I was going to mention that the Libra H2O is currently $180 Cdn while the Oasis 3 is $330 Cdn (8GB WiFi only) but it seems every time pricing is brought up, we get someone stating something to the effect that "Amazon always has sales and I got my Oasis 3 for $60 with trade ins and earnings on my Amazon credit card, etc.".

Much like the responses when $70 for "free WAN" is brought up. If McDonald's sold a Happy Meal for $3.29 Cdn and advertised "to add a free toy to your Happy Meal, pay $3.99 Cdn", I suspect we would not have the acceptance of paying for "free".
