Does anyone know exactly what we get with a Nexus 7 pre-order, and if this only applies to Play Store orders?
So far, I know we get this:
1. $25 Play store credit
2. Transformers: Dark of the Moon full movie
3. Bourne Dominion Book
4. Several magazine issues (which magazines?)
5. Anything else?
If this is only for Play store orders, then it would greatly justify paying extra for shipping instead of trying to buy somewhere else

Just the $25 credits or everything?
If everything, I'll wait for Gamestop to sells it.... No need to pay $15 for shipping.
I didnt even know we were getting all this stuff. Cool!

Is it actual magazine subscriptions? I thought it was just a few free magazines you could download.
What I wanna know is if the 25 goes to the account you buy with, the one you put on it or do they give u a card

You are aware its not hard setting up Google music for in the UK aren't you? You can't buy tracks or albums but the upload and streaming your music works just fine! Google it, it took me 5 mins once I'd tunnelled a US ip address.
Google certainly should have included "Blade Runner" in addition to or instead of "Transformers".
The Nexus 7 Android whose mission it is to kill Rogue Androids... That would have been a whoot!
Since you get a permanent copy of Transformers, I wonder if they will release the ability to purchase movies when the Nexus 7 ships.

You can purchase movies and tv shows now. Just buy them from the play store on your pc and you can watch them on your android device. All content will show up in the Google Movies app once you purchase something.

All freebies are pre installed ON THE DEVICE and it doesn't matter where you buy it from (hell I doubt Google will stop offering them even after the pre order)
They are all assigned to the first Google account you sign in with

Long story short. It's very big in Europe and it's finally in the U.S. because they have to deal with record labels and things like that. You get to stream music from them, and it's pretty much amazing. Also allows syncing to your Android device.

Anyone have luck with caching for offline play with 4g. I can stream fine with 4g but it wont download for offline play when I select a playlist in the offline playlist editor. Works fine over 3g but is uselessly slow doing that.

I disagree. With Spotify you have nearly any album at your disposal. Can cache up to like 3,333 songs for offline play. For me this beats the hell out of wasting disc space maintaining a collection and in turn actually making the artists some money. I canceled my Slacker account. They had on demand too but their cache process sucked, the app sucked, and the library smaller. The Spotify app and service blows it away. $10 a month is nothing if you listen to a lot of music. I've had it 3 days now and have already listened to about 20 different albums straight through. Pays for itself even if you listen to only 1 album a month.

wiithepeng is correct, once you get the email saying that you got the credit then the play store will automatically use your credits when you go to purchase something. Pretty straight forward... I still have a little more to spend :highfive:

Issues I have experienced are the screen flicker and screen lift. Doing the glue fix temporarily did the job, but after a few days it lifted again. Thinking of having this checked at by ASUS, but I want to DIY fix it first (more fulfilling).
The thing is that I haven't really played much with it but so far so good no lift issues or anything. It's pretty handy though. I'm loving my collection of nexus devices

You get free Google Play stuff when you buy a Nexus from Google Play
I was playing around w/my phone and came across the Google Play app. I was like "oh s#%t! I can watch Transformers for free!? Cool.." The next day I was on my laptop surfing youtube when I noticed "1 Purchase" under my account. I clicked on the link and said "WTF! I didn't pay $19.99 to see Transformers: Dark of the Moon!" I then went to my Google Play account history and saw that the movie was free lol.

Is this phones from Google or T-Mobile? Because mines from tmobile and I don't have anything free.. Damn it, sorry just saw the above post of Google play

I know I paid £100 more than I needed to but the google play site says shipping starts in 7 weeks, really didn't want to wait that long and it's still not bad compared to other phones on the market. Overall I'm a VERY happy Nexus Owner (nexus 7 32GB and Nexus 4 16GB)
