I just saw this article thought I'd share with you all.

I just bought my nexus 7 and I have 5 days to take it back for a full refund, I only get 14 days. But after reading this its probably going back for now. I can contain myself for a few days to possibly get the 32 for the same price.

Picked my 16 GB up in late September. Do I regret it? Not at all. If there is a price drop, I'll be mildly annoyed, but then I did get the play credit. Just the way the dice rolls.

Kinda sucks, but I can't complain... got the Play credit for myself and my wife... and I got $25 off on a sale/coupon. So in a way I got my 16GB for $175, but I did buy the accidental coverage for $40 too... it is what it is...

This, I got my n7 16 the day it came out and I absolutely love it. Now a few months later I can get one for the same low price with twice the space? I'll be buying it the day it's out.
Fact is if you want to be up to date, you'll be buying a new device every 6 months, it's just how it is, but hey, who doesn't have a hobby they like to throw money at?

Hi, I'm wondering how did you get the 25 bucks play store credit? I also purchased mine last weekend, but only found the 25 Google play store bonus is no longer valid (after September 30)
(BTW I'm in Europe)
Thanks!

I got my Nexus 7 yesterday from newwegg and I didn't get the 25$ credit. I don't know if it may be related to my location - I live in Europe but I am visiting US now. Even if I try to access redeem codes from google wallet, I get the message "Gift Cards are not available in your location.". Anyone knows how to tell google that my location is now USA?
EDIT: Sorry for little off-topic - I found an answer to my question, in case someone is interested, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838710
the thing that stands out in my mind
The way these companies justify their pricing is hilarious... one quote in the article states
Right now, Google only offers the Nexus 7 in two sizes, 8GB and 16GB. 8GB is an extremely small amount of space but it enables Google to sell the device extremely cheap at $199.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just seems rediculous for anyone to believe that 8GB more storage would cost $50 ... and with the cost of memory per GB nowadays it would be a no brainer to up it to 64GB and 96GB just to stomp out the competition...
I guess Google was thinking this would be a more wireless cloud based device but consumers are showing that we don't wanna go that way ... would make sense to meet the demand and just flip everybody out with memory numbers that are huge.... cheap way to set this tablet apart from the rest (besides the other things it's already got going)
Got my 16gb n7 a few weeks ago for £180 UK pounds + £15 store credit + Transformers movie. Otg cable gives me unlimited storage if I need it.
I don't think I would be able to get the 32gb model for this price when it comes out, so I am not worried.

Actually, I remember reading an article about this pricing that said the 8gb didn't provide any real room for profit and the 16gb version is more so that resellers could actually make money on the device.
At first this seemed true as I couldn't find a reseller that even sold the 8gb, but now most seem to, so perhaps the build cost went down.
As for a 32gb coming out for the same price as the 16gb now...I doubt it. This thing hasn't even been out for a year. As for the 8gb going to $99...no way. Not unless Google is doing a fire sale and dumping Android like HP with WebOS.
More realistic would be something like $279/229/179 pricing for 32/16/8gb versions...

So for Christmas my wife got me a 64GB memory card. I had sent her links to places where it was on sale (amazon/radio shack) but she found one cheaper on eBay... I had not told her eBay was full of fakes. So thats where she got one from. It was a fake (4GB card formatted to look like it was 64GB). We filed a complaint w/ eBay after the seller was unresponsive and got our money back. But now all of the sales for the holiday are over :crying:
Does anybody know a good place to get a 64GB microSD card? Amazon has them for $60 but they where around $40 for Christmas.
I know its been said before but be careful of eBay and microSD cards. I knew better but she didnt. Make sure others know as well!

Try Bestbuy
Radio Shack has them on sale here and there I got mine for $40 from them.
Best buy has the Samsung 64gb micro sd card for $239.99
Fry's Electronics has the same card for $69.99
I recommend going with Samsung as your sd card...too many people are complaining about the SanDisk cards.

Darn it, I got mine last week for $59. Can't complain, it works great for less than $1/gigabyte.
I bought my
sandisk ultra 64gb from amazon like 2 months ago.
I think i paid 48$ (with shipping).
The card is excellent, no problems at all
The sandisk work fine for a few months then you'll get an error or too then it won't even be recognized in your phone or your computer. Luckily I made a backup onto my computer just before it crapped out. sandisk == never again
I've used sandisk for over 10 year not a single problem.
It's funny how so many people are having issues with SanDisk. Could it be possible that our devices are to blame as SanDisk is a big company that specializes in memory? :-$ I can't base this on anything but logic. Regardless, I have a SanDisk 32gb and I have yet to have an issue. :-\ in fact I have multiple 32 gig cards in different devices.

I've been using a 32GB and 64 sandisk for about a few months now in my note 2, no problem, but I also have a lexar 32GB, for about a year without a problem in otther phones, the funny thing is, I gave It to a friend for his note 2, after 3-4 months the card got corrupted, my friend has many photo's in the card, so i'll have to find a way to try recover them if possible.

For $22 pretty decent i guess.
Package looks really damage though
Considering i bought my SanDisk Ultra microSDHC UHS-I 32GB card for about 40$, and the regular one class 4 was selling for around 32$, that looks like a decent deal.
Wouldn't worry about the package though, as long as the card is intact everything would be fine.

Exactly! as i worked in retail for 2 years (computers, cellphones, everything) i can tell you not to go near these cheap no name things. Even the big names like SanDisk, Patriot, Transcend and all of them have problems once in a while. But these no name ALWAYS doing trouble.
Bought the card finally from him.
It was indeed seal packed. The top part was actually folded which looked as if it had been cut.
If the card breaks down, how do i claim the warranty?
Just by showing the card wrapper ?
There should be a serial on the card itself and then do a rma.

I see some of these 64GB PNY MicroSDXC cards on eBay and I'm wondering if anyone has bought one and if they're legitimate or not.

There's not really any way you can lose here, unless you count your money being tied up in paypal for a few days a loss. eBay/Paypal will pretty much always side with the buyer in cases like this, and the seller is in the US so it will be less of a pain in the ass to get refunds.
Buy one and let us know if it's legit

Ordered that 64GB SanDisk for $33... seems like they're all out now.
Aha, yea I ordered one before I posted it just to be sure it wouldn't run out. I asked the seller if they're genuine and he replied saying Yes. So, if it's not, I'll just take it up with eBay.
Did anyone offer a lower price and got it accepted?

I usually buy them from dealextreme. The free shipping saves me about $11, and since they mess with the import form and use stealth packages I am never taxed on small goods from there (taxes are very high - 60% from the combined price of the product + shipping).
Here is the link - U$68,60 for it:

Bought 2 of these and they worked great, seems original.
