I finally picked up my Space Gray iPad Air 2 64 GB today from Staples. I'm happy to report it has a production of July 2015 so it's only a couple months old not that it makes any difference. I'm so amazed I got this great of a deal on a 64 GB iPad.
Thats the same way that I saw it. I got a 6+ and rMB, I kept the iPad as a barely used 3rd device. My wife uses it more than me, but couldn't miss the iPad Air 2 deal
Agreed 100%. A store rep put me on hold for 11 minutes with my local Staples store, I thought that the rep forgot about me, so I called back, was on hold for another 15 minutes before someone picked up. I asked if they have the iPad, she told me which one (all while yelling at someone in the background), then told me they don't have the one I want. I jumped in the car, went to my local Best Buy (a bit further away) got the deal PM. Was in and out in 7 minutes. Thank you Staples for making this deal, but they have to better their customer service
Well after playing with my new iPad Air tonight the screen is breathtaking it's really amazing the laminated display is a must have feature. I looked at it side by side against my iPad mini 2 and the display is so much better on iPad Air 2. So happy and my screen looks perfect to me no defects. It came with 8.4 will update to 9.0 later. The speed is just crazy fast!!
Yes, mine is still processing and I purchased mine last night online. I'm nervous it will get cancelled now that they are showing out of stock.
This may not be the same at all Targets, and the stores may be catching on to Staples being out of stock, but...
You can still print out the weekly flier from Staples that shows the $150 discount. That's basically what I did. The Target price match policy states that they will price match discounts from local competitors if the customer brings in the flier that depicts the discount. Luckily, Staples has a digital version of their weekly flier on their website. I showed that to guest services and had no problems at all.
I asked the manager before opening and they told I could return opened. I bought before staples deal. I asked them for price match they refused so I ordered from staples. I still have to return opened iPad. If they will not let me return it as promised I will never set foot in target again!
I thought the same thing, was actually planning on going to Best Buy today but turns out mine shipped this morning. Checked the tracking and it's already out for delivery.
It's easy to always want the next iPad Air but if you have been playing with the competition tablets, you will find the Air 2 very cutting edge. As I write this, I am working in a split screen Safari/email while watching a HULU in PIP. I got three things going on seamlessly. To top it off, I am only loosing 7% of batty life per hour doing this. I am very happy with the Air 2.
That's encouraging. I am waiting for my online shipment and I am hoping its also a recent build.
Was kind of surprised I got Target to price match and it came out as built in September 2015. Can't get any fresher than that.
Still debating if I should keep it.

First of all, let me thank everyone for contributing to this thread. There's no way I would have known about this deal if I hadn't read it.
I had a mini 2 that I loved but that was beginning to show its age. I flipped it to someone for $180, then went to BB to see if they'd price match. At first the salesperson told me yes. Then the manager came by and said they would only price match if the item was in stock at staples, which of course it wasn't. I told him that I was informed they'd price match. "Who told you that?" "I did," the salesman said. The manager then said "Okay, since he told you that initially we'll honor it, but in the future the item needs to be in stock."
So I'm now the happy owner of a silver Air 2 16gb (I only use the iPad to surf and stream) for essentially less than $200. It's fantastic, especially on ios9. Just the fact that I can have multiple safari tabs open without reloads is great (my mini could do no more than two).

So the Staples discount is now down to $40.00? http://www.staples.com/ipad+air+2/directory_ipad+air+2?autocompletesearchkey=ipad+air+2
