I have a feeling that the 32GB will hit that price again pretty soon (hopefully).
I got the protection plan at bestbuy since it's an on going thing for 3 years. Literally anything that can happen other than physical is covered. And if anything does happen, you'll be able to get a brand new one or if there isn't anymore transformers (ie: Transformer 2 is out) You'll be getting the transformer 2.
So if by chance the transformer gets bricked or something a few weeks after the transformer 2 is released. The replacement will be a transformer 2
