I just pre-ordered my Nexus 7 today from gamestop for 249.99. Im in Wave 2, for those of you who also pre ordered what wave are you. Also if you pre-ordered from gamestop as I did the confirmed release date is August 7th
How do we tell?
Ordered mine on the 28th so should be the first wave.
Second the above, how can we tell?
Also does anyone know what countries and also what retailers are "releasing in waves"? I really hope PC World (UK) release them all at once because I ordered rather late.

well I went to the store to pre-order it. it should be on the receipt
Don't understand why people are pretty ordering anywhere else but play store.
You will get it first
I pre-ordered at my local Gamestop on 07/03/12 and my receipt does not say any date or info as to what wave my order is in.

Because I paid £189 delivered instead of £208 from Google.

Yeah I pre-ordered it pretty early (6/29) from GS too and my receipt says nothing about the wave I'm in
I don't buy the whole 'wave' thing for my gamestop. I live in a town of hicks and i'm pretty sure I'm one of about five people who pre ordered. They gave me the August arrival date though, which would suck major ass.

I did order from the Google PLay store, and it ended up being around $280 for the 16GB. I cancelled it and ordered it from J&R and am getting it for $234 shipped on top of a 5% Discover Card cashback, which will make it $222.30.
So will I get my Nexus7 a few days late? Maybe. But I got a 16GB one for $222.30.
Guy at Gamestop told me 7/31 or a few days before 7/31, but I'm not really sure they know the real date. All speculation I believe.
Without an official date from Google themselves, take what the gamestop reps tell you with a grain of salt. They don't know any more than anyone else.

And Google phone rep told me if you pre ordered before July 1st on the play store you are in the first wave and the second wave was August 7th. It's kinda funny they're like with a week to week and a half from shipping them and they still can't put a date on it rofl.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
I'm pretty sure the wave isn't by store it's the wave of release from the manufacturer.
Anyone who pre-ordered from the play store is in the "first wave" if you are ordering from a retailer you are in the "second wave"
I was told from Google rep they're preparing them in waves. Once that's done they're going to ship them all at once.

that's great news for those who ordered from Gamestop - specifically speaking, your local store. Too bad the same isn't reflected here in Australia for our local EBGames stores. Still showing up on the site as an estimated release date of 27/07/2012. Either way I'm sticking with my PlayStore order, as I'd assume would be arriving sooner than the 27th.

I pre-ordered last night at Gamestop and the manager told me they already had a stack in the back room. He also said that I would get one when the release date is finalized.
However, after this, like many have seen, the release date on his screen shows up as 7/31. Said he'd give me a call when/if that date changes and that they'd probably have a midnight pickup.
I can't friggin wait!!

I understand you being mad (it makes sense), but you shouldn't be mad at the people who get them. You should be mad at Google.
EDIT: Ok. I was wrong. You shouldn't be mad at Google either. They're busting their balls to try to make it fair for you. If some people do get them (which they will) then you should be mad at the company for releasing them.

If you do end up getting it tonight, will you post some pictures and stuff just to prove that it's possible to get it from GameStop early? I'm going when they open tomorrow and asking if they have mine. I'm pretty sure I was the only pre-order and I live in a smallish town, so I doubt they've received anything telling them not to release the devices.

And maybe that will push the big G to finally give the damn green light to ship all our damn playstore pre-orders already!
Just confirmed with a personal friend of mine that is a manager of a gamestop. They currently have their stock of Nexus 7s in stock and ready to be sold but are waiting on Asus to give a street date for them. :good:
Already confirmed and there is a topic for this.
Good luck with that. Asus and Google won't want to upset those that ordered at the announcement online, when they could have walked to the end of the road and picked one up instore quicker.
Expect store units to be delayed until after the initial shipments of online ordered have been dispatched to prevent a PR nightmare.

Well just called to confirm my preorder at gamestop. They asked when I preordered and since I was the first one to preorder they said mine is available for pickup tomorrow. Apparently not all of the preorders will be filled tomorrow and it depends on where in line you are. There has been many many cases of devices being available earlier at a local store than people received them direct from the manufacturer. This looks to be the same :highfive:

I pre-ordered on June 26th (thru the Play Store) just after the Nexus 7 was announced at Google I/O. It grieves me to know that I would have been better off waiting two days and ordered thru GameStop after it was announced that they would be selling the Nexus 7 Tablet, because waiting two more days to place the order would have gotten the tablet in my hands faster. (This is going to make for some really bad PR for Google...)
Edit: Had the wrong date of July 4th... (wrote from memory and remember a big event on July 4 - LHC announcement of finding the Higgs partical... Somehow crossed that with the Google I/O event the previous week)

Hello All,
I can also confirm I have my tablet from game stop!!!
Called me earlier, had in store waiting for me.
I'm in Somerville NJ
Checked my messages at home and got a call from gamestop that my nexus 7 is ready for pick up. Headed there now to pick it up!!!
Man these stores are going to get into serious trouble for selling these, and now that they are actually being sold at retail, we still arent getting any word from google about our play store pre-orders, more and more people are getting them at their local retail stores now and no other info what so ever, really a shame as I sold my other tablet early because I expected to get this based on what they had said about availability and you would figure that pre-orders from their site would be showing up on people's doorsteps now if others are actually buying them from places like Gamestop. Of course Gamestop isnt supposed to be selling these, so thats probably why, you are lucky you got it because you werent supposed to

I won't list the city because we don't have a lot of Gamestops in the state and I don't want ours getting in trouble, but got the text around 9:20AM and a phone call at 10:30 (while on the phone with one store rep who said they couldn't sell it...) saying it was ready for pick up. Went and got it, was told they got an email this morning to "sell them if you got them"...and we were "supposed" to be the August 7th wave...but still got it today...and the price rang up as $99,999.00 originally, took a LOT of finaggling on the clerk's part to get the price down to the $249.99...then the poor kid gave me CASH BACK (the ENTIRE nexus7 was paid for by the trade in of a butt load of "older" games and an ipad 1st gen 16gb, which the nexus was replacing) for my store credit, and I did the math, they didn't pull my extra 20% that they were supposed to...bonus of $20 for me today!

I called Google today about this. I was told the usual story about how it was too late to cancel, but was advised to simply refuse delivery. I'm under the impression that as long as you make sure the UPS driver is not allowed to leave the package at your location, you will be refunded in full. If you cannot properly refuse delivery, bringing it to a UPS facility within 5 business days (with the box unaltered) should also net a full refund.
The bottom line being: don't open the package. don't wait too long to return it if you couldn't refuse delivery.
I bought one from my local sam's club.. I had pre-ordered one from google on July 3rd.. but nothing seems to be moving.
If/when it comes, I'll offer it to my dad if he likes it. If not, I'll either sell it or send it back to google.

Me too. Staples. Followed the stock online and it is very accurate. When you see "not sold in this store", Just means they are out of stock. Keep checking and the same stores will change to "in stock." My store changed late saturday nite and showed in stock Sunday, I bought on Monday, they still had one for a guy on the phone while I was there, and Monday nite it changed to "not sold in this store."
Staples. Like the person above said, you can check in-store stock online. My local store had TWO 16GB ones in stock on Sunday when I checked, so I left immediately and got one
Staples is great. They get the nex7 in everyday on ups shipments. Seems like the average is 1-4 per store. Call around 10-11 and see if they have one.

I found mine at a micro center in my city(Kansas City). Checked online and they said they had 9 left. Called and they said they had 7 left. Then again the area that it was in was wealthier area. Pretty sure everyone in that area had iPads. They could care less about a $200 tablet

Got mine at the MacMall in Torrance, CA. Seems the store there and Huntington Beach have a substantial supply (Huntington had 60 last I checked). In store only, 16gb.
I initially tried the Staples route but there was only one store in Southern California that sold it (Pasadena). Must've annoyed the hell out of them calling everyday. They seem pretty clueless as to when they were expecting shipments.

I got ,one at staples but just got shipping notification from the play store after I tried to cancel. If anyone can't find one I'll sell the extra 16 gig nex7 at cost just to avoid having to refuse shipment and whatnot.

I found one. I had to drive a little over an hour to New Orleans, but I got one. It was a preorder at GameStop that was never picked up!
