Best Buy not listing Verizon or white iPads, prices of previous versions drop (Updated)

For some reason, Best Buy is only listing Black iPads and 3G iPads on AT&T on their site currently.  Hopefully this isn’t indicative of their opening day sales lineup and a symptom of not having got around to creating new part numbers yet.

At the same time, they are matching Apple’s iPad 1 price reductions:

Apple has refurbs for $50 less.

Update with Best Buy FAQ, below:

The all-new thinner and lighter design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It’s even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life. With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls, record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.

 

 

When will the iPad 2 be available at Best Buy?

5:00 p.m. local time on Friday, March 11th, 2011. In stores only.
