Can't Wait! :highfive::highfive:

Staples website said the earliest they will arrive at purchasers house's will be the 13th. So, I'm guessing the 13th may be the day Google has given the all clear to release.

How messed up would it be to walk into a gamestop or staples on Thursday and pick one up? What would that say about google?

I would absolutely buy it from GameStop and return the one from the Google Play store.
Not really... I like Google too much...

Games top removed the nexus 7 from their website. What does that mean?

Was told my my local manager that if it does drop Thursday, then all of us who ordered it from him would be welcome to show up at midnight on Thursday to pick it up. How dope would it be for a midnight launch:good::good::good:.

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 wonder how many employees that preordered themselves are in the back room after hours playing with their nexus tablets. Back in the day I worked at blockbuster for a while and we always got goods early... sometimes weeks in advance. I never bought a game system or anything but we were allowed to watch movies a week or two in advance.

I was thinking that myself. The reason I preorderd it through Google was so I could get it first. It'd be a bummer if it didn't work out that way.

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.

Gamestop Nexus 7 confirmed in stock

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 ordered mine on July 7th, so I'm thinking I have to wait a little while :crying:

This is great news! I hope J&R ships mine in the next week then!

I'm kinda surprised cause I have heard about other game stops saying July 31 and emails that have said not to sell it.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I suggest you get there at opening, and don't give them time to read their corporate EMails.

That's my plan. I asked if they were doing a midnight release and I was told this isn't big enough for that. I would be there waiting inline.

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)

NOBODY is getting it until google and asus announce the official date.. unless you went to Google I/O... they cant and will not give it up before its official.. maybe that is a big hint that tomorrow might be the day, who knows. all i know is that even if it is tomorrow, my local gamestop hasnt recieved their shipment yet, so i wont even recieve mine unless it comes tonight (IF it comes out tomorrow)

So half the GameStops are saying come and pick up and half are saying we were told we have to hold them so I guess you just have to be lucky

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

Just bought mine from GameStop. I didn't pre-order.
The only devices they had there were the ones that had gotten pre-ordered, and the guy working there was the only one to pre-order it. So he sold me his reserved one. Said he would wait a little longer and take his girlfriend out to dinner or something.
Made my week.

Reserved it yesterday. Turns out I don't get it for another week or so since they don't have any except for pre orders (and I was the only one).

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!

Samclub is selling them also. I'm in line buying it right now.

Seen the "Gamestop ok to release Nexus 7" article this morning. I called mine and they said since I pre-ordered on the last day I would get it tomorrow or Monday. Then my wife got a text saying I could go pick it up today. Don't know who to believe, the manager or the text!

I just talked to a Gamestop rep in Slidell La. Gamestop stores in Covington, picyune and Mandeville are in stock. No stores on the south shore have them yet but she did say they're expecting their shipment later. I guess around 3 pm.

Same here. Closest thing is Staples 2 hours from me. Was tempted but my pre order is finally due tomorrow. Hoping my patience pays off with a good unit.

Staples - you can check inventory online at nearby stores everyday - very good real-time updates of stock.

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.

Back in stock at best buy online and stores are getting shipments (two local stores to me have gotten two shipments of 5-10 each this week) - though they sold out within minutes..
But ordered from best buy and it still lists Netflix and on the order has Netflix listed as its own sku.

Does anyone know if you can combine the codes for 6 months? It seems as though you would since the code says it applies credit to your account, so redeeming another code should just add more credit to the account.

Thanks for the heads up.

even going into the store, some employees didn't know it came in. the door person said they didn't have any. the TV section guy said they didn't have any. walked by an aisle and saw a display of them.
if you're close enough, waste the gas to drive and check yourself.
