Free movie and tv shows w purchase of Nexus 4? - Nexus 4 General

I picked up a Nexus 4 from Tmobile last Friday and my google wallet is showing several free items in my account including Rolling Stones album, planet earth, fallen skies and transformers dark side of the moon free. The date is December 22 which is when I bought and activated the phone. Could not find anything on this but not too bad of a bonus for buying phone. All are downloadable.
Check your accounts or was this a fluke from google play market.

Yes I believe all nexus 4 owners got that and I believe that nexus tablet owners got ice age for free but I may be wrong.

Is this T Mobile US or UK? I bought mine from the UK Play Store and haven't had any freebies. Transformers Dark of the moon is something I got with my Nexus 7 though.

I confirm I've got the free items. UK, Giffgaff (O2 owned MVNO).

Oh yeah, looks like I have those too. Anyone know if there is a way to see all of the items that came with it?

Staples!

I don't know why everyone is waiting for there 16gb n7. I got one last week at staples and another for my buddy this week. I still got my Google play credit and my free content and the free Google wallet money. Go to staples.

Yea, because Staples doesn't sell out. Never.
I got mine at staples in Nashville yesterday.

+1 for staples, got mine yesterday at one in Goleta, CA. They were out of the 16gb (which is fine because I wanted the 8 anyway), but it surprised me that they even had them at all when the best buy across the street from them was telling me it would be a few weeks before they got any in stock.

+1 Just checked for a 100 mi radias and found two locations selling the 8gb only.
If you are in San Antonio, head over to the RIM shoppes and in Austin at
1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd Suite 700
Austin TX 78723
100 mile check around my area=none. I got the last one on Friday
I don't think many people is waiting now .. but my local staples never stock up on crap besides office supplies

Staples last week- 16 gb. North Jersey. When it says not sold in this store on the internet, keep checking. That just means they are out of stock. It will change to In stock when they get a delivery.
On Thursday, I got my 16 GB from Staples about 30 miles away, it was the last one there. Definitely the only Nexus in my area too, Haha I had been searching and it finally crossed my mind to call there
Edit: should note that they did not have the 8 GB at my Staples. They were also kind enough to hold it for 3 hours until I got off from work despite it being their only one

I just got my 8gb from Staples today, I called four different locations by me and they were all sold out of the 16gb versions.

Uh, the Staples down here in TX were all empty of 16s, and most didn't even carry 8s. The Walmarts are getting 16s in a lot of areas, though. They have tons up around Dallas (where I go to school), but are out around Austin (where I'm spending the summer). Another place to check (just don't buy them all before I get up there for mine!)

I agree, Staples all over are getting stock! If it says "Low Stock" online...hurry!
It depends on location... here in CT all staples sold out.
Maybe geeks are a lot in this area

I tried calling my local Staples earlier, they didn't answer...
In any case, I'll call them up tomorrow and see how their stock is. Hopefully they have the 16GB in stock.
Does anyone have any experience with RMA's and Staples?

Yep my first one had a dead pixel. You have 14 days to get a replacement and it's really easy. Walk in, have your tablet and receipt/order number and get a new one.

Staples had neither the 16 or 8 in stock. The sales person was kind enough to tell me some guy just bought the last dozen!!! to sell online for a profit....??!
No estimate for next shipment, nothing....seriously? Called CS, no help, they asked if the sales person suggested I preorder one...I wasn't informed of the option.
I'm sorry but you shouldn't rub stuff like that in someone's face. Yes the lucky customer is entitled to do as he pleases but I feel strongly a product like this should have purchase quantity limits.
I may stop shopping at staples unless I have to go there in a 911... I sold my gift card.
Better believe I'm going to Google I/O 2013. Hopefully freebies will still exist (I would NEVER re sell mine,let alone the day of like some people did)...I'd be crazy not go go with my student discount. Just a matter of luck getting tickets I guess!

Nexus 7 in the Philippines

Just thought of creating a thread for pinoys who own this great device.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Nice we finally have a thread! I have a 16GB I got from someone at sulit.com, how about you OP and have you experienced any of the known issues? 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

Did anyone receive the $25 credit or the free movie from the Play Store? I got my 16gb version from the states and don't have any issues with screen lift. Just wish Google would offer the entire play store to its worldwide customers instead of using a work around to gain access.

Nope, didn't get it, but it doesn't bother me actually. The tablet was worth it.
Though I didn't get the $25 Play Store credit, I do have the $10 Google Wallet. Lol!
No problems with my 16gb too.

Free Media From the Play Store?

So, I just got my N4 today, went through all the motions and such, until I realized I have a bunch of free content from the play store. Magazines, a movie, 2 TV series, and a couple of books... Did I miss something?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah. This applies to everyone who received their N4.
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.
Kool beans.... i was waiting to get charge for the shows and the movie... awesome
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
Sent from my Nexus 4
Are you sure it's for Nexus 4? I just looked at Transformers and it's £7.99, even though I bought from Google.

Wanted Nexus 4, didn't fancy waiting - got it at O2 for £400

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)
I would have gladly paid extra as well, this thing is just brilliant. I'm glad I got it at the Play Store price, though enjoy your phone!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
If you get a faultless phone, it is worth it. I paid 500 for a sgs3 and IMO the nexus is better. That said, I am willing to wait.
I done exactly the same thing. Sold my galaxy note 2 on eBay and bought the nexus outright

Same here, and got a free TV. Also seem to be a few bargains on o2 priority moments, like £25 off an Ocado shop, so saved some money there too.

General release time-frame for Nexus 5 launch date

Let's get some crowdsource info on when this phone may launch. Most of us are shooting between on or around the 28th or 31st of this month This will be my first nexus purchase and will be doing it from my phone while at work. I have limited access to data and don't have the luxury of squatting at a pc on comcast ready to purchase with several friends.
Roughly when did the Nexus s, galaxy nexus and nexus 4 launch during the day. I imagine they will follow the breakfast pattern of the prior one but who knows? Were these released as they discussed the availability or later? Please grant a faithful user some reliable data so I can be a happy boy heading into the Holidays with a shiny new gadget ;-p

No reason to lock this thread. This is not the general "when will it be released" thread. This is asking if there has been a pattern in previous releases for the time of day that it goes live in the play store. I'm curious about this too as I have never followed the release of any of the other Nexus devices. I don't want to sit with my finger on the trigger at 8 AM if every other Nexus device has gone live at 6 PM for example. He's just asking for some history if anyone knows it.
We only have the N4 launch to go on, as the Gnex only came to the Play Store WAY after launch day (hence it didn't have the craziness of N4's release).
N4 went live around 8am in the UK. I suspect they may follow the same pattern again just hope they have the availability this time!

Officially it went live at 8am, but people were able to purchase up to 10mins before. 7.50am
So did it go live on the store at everyone's 8 am? Because 8 am UK is like 4 am EST.
If I can buy it at 7:53 am or sooner then I'm in.....later than 7:53 and I'll never ever buy it!!!!

It exists for you to post in. And cuz we're all going a little crazy with anticipation. After all, there's no Google Store for us to line up outside of for days.

It was a staggered release. Australia went live first when 8am local time rolled around. As long as your country's Play Store was selling the N4, it went live at 8.
There was a problem in the US, since it went live 15 minutes before 8. Then sold out in 15 minutes. So people who were expecting it at 8 got shafted.
@evleaks are saying the unveiling is on the 1st November which is this Friday
11/1
from what I've heard it was around the morning when it was released

Then the 31st then the first of November at the latest.... that we know so far *grin*

Yeah, it was *supposed* to be 8 AM PST, but like others have said, it went live a few minutes early.
I'm located in the Central time zone and I purchased my Nexus 4 at 9:56 CST, so it was definitely live before the scheduled time.
Once they give us a date and time (if we get that much) I'd suggest checking the Play Store at least 30 minutes before the scheduled time.
