Pre for $150 to new customers at The (Radio)Shack this weekend

If you still have a hankerin’ for a Palm Pre, you’re in luck. Newly rebranded, The Shack (formerly known as RadioShack) will have the Pre discounted $50 this weekend as part of their rebranding celebration [noise warning]. That brings the price of a new Pre down to $149.99, though the sale price is only good for new Sprint customers, current subscriber two-year-upgraders will have to plop down $219.99 for a Pre from the Shack, a $20 premium over what you’d pay dealing directly with Sprint. The sale will run through this weekend only (August 7-9), and as always, requires at minimum a Sprint Everything Data plan.  [via PreThinking]

The Shack is not alone in the Palm Pre deals game. Online cell phone retailer Wirefly has a permanently discounted price on their Pre phones: $169.99 for new Sprint customers. Two-year upgrade customers will find themselves paying  $200, while those looking to purchase off-contract will have to fork over a hefty $799.99. Ouch. At least Wirefly offers free shipping.
