Prime showing up in BestBuy stores (report claims - 12/30) - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Not entirely sure how credible the source is but according to this article:
"Although Best Buy has reported its stock shortage, a new report indicates that some tablets have featured in stores and can be purchased behind the counter for $500"
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/274460/20111230/asus-transformer-prime-sale-best-buy-stores.htm
I may have to stroll over to my local BestBuy and see if they have any "behind the counter".

If you look for it on Google shopping it looks like some best buy stores show up. Around me there are 3 this morning when there was only 1 last night.
BB website says "coming soon" only still...

Look at your latest thread bro!!!

I bought mine yesterday off BB.. it should be here the 4th For anyone that needs directions to get there to get the gray one (which seems weird to only have that one version in stock and it's not showing when you search for it..) go to asus.com and then search for the Prime, click on preorder, then select BB in the box that pops up, and it should link you to the Gray version of the Prime, last I checked it's still available.

Official Asus Sleeves in stock now

The official Asus sleeve is in stock now at their online shope in the UK.
Here: http://shop.asus.co.uk/shop/gb/en-G...0--ASUS-Eee-Pad-Transformer-TF101-Sleeve.aspx
Price isn't to bad so ordered one with a my 10% off code.
I ordered one too. Didn't have a discount code though.
Hopefully they will deliver quickly.

i ordered one too after having my order from amazon cancelled yet again!
Thanks for the heads up bud.
Just a heads up that although this website is AsusUK, the sleeves are actually being delivered from Germany and although its says dispatched within 24 hrs it still takes several days for them to arrive.
I was thinking that for £6 UPS it should come next day. I need to read the small print more thoroughly in the future.
My order status says "In process" but when I phoned the customer service number they said it had been shipped but there are no tracking details. She said I should have it within 5 days. I would have thought the status should say shipped and I would have expected an email to tell me that too.
I have already cancelled one order from Asus Laptops after waiting 2 weeks and being fobbed off by them several times with ficticious dates.
I have now had an email from them saying it has been shipped and the order status has updated to shipped with a UPS tracking code so obviously it hadn't shipped at the point the lady said it had. Expected delivery is Thursday according to UPS website.
Yep, got my confirmation email earlier too and mine also says delivery for this Thursday!
Thanks for sharing...now to keep a look out for the USB adapter...
Just ordered one.
Deffo comes from Germany. I paid with Paypal through their .com site yet the invoice came from .de

Excellent, as i was going through checkout i paused and registered the device on vip.asus.com as itt registered a pop up with 10% off code appeared so used that for a few pounds off, top job
So what do you think of the sleeve. Mine arrived yesterday. It is OK but is not worth the price.
The one position stand is a pain since a lot of games like angry birds don't rotate so are upside down if you turn the pad upside down for the low stand position.
I will be keeping an eye out for a better one.

Many shops are sending their stock back to HP to be sold at hp.com. That's why they are only temporarily out of stock. You can have them e-mail you when they are back in stock.

Ordered one from Erwin Comp. Make sure you guys use Google Checkout just in case. They seem fairly reputable from what I read on reviews online. Let's hope they don't cancel my order like B&N did. I'm only buying just one, not in it for the resales.
Just now ordered 1 from erwincomputers.com It says item "In-stock". Hope its true and goes through. I also used the google checkout since I am not familiar with this website.
Their online ratings are horrible.
That being said....we shall see.
I used Google Checkout AND my American Express....just in case.
AmEx is awesome at disputes should Erwin decide to hose me.
I was gonna get another one from Erwin comp but after reading the reviews changed my mind. Just gonna wait until Wednesday.
Might want to check your local Best Buy stores today or at least find out when their trucks come. From what I've been told, they are gonna have them. Don't know if they will have a limit or not. Good luck!!!

I thought all inventories were going back to HP's warehouses....
For 100 bucks...or even 149, these make nice coffee table tablets for the net, music and browsing. I don't need 100K apps...but for 100 bucks, IMO, these are a better offering than the bottom of the line, 1.6 or 2.2 android cheapo tablets.
Samsung just lost a lawsuit over in Europe. There's a chance they might be stocking up as well.....
yarp - certainly do - im in the uk and ive just ordered 5 of them from insight (they are one of our suppliers here at my workplace - i got 5x 32gb versions for 120 quid each)
I spoke to them first thing this morning and they were waiting for the price drop which came at 1pm today - then he phoned me - stock says that they had about 500 or so. goodluck.
My mate just bagged on about 10 minutes ago, so they still have them....

Insight is reputable, our company use them all the time. However just spoke to ur rep and they are sold out. Back to the drawing board for me
erwin is out of stock.
Hope they actually had them in proper numbers so i get one.
Insight is throwing up an error when I attempt to checkout, using either mastercard or visa. In stock shows 746 units...
yup - theyve gone off of insight...our rep said they shifted 1300 in an hour....i think this will be the tablet of choice for hacking now....

BEST BUY AVAILABLE NOW!!!Gray Dock AND 32gb Gray Prime

Both the Grey Transformer Prime 32GB and the Grey Dock are available for purchase NOW on BestBuy.com
Prime:

Just picked up the dock. Thanks
I am wondering why the gray TFP is not available when you do a regular search. I had to do a google search to find it. It's under Other Product Categories and then Exclusive Offers categories where it can not be found by searching. It's a good thing for me since it's hard to find I was able to buy one earlier today.

None that I know of yet, but there are quite a few for the og transformer so I'd assume they will come out for the prime soon.

Back in stock, guys!
EDIT: Tablet only, BTW. Sorry to those who may have jumped thinking the dock was available.
Tablet's still up as of this edit!
I went ahead and put my order in online. I too find it odd that you must go thru the Asus site or use the SKU to search for the prime on the Best Buy site. At any rate, they quoted me an in-store pickup date of 1/14/12. Hope that actually comes to fruition.
I just got my first prime today. Everything seems fine but two stuck pixels in the center of the screen. One green, one red. None of the "fixes" I have looked up online work so I ordered up another and will return this one. I will continue this process until I get a perfect one.

hahahahaha. That is true! But I am strong and I can refrain from hitting.....the.....butt...on.....phew time to log off and shut the computer down. It's to hard not to order it, but I WILL HOLD OUT FOR the BB Champagne
I received my tracking number already. I have to wait for it to be in the system though. My dock is suppose to arrive today, bought it on Newegg though. I'm returning my defective one in on Monday.
Ordered mine yesterday when it first became available and I just got my tracking code! Can't wait!
Ordered one yesterday. Waiting on tracking number anxiously.

Can't find a Nexus 10 at Wal-Mart!!!

I am going crazy here! I have called nearly every Wal-Mart in town and no one knows ANYTHING about the Nexus 10. Does anyone have a UPC number from Wal-Mart they can share? Then maybe I can get these guys to look this up.
#CashBurningWholeInPocket
My local Walmart mentioned that they don't expect to carry it until, at the earliest, the following week after release.

Walmart is basically a wast of time no one seems to know anything. I'm never going back! The electronics department reminds me of 60's decor, they actually had a pastel green/blue computer. Google should rethink who they associate with.

That thread is a wasteland that's impossible to find anything in.
I finally found a competent employee at Walmart last night. The guy had his nerd on and knew exactly what I was talking about, he said the lack of information they've been given about it says they're at least a week away. His best advice was to keep checking their website and have it delivered to the store when it does come in stock.

then i assume your not buying the Nexus 10 because it was designed by a guy that wears oddball pastel shirts and is generally an oddball dude right?

First-world problems, indeed.
I would agree with most people saying that google shouldn't sell to Walmart, but in some ways I prefer them over best buy. I mean best buy would be great if they could keep anything that is even remotely popular in stock. On at least three occasions I have gone their and tried to buy products that aren't even in high demand and every time I have had to either go to another store or order it off amazon.. I wish amazon wasn't their direct competitor, because it would be so much easier to order from them.
Wallyworld has the best return policy called no questions asked.

yeah I went by walmart on my way home from work today and they didn't know anything about it but had about a dozen nexus 7's :/
I'm guessing it won't be until next week maybe that there will be some sort of availbility on google's website such that I won't have to watch the web site like a hawk and refresh every 5 minutes.

The skew number for the Walmart Nexus 10 is.... 88727601774 however, it won't give associates any info on arrival, only that it is in the system.
Out of frustration and impatience. Just bought a Note 10.1 from my Walmart. Sometimes you just have an itch. Hopefully the Nexus 10 arrives during my return window.

Since no B&M stores have it, I am wondering if Google pulled their intended stock to meet Play Store demand. Why there is no word on when they will start showing up?? How about an announcement with an expected arrival time. It's like all the info is top secret or something and we play guessing games.

Possibly, but the Nexus 4 sold out too yet if you go to any O2 store you can ask them and they'll have one. So I'm not sure about that.

This WalMart thing is killing me. I was planning on just ordering the 16GB from the Play Store, but I have 35 dollars in a WalMart gift card, and with the shipping costs I would save picking it up at a store, it would only be like 50 more out of pocket for the 32 GB model.But since not all WalMarts are going to be even carrying it, I might be waiting around for nothing.

Even if it takes a week or so to ship, would rather they take the money and stop me from spending it
Now i just gotta get their playstore to respond so i can get my details submitted.
I imagine this is simply them implementing a pre-order system as opposed to being able to deliver any stock. Works for me though. With my hours as a chef chances are every time it came into stock i'd be unable to grab one

Haha, I had auto refresh on to notify me when it came in stock while I was watching tv! Ordered mine and came here to tell everybody but appears other people already got the word out
16gb ordered! Had been after the 32gb originally but i don't play any intensive games, as such large games, i have a computer for that, i have my music on my phone on a 32gb sd card, and anything i desperately need that won't fit on the thing i can keep on an sd card with OTG cable This is mainly just a machine for at home and occasionally on the coach or in the tent etc, so seemed daft to spend an extra £70 for a measly increase in memory.
I will in UK 2more weeks. Do you think google will ship it sooner than 2weeks?
saw somewhere on the www the delivery time in the US is 3-5 business days...it'll be nice to have my hands on it sooner but it doesn't matter as long as i know mines on order.
I hope there are still some left in the morning when the guy who orders stuff at work gets my email.

The number of refreshes, and in the end having to use internet explorer intsead of chrome, just to place the order, let alone the 2-3 week shipping time, google are not filling me with hope, I really would have expected better from one of the bigger companies in the world.

How do you check? I had a look on Google Wallet under transactions and it says nothing about 2-3 weeks, pending etc... The only thing i can see is
Delivery (Two Day): £9.99
Which i assume is the charge only.
Just ordered mine this morning and everything went through OK
I suspect the 2-3 weeks is just Google covering their backsides and expect some will be delivered earlier.

Curiously it say when ordering that the money will not be taken from my account untill the Nexus is ready to ship yet the money has gone from my account within minutes of ordering
HMMMMMMM
so im little bit scare to order it when the availability is 2-3weeks and i will be in UK only till November:crying:

i had the same thing, called them this morning and the adviser said that the money was only in the 'authorization' and wont be debited from the a/c till after it is shipped. but bottom line is that part of my credit limit is not available to me anymore so they might as well have taken it.
