We have already reported on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition’s launch on August 19, but it looks like at least one lucky Android enthusiast was able to purchase the tablet ahead of the official launch.

Android Forums member jd78 has managed to grab the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition tablet via Best Buy for only $249 USD (200 EUR) outright.

Apparently, purchasing the tablet was very easy and didn’t require anything in particular, claims jd78. He saw the bundled device laying around inside the store’s cages and grabbed it as fast as he could. Then, he simply asked for the price and paid for it immediately.

We’re not sure whether this was a major mistake or the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition is now available for purchase for the general public. Check out the tablet’s unboxing video above, courtesy of jd78.
