Free content. Ha! - Nexus 7 General

Did anyone in the UK get Bourne Dominion loaded on their N7? I got the Transformer film and a Jeffrey Archer book. I was looking forward to reading some Robert Ludlum. Not so much the J A book. What did you all get? Since this side of the pond we couldn't have all the content they got in the States, it would have been nice to get a few more decent books to make up for the shortfall.

Robert Ludlum died in 2001 - Eric Van Lustbader is writing the stories under license. Not the same as Ludlum work. Honestly I think including anything free (and also giving a Google Play credit) is a great deal. I am sure that, due to licensing and commerce laws, the freebies can vary from country to country.

Canadian here and I got the book as well. So to some up of what came on my device that was free were:
- Transformers
- Bourne Dominion
- Nexus 7 Tablet Guide
- $25 Play Store credit

Yeah the UK one only comes with the Transformers movie, a Jeffrey Archer book and the old Nexus 7 guide. Along with the £15 credit ofc. Here's hoping google will get all the legal stuff out the way soon and add a music and magazine store for us.

Easy to to say when you aren't the one getting short changed. If we made you read that Jeffrey Archer book you'd soon change your tune.

What free music did we get with the Nexus 7? I know all about other stuff, but what music did they throw in for free?

We don't get Magazines or Music here, but we do get raised screens for free. Oh, and they have revoked access to a book I bought.

The Ricky Gervais would have made up for inflicting Jeffrey Archer on us. Be interesting to find out what content everyone got in the UK and how they justify giving more more content to some of us than others. I bought the 16gb.

I got free Anticipation followed by the lovely gift of Frustration, on the plus side these are still more fun than the Jeffry Archer book I suppose.

If gamestop is selling the nexus 7 in stores beginning tomorrow (12th).

I'll call around to the gamestops in my area to see if this is possible. anyone have some insight for me on this topic? WILL IT WORK?

Depends on what happens, if you have been following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737556 you would know that gamestop may or may not have received an email from google telling them not to sell tomorrow. Also a lot of people who called google to try and cancel have been told its too late to cancel and they would need to wait till after delivery, return/refuse delivery and wait a few weeks for refund.

Here's whats stopping you...
I'm 99% sure you have to be on a preorder list from Gamestop to buy one...
You're not going to stroll in to gamestop and just pick up a Nexus 7 off the shelves. Gamestop has already hit their national wave 1 quota from google. I preordered my nexus 7 on Saturday, the 7th and I'm on wave 2. With that said, I don't know how stores would have nexus 7's just available to a general consumer to come in off the streets.
Keep your existing preorder.....

When I first read your username I thought it said Hemorrhoids.... word to the wise.
I placed a preorder through Gamestop and what a slickdeal (thanks for the heads up slickdeals!)
Bought two ipod touches off craigslist for 60 and 65
Traded them both in for $240 credit
270 (after taxes) + 125 (craigslist ipods) - 240 (trade in credit) = 155 for a brand new Nexus 7
freakin SCREAMING awesome deal. whooooooot
Can't wait to get my hands on this tablet, especially for such a killer price. Thanks slickdeals and gamestop LOL

Shipment coming Monday possibly Tuesday

Well I got my shipping info yesterday, and have yet to receive any update on ups of it being actually shipped.
So I call ups and asked what was going on, and why would they say delivery date of the 16th if I have seen it ship yet.
The rep said once it ships the delivery date will update to most likely to Tuesday.
Sorry to bring bad news but I just wanted to give a heads up.
I am pissed I could have bought it from Sam club cheaper and no shipping cost. I wish Google would have said retail stores would have it same time. This makes we want to dump Google and go to Apple and iOS full time.

Don't be so dramatic. Ordering from Google didn't guarantee that you get yours before anyone else. If you're getting angry over having to wait a couple of extra days, then Android is probably better off without you.
(For the record, I'm still likely to get mine even later than you get yours)
I ordered way back on the 27th from the Play store but still ran out yesterday and picked one up from a b+m store anyways. Wanted to be able to play with it over the weekend. When mine comes from Play, I'll either return this one or sell it to a buddy.
It will be worth the wait, I can assure you. This thing is all sorts of amazing.
I don't mind the wait that doesn't upset me I am upset because if they had stated retail stores would have it same week I would have bought it from there and saved shipping costs even if it was same price and now Sams club has it 20 bucks cheaper and with tax that is 40 bucks or so off.

Google could screw up 100 times over and I still would not jump over to Apple. Yes I'm pissed that I pre-ordered early from the Play store and yes GameStop pre-orders are already in their grubby hands but I will have my tablet by mid next week. Do I want to trade a few days waiting or jump over to sue happy Apple? Apple would rather kill everyone then release new/better products. The next iPhone will have the same design for 2 years minimum and the same screen size for another 5 years. And I'm not giving those bastards 30% of my app purchases just to blow it in the court room. I sold my iPad 3 two weeks ago and I have no regrets in doing so.
There's absolutely no need for yet another thread about orders/deliveries - there are stickies where you can discuss such matters.

Free Nexus 7 with Google Fiber!!!

Google Fiber
If you get internet plus TV for $120 per month, you get a free N7 for the remote. With a 2 year contract.
Only catch seems to be moving to Kansas City.
And according to this article, the general public got the N7 a week after the I/O. Someone didn't really check his facts.
At any rate, I hope google fiber works out in KC.
I'm in KC.. and I sure wish the coverage maps were looking a bit better. Or I hope they plan to expand. I currently know no one that lives in the covered area.
Imagine being a mile or two from where the cutoff is currently. If I never get it because of that 2 miles. ugh
I will move but I won't be happy about it. lol
Essentially the plan is TV and Internet, for 120 a month. If you sign a 2 year agreement they waive the 300 install fee.
Your remote control is a Nexus 7 tablet. You can watch on 8 different tv's. 500hour dvr, and 1tb cloud storage.
This is going to put Comcast and Time Warner along with all the others when it goes to other cities out of business. I'm all for it.

I wish this were in Chicago, I'd be all over it lol
Bring it on down to Dallas, someplace that's actually a tech town (or used to be)! -Ara
The other thing that I think is cool about this is, think of all those households that are iPad and iphone only. Simply because they don't know any better. They're all going to have an android tablet now. The more they use it, surely the more they'll like it.
This could be huge as far as the android vs. ios battle goes.

Anyways, what would do you want to see in Black Ops 2.
I would like to have it just like Black Ops, except, in zombies mode, it has stats, like how many kills, favorite weapon, time spent playing, ect.
Of course, I would want better and bigger maps, and improved guns.
Another thing I would like is prestige, ranks, and titles for zombie mode. But the rank doesn't give you any advantage, as in it doesn't unlock anything. They would just be for showing off.

Reserved.
They should get rid of perks and kill streaks all together. And quit catering to noobs.

I'd rather play the my little pony official ios app than play black ops (yes it really is that bad to me)
I just hope they don't severly limit Hardcore Mode like MW3 did. Granted they finally gave us CTF for hardcore but still there are only like 5 game modes for hardcore on MW3 and about a million and a half game modes for regular core.
As longas Black Ops II has good stuff for hardcore players I will be fine with it....unless it is a complete failure like BF 2142.

Lol. I don't complain about tubes, I was just saying that they get annoying and sometimes ruin the game. I usually just slowly walk around the map and kill anybody I see on the way. I never really camp unless I'm hiding the flag in CTF.

Honestly, and no offense, I think MW3 is for people who just sucked at the game and so they always n00btube. When I first played the game I had no fun. The guns were stupid and it was wayyyyyy to easier to kill/get killed. Without a challenge, its no fun.

No, it doesn't. It's a remnant from the days where TV's were still new and unknown. When the governments still funded the only channels.
However, most of that licence income goes to the funding for the channels. Which in turn pays for the shows they create.
Isn't Europe in the middle ages or something like that?
The License fee, currently £145.50 per year, pays for the BBC television and radio channels which have no income from commercials. They also produce regional programmes, both radio and televison. The BBC is supposedly "independant" from the state but there is still a fair amount of interferance if you'll excuse the pun.
All other channels are run commercially funded by advertising.
There is an enforcement regime mainly based on a database of some 30 odd million properties, they assume all houses have a TV, you have to declare that you do not. Fines for not having a license can go up to £1,000.

A license is per household and covers all devices. It is still required for devices capable of watching or recording live TV even if you don't have a TV! This could mean your phone if it can be used to watch or record live TV, but not if you watch the program via their catch up service. Then it all starts to get a little blurred.
The page above claims they have hand held detection equipment, and detector vans to detect operating equipment.
Do they actually work or are they a complete bluff? The jury is still out.
Fines and convictions appear to have been the accused actually admitting their own guilt, when the enforcement officers came banging on the door.
This topic can run and run...............

Enforcement Officer: "Excuse me Sir, could I see your TV license?"
Householder: "Certainly, here it is."
Enforcement Officer: "But Sir, this license is ten years out of date!"
Householder: "So are the bloody programmes!"

As has already been stated, the license fee funds the BBC.
It's worth every penny not to get advert infested TV programs on the channels that the BBC run. The advertising on all of the other channels is intrusive in my opinion.
I've been to the USA and tried watching TV there. It's a dead loss as there is even more advertising than on the commercial channels in the UK. Rather than programming interrupted by by advertising it is more like advertising interrupted by programming! I found it very frustrating.
And don't get me started on $ky TV. You pay a subscription AND advertising pushed on you! No thanks!!!
Look yanks, we pay that bloody license fee so you lot can watch Dr Who. I'm damn sure nobody over here watches that crap....

My deepest condolences.
Are you forced to or is there just something very wrong with you?

I hate that show.
The truth! I'm really a girl!
Doctor Who may be a bit cheesy on occasion, but i'd pay the license twice with a bloody bow attached on top if it meant we'd finally get Sherlock season 3!

My wife has been watching that on Netflix...seems decent.
-Older than I look, younger than I feel.-
I turned on Dr. Who for a few minutes and had no idea what I was watching. On the other hand, we have to thank the brits for Top Gear on BBC America
