Japan a few weeks ago I saw that price and snagged one right away. How can the iPad be so much cheaper in Japan?

In fact, it already came out a few months ago.
How the heck are they still selling the third-gen? I had to check dates on this thread to make sure it hadn't been bumped.
All gone in SF area. It's for store pick up only and all of the stores in SF area showed UNAVAILABLE.
I smell a major refresh, as much as I dislike Apple I have to give them props for hype and rumors.
