It's 12AM here so merry christmas to those on the east coast. Who knows maybe santa might bring you a Transformer Prime, or if you already have one, then maybe the dock. And if you are one of those that have everything, then maybe santa will skip you and give to those in need.
And if you were bad this year, you get a lump of coal and an iPad
Its the same time here. merry Christmas to you also. I'm just sitting up enjoying my prime.

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
Does best buy still have them available?
I think J&r has them too.

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.

You could time things right by taking a semester or two off.

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).
TP for sale at this thread if anyone is interested in one for Christmas-

This is bad timing to sell a used TouchPad on here.
Its all over that HP is selling them on Sunday night at fire sale prices, $149 for a 32GB.
I know you are not ripping anyone off, just thought I would point that out, that this weekend is bad timing for trying to sell one. Next week will be hard too, everyone knows about the sale, and will think you bought one at fire sale prices just to turn a quick buck.

According to one of the source from this thread, it would be at 7PM EST, which is 23h00 GMT. (+2 for your timezone)

That source has a countdown clock, which may help you figure out what time it will be for you. Look in the second post for the aptly named "Until we crash eBay" clock.
Please PM me if you are!!!
I need to order another one and cancel with newegg if you are canceling with bestbuy amazon or another one that will ship before christmas please PM me before doing so that way i can add it to my cart when their inventory updates!!
i doubt it's that quick.
I have an in-store Gamestop preorder I need to figure out what to do about. Only problem is knowing when it's available to be picked up.
Ok people are just getting effing silly about this thing...holy cow.

I'm sorry you can't blame a 16 year old for wanting his present on Christmas morning!

I spoke with a really helpful rep at Newegg yesterday because I wanted to change my delivery address as I am going out of town for Christmas. She talked to a supervisor and finally came back and said not to. She indicated that there was a good chance that they would start shipping on the 19th and not the 27th as the site says.
This was after I asked her why Newegg was late shipping when other sites were listing the 19th. She said she was going off what was listed on the product page and to hold on she would ask her supervisor. She came back about 3 minutes later and said to hold off on changing the delivery address as there was a good chance it would ship on the 19th. One thing seemed pretty clear when she came back and that is that they will start to ship before the 27th.
Hehe, it's been quite some time since I've been 16 so you're probably right. Maybe we had more patience back then and a bit more self-control. Or I'm just getting too damn old....back in my day we used to play outside.
Either way, I hope you get it by Christmas.
If I don't get mine before Xmas I'm cancelling just to spite Asus. I'll just get clothes with the money or something.

Ok... now we shall see...
Hey... this is the first good news I have heard from someone posting about New-egg. I hope they ship early next week like the rep suggested... I was all doom and gloom until now...
"atlas, there is once again a ray of hope, that in all this uncertainty, there shall become a happy ending... For thou I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and there is an Asus Transformer Prime waiting for me there"
Behold the Asus Transformer Prime.... Yes, Behold it I shall.
similarly, if anyone preordered from more than one place, instead of cancelling your other preorder, let me buy it from you . . . pm me if this is the case.
i'm hoping someone around the area might be able to point me to the right direction. live in vancouver canada, and heading down to bellvue washington next weekend. im hoping to get a ASUS Eeepad Transformer Prime TF201 Keyboard Champagne color.
any suggestion where i can start looking that i may have better luck of finding one?
Thanks
I had my Prime and the keyboard ordered from Amazon on the same order. I finally got tired of waiting so long and deleted the keyboard from my order yesterday. Today they're showing a HUMONGOUS improvement on my shipping estimate for the Prime, but now I've nowhere to get a dock!
Lol, I think I'll be happy at least getting my Prime in, but now that I deleted the dock I don't see it anywhere. I'm in the US, if that matters. Have all retailers just completely dropped the product-line?
I was able to buy my TFP from officedepot.com a week ago, and it came in 3 days. I ordered my dock from bestbuy.com, had them ship to store this week, and I got it in 3 days.... I don't see why its been so hard for others to get them... Im in the US, Northern California to be exact.
Check frys.com , I think they have one in bellingham, not sure though...

Best Buy currently has them.
http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/asus/accessories/
Thanks! I'll wait until the tablet actually gets here (curse Amazon) and then order the same day. Hopefully they'll still have them >.> Frys it is.
Guess the major online retailers just jumped ship then? Consider BB brick&mortar and we've none nearby.
I ordered a keyboard dock the day after Christmas for Amazon and it still says ships between 1st and 15th of February. It's funny how Best Buy keeps getting them in but Amazon is so slow. They must have sold a ton of pre-orders. I'd switch to someplace else but I paid for most of it with Amazon Gift Cards from Christmas.
It's gone to a new home
Merry Christmas!

My tablet screen died and I can't get it replaced any more so I have a dock sitting around with no purpose. I also have the power adapter with it.
First person in Calgary that responds will get it free. You just have to pick it up.
Merry Christmas!
