Has anyone been to gamestop today to check to see if they have the Prime available to play with? If so, what are your thoughts?
No but I'm sure you could call them and ask instead of wasting gas...

Just a heads up, not all GameStops sell Tablets and because of that not all GameStops will be displaying and/or selling the Prime. If you go to GameStop you can use the tablet section to find locations that are actually tablet stores and they will most likely have the Prime for display. Hope that helps stop people from running around town looking to check one out only to be disappointed.
I understand it's not available at all Gamestop stores, I was just trying to see if anyone has played with one yet. I am stuck at work all day and haven't been able to go to one yet. So has anyone played with one, if so what are your thoughts?

Ok np, I just wanted to point that out, as this is the internet and some people may have read that and not be aware of the fact that not all locations carry them. I personally would but I honestly don't feel like driving to the nearest one which is about 20 miles just to check it out. I will be patient. There is another thread where someone purchased a unit from GameStop, so if they are receiving their units other retailers are as well so it's only a matter of time before they start shipping for pre-orders. I'm personally hoping my Newegg order ships this week.

I called my local ones that are listed and 2 out of 3 have it in stock. One of them already has them a full stock of the Asus in the store, but won't sell them until the 19th. Another store that didn't have the demo said they will be getting the demo plus the rest of there stock in by Thursday, but also won't be selling it till the 19th as well. I wonder how he was able to buy one right away. I think I might try and get one in store if mine doesn't ship by the 19th.
GameStop near me had one in stock.
I was the first one in the door when they opened.
The manager did not seem to know the one he had was a demo.
He sold it to me with a pickup date when it could be 'released'.
I was surprised he seemed clueless that it was a Demo only.
I would really rather have the 64GB version I have on pre-order but with all the turmoil over supply issues I decided to lock it in while I could. I can always sell it on Ebay if the 64GB comes in.
i went in a played with it but he woudnt sell me one

The gamestop 75miles away from me has a 32gb champagne gold (purple) one & believe me i have no problem making that drive & getting it in that color either lol.
gamestop related: i noticed they removed availability online for the prime as well as the games that came on the device.. that area is now blank.. wish there was more information on gamestop.com
So is this so called "purple" Prime ugly? because the color "purple" is a better fit for grandma or my mum...
So let me get this right.. I can walk into a gamestop (assuming they have the prime demo and stock..) And pay like $5 to reserve one that I can then pick up on the 19th? If so I may aswell just cancel my pre-order and not have to pay shipping and not have to wait an extra day fir it to get shipped...
Anyone have any information about this?

Just got off the phone at my local Gamestop. Looks like they are taking pre-orders in store! Going tomorrow for sure to lock one down. I will for sure cancel order online once done.

So only $5 needed to put down to reserve one? If so, I'm going to do that also asap..lol
So what about the looks of the purple? Is it all decepticon style or what? That is really good news that they are taking pre-orders in store.. If that means I can walk in on the 19th and pick up my decepticon prime then I may just have to do that ASAP!
i dont mind the purple.. just gonna get this... carbon fiber and screen protector. screen protector for smudge prevention ofcourse. no smudges for me!

Okay. So I can finally preorder. I need some advice on where to buy from. Should I pay the extra $40 at Gamestop because the TFP/Gamepad bundle still says 12/9? Or do I go with TigerDirect or B&H even though I think they have sold out of their initial stock and are just still taking preorders unlike Amazon and Newegg. I am in Texas if that helps you guys form some advice. Will Gamestop charge me tax? Who am I most likely to get it on the release date from? Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide!

Oh and I am sure it's been posted but Asus changed the Prime page from the "It's coming" ad: http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer-prime/features

Yep. Dunno if it's gonna be release day though. I'm really not sure what to do. I want it on release day though like most people. Here's the BB link for the gray. They have both docks now too.

Well you can always opt for the 64GB model. Not sure about where you're from, but here in Canada BB hasn't even put those up for pre-order yet! 32GB seem to be out of stock though. As soon as the 64GB is up for grabs I'm jumping on it.
I'm getting the feeling that once again Asus has undermanufactured their tablet and it will take them months to catch up with demand. We might be lucky to get one by the end of January.
I think I'm ordering the gamepad/tablet combo from Gamestop in hopes that the Dec 9th date is still good for the bundle. I hope its the amethyst gray version. Wish me luck.

I'm gonna be so pissed if that's the case. This is supposed to be my college graduation gift! Better step up my pre-order game.

I literally have 2 days of school left too late for that! Hehe
I cannot make myself hit the preorder button on Gamestop for some reason. I think it is the lack of color selection. I thought I didn't care until it came time to order. Now I think I must actually want the Amethyst Grey. Not sure why I capitalized that but it is what it is.
For updated info on preorders on the TF201 check this site out...

Adorama just started taking preorders the other day, but they werent one of the original preorder sites. So i dont know if they will be shipping out the same day or not as the rest. You'll have to check that out. If i was to preorder now i would pick tigerdirect just bc ive dealt with them in the past.
Thanks rosco. I just preordered at Adorama. They show 'on or around the 15th' as a ship date but it was my last hope to not pay tax. Tiger, GS, & BB all charge tax to Texas. I ordered the 32GB amethysts grey and the dock with overnight shipping ($40...ouch).
I'm not preordering, and to me that just means im going to get it the day of release.
I was wondering what your guys views on the matter was.
Do you think there will be plenty in store? or is your only chance a preorder?
From what I've heard and talked to people at Best Buy, they won't even be in stores until after the New Year. I pre-ordered because I've been burned in the past thinking that they'd have them in store on release day and so far that has never happened.

Oh and NO 64GB IN STORES! Last I checked they were only available from a few online retailers, which totally sucks. Oh and waking up early to go pick it up to save shipping costs is a pretty good deal. If you want a 32GB, stores are the way to go.
I have never pre-ordered any computer hardware before, I thought getting old means being more patience... maybe not this toy.
Anyone has experience with Bestbuy preorder? Do they send it off a few days before official release date so it arrives to you on the day of release?

id like to know this as well, hell if any site did that.. give me a link and ill preorder it right now.
the main advantage to preordering is to ensure you have one at release, going by asus' track record for the OG transformer, not getting one of the initial shipment could mean you're going to have to do a lot of hunting and waiting to get a hold of one.
although, gamestop might be your best bet to picking one up at launch.

i live in canada and i don't have an gamestop anywhere close to me, i do have an EB games tho.
I'm wondering if i ordered one online, could i cancel it if i was able to find one in stores? and what i heard about the last asus, was that they had some in stores they just went out of stock right away, am i right?
I talked with a Best Buy manager this weekend and he said they don't expect to see the Prime in the store until sometime in January.
Another Best Buy post on this site: [Updated 12.04.11]Transformer Prime and Dock on BestBuy.com | New information! is by an employee of Best Buy and he is saying that even when they are carried in the store they will only be the gray version. Gold will on be available online.
As popular and as much hype surrounding this tablet goes, I doubt any will be available in any stores. Especially release day and you haven't preordered yet. All stocks will go to preorders first. Then if any left of someone backs out, then u might luck up and find one.
I just did mines at GameStop. Put $50 dollars down on preorder on 32GB version and I'm guaranteed to get it on Dec. 19th. For in store pickup. Just pay difference when you go in to pickup. You really can put down as much as you want but $50 is the minimum. Also of for some reason you have to cancel, you can get all your money back as long as you hold the receipt. They also said you can come a day or 2 after the 19th. To pick it up if you can't make it that day of release and it's still guaranteed to be held for you.
I think GameStop preorder is the best way to go if you want to have device guaranteed before Christmas or on the 19th. Which is like 2 weeks away! Plus for the same price others charging, GameStop gives you about $42 of pre installed software. I believe it's like 8 games or something that are optimized for tegra3. You can find out exactly which ones they are on GameStop website. These games normally cost about $6 a piece if you get them from TegraZone or android market. So I thinks that's especially cool. That glow ball game is really amazing, as far as graphics n looks go.

edit: just looked at gamestop.com... its only for america, i don't have a passport, that sucks!!
Used to be pre-order was the way to go because you were guaranteed one. Now a days It's a diff story! I don't want to face the lines and risk of them not being in the store.
I didn't pre-order from amazon.
I ordered on the 19th after cancelling my newegg pre-order.
Just got this email. Same date for my dock as well. I think these just might ship with ICS
Hello,
We now have delivery date(s) for the order you placed on December 19, 2011 (Order# 103-8767212-xxxxxxx):
"ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-B1-CG 10.1-Inch 32GB Tablet (Champagne)"
Estimated arrival date: January 26, 2012 - February 09, 2012
I got the same email. I may just give up on this tablet :-/
I really think Asus is doing some quiet back tracking and recalling a lot of these tablets that was sent to US.
This would explain why the local Best Buy's in my area were quite confident that they're shipment was going to be here by the 19th and soon changed their tune to that they didn't know how soon they would get them and that they were suppose to get them earlier but Asus pulled their shipment and they've pulled their new shipment.
I really think that story from Canada about the faulty Primes were true and Asus is being super hush about it with in regards to the US.
This is why there have been so few sold here following the launch.

I assume they figure early adopters wouldn't give a crap. Which they rarely do. I'm just glad we're going to get a next rev tablet. Maybe we'll see an improvement. Maybe they'll carve a hole out of that aluminum slab to fit a proper antenna.
Screw Amazon
OK guys, amazon messed us up big time. So what I suggest we all do is, wait for them to credit us the 10 dollar they promised and then cancel any orders you have with them and go to another place.
I mean I got my prime from gamestop last night, but still have 2 on preorder from amazon. They got the nerve to send us an email and say we can preorder again and we waited til midnight to do it, and we got the same date as people ordering much later. That's so not right. You'd think they would have it sooner. So by friday you all should be getting the 10 dollar amazon promised. If not call them and as soon as you get it. Drop the preorder.

WoW, if they don't tell you early they are not informing you and if they wait till the last minute they aren't being honest.
Curious to know, were you planning on buying 2 preorders from Amazon or were you going to cancel one or both so they would have to change their inventory allotment again for distribution of preorders? (hint about wherein lies at least part of the problem)

To answer your number 2 question. I order 2, but intend on only keeping one, whichever was available first. At that point I also rushed to preorder at other sites because I had only originaly ordered one from amazon. Seeing as how amazon canceled my order and seeing how there is delays everywhere, I decited to order from several different places hoping that I would get one of them. You see, if Amazon would keep my ONE order, I would not have to run all over the place ordering everywhere else, including reordering 2 from amazon hoping to get one. It turns out that I did get one from gamestop, which now will force me to cancel both amazon orders. You think I like buying from gamestop? I hate them, and I also hate paing taxes. I could have saved by buying from amazon, which I want to, but they have failed me and they failed again on the second preorder sending me back to the end of the line.
Got your 10 dollar from amazon?
Were some of you promised 10 dollars? Have you got it?
I was looking to buy one of these tablets from Micro Center, but it seems that they have gone out of stock with them and removed them as a listing from their website (you can still get to the item if you google it for some reason, they didn't delete the actual page..). I saw that best buy has them in stock, but I was just wondering if any other stores have it in stock because there is no best buy close by but there is a micro center (odd, I know).
If anybody could help link me to some stores (not online) that have this item, that would help me out a lot.
Thanks!
Target supposedly has some in stock. They are in stock online. You can call your local store to see if you get lucky.

Wow,
That really sucks man. Guess it just wasn't meant to be just yet.
Just a heads up, I'm in Montreal
If you're looking to getting the prime, I walked in to the BB at Fairview Pointe-Claire to buy my Dock and they had 6 in stock on Saturday around noon.
They seem to be getting them on a regular basis every week around Friday.
I recommend you call on Thursday/Friday/Saturday morning to see if they have any.
They seem to receive their stock right before the week-end, because I picked up my first Prime from FS on Thursday two weeks before (also Pointe-Claire)
And just a heads up, not all store will carry it, due to it not being available in french so I was told by a FS store manager, so chose your store locations carefully, but Pointe-Claire BB and FS are your best bet in Montreal from my experience.
Thank you all for the help, but I ended getting a tf101 for
$350 at compusa. Im not using this device for hardcore graphics or anything so i figured a tegra 2 would suffice.

I will share with you a awesome little tool that helped me snag my tfp and should help you. It shows you who has it in stock and you can have it send you a txt message when it comes in

Actually, Amazon has never sold the Prime for anything more than its retail price ($499 for 32GB, $599 for 64GB). Those inflated prices are by people just using Amazon as a storefront. Worse than the inflated price, maybe, is that you don't likely get the same return policy as with Amazon. Basically, buying from those people is pretty much exactly like buying off of eBay.

My gps doesn't work but I was aware of the problem when I purchased it, that is why I still use a Garmin Nuvi 660 for my gps navigation.

My gps doesn't work but I was aware of the problem when I purchased it, that is why I still use a Garmin Nuvi 660 for my gps navigation.

I ordered mine from Gamestop online. It's Going to be here Tomorrow (2/20). I ordered it Wednesday (2/15). It would of been here Friday (2/17) Originally, paid $24 to overnight it. Since I never purchased on Gamestop.com with that expensive of a order & different shipping address from Billing address, the system put it on hold till I called from my Billing phone number (Never received email they said they sent). That was Thursday (2/16). Next day called up, to find out cause still never got my shipping notification email. something happened where kicked that error up again, this time the rep said to ship it's verified. Later that day Friday (2/17) i received the email saying there was a issue to call this phone number. This point I am getting way beyond pissed, so called yet again, lady said no it's all set that she just sent emails out. It will be here Tuesday. So I said that's it, I'm NEVER shopping at Gamestop again. I buy all my games and accessories for all my consoles there. I have PSP, PS3, WII, XBOX 360. Plus I purchase their powerup subscription. She was very apologetic for all my issues, explained why everything happened. Then she have me the overnight shipping for free.
On Wednesday before I ordered I wanted to make sure they had it available,.only one they had was the grey 32GB Bundle. It comes with a Bluetooth controller (Looks like a aftermarket PS3 controller). He said that there was a few hundred left of that, but are going fast.

So if you order before Noon, have no hold ups, and overnight it will be there the day after next. (example order on a Tuesday, should receive on that Thursday.) As I said if there is no "hiccups". The last person I talked to was great, took care of it & said she will over see my order, do everything in her power to get it to me on Monday, but still said probably be Tuesday, and anything else pops up she would personally call me. Few hours later I got email with tracking number I go on UPS to check, sure enough it said Monday.
Hoped that helps, sorry for the book.
Again call up to check if they have in stock before you order.
Also Amazon said they should have them available on the 24th, that includes prime membership as well. Believe it's the 64GB grey model for the normal price $599
GOOD LUCK!

not so great for canadians but for US its awesome. For me i just bookmarked the Bestbuy, futureshop, visions, and memoryexpress websites to check every day if they had them in stock and i got lucky. Easy as that!
