Well, I picked up my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for $90 on contract on release day. I also got my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II for $37 back in February. I got the iPhone 5s for $70 a few weeks ago. I got the rezound within 2 weeks of release for $50 (retail price was $300 on contract). You never know when a sale would come up, so keep your eyes peeled. Keep in mind these prices are usually short lived promotions.

I hope the big box stores don't drop the price. The perceived value of any device drops with its price. As others have said, look for coupons/deals. Bestbuy had it for $100 off a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it was a two day sale, but it was mighty nice.
