I called to double check and they said they do have it available for shipping
It's out of stock right now from both CA, CO and GA locations. Didn't try the other locations.

Yea, its out of stock in stores. But apparently not at their warehouse or so the online order support said. You can order one online, worse thing that could happen is that your order gets cancelled =P
Looks like a 15% restocking fee. Not my favorite...
Got shot down again on Price Match request with Best Buy, who said Microcenter's nearest store was too far from me to qualify. (Got shot down previously on HHGregg deal, cuz they said they didn't match online-only deals).
But lots of people do report success with the Price Match thing at Best Buy, so it doesn't hurt to try.

But if there's a defect with it, they've got to give a refund... no?

A 15% Open Box Fee will be charged on all returns and exchanges unless the product is defective and is exchanged for the identical product.

I wonder if that means they'll keep giving exchanges until you get a working one and no refunds will be given?
yep i think that's what it means
There are 10+ in stock near me in Columbus, Ohio
If I didn't have one already I'd go pick one up.
Pulled the trigger. Wish their overnight shipping wasn't $60 but oh well. Still paid under $500 with shipping and tax. SCORE!!
Can't wait
Pulled the trigger too. Will update when I get it. But Microcenter has one of the best customer service I've encountered. The manager always comes to shake my hand whenever I buy a notebook. Its kind of odd XD. So I am pretty sure they will find some way to accomindate you or at least store credit maybe?
Isn't it kinda odd seeing two companies now having it below the usual price of $500? Asus can't make them quick enough to even keep up with demand. People are waiting for these that are in backorder at other places. Why sell them for less when they will already sell out for a higher price?

Can't explain why Microcenter is selling at their price, but HH Gregg already said theirs was a mistake that they're honoring.

Microcenter is selling it at 449$ because they are the new kid on the block I think. They are offering ALL tablets at a discount of 50$.
Microcenter has been selling any Android or Windows tablet priced $299.99 and up for $50 off for months now. If you go to their website and scroll down a little, it's advertised on the right. Since they are now selling the TFP, it falls into that discount.

I can find it from the home page by searching for "TF201-B1-GR" or "Eee Transformer Tablet".
Also, the link comes up first if you do a Google search for "TF201-B1-GR microcenter" Or you can search on "TF201-B1-GR" in Google Shopping, and the link comes up.
Ok.. changed my location to Columbus/OH and the search came up. They have it in stock. I was looking at another location that didn't have any in stock and doing a search there didn't come up with any results.
best buy price match is so gay.
they seem to have the tablet in chicago, not in ny. bestbuy wont match it cuz, its more than 25 miles from my loc...
i argued that bestbuy doesnt even have it at there locations.. wtf
pisses me off i paid 499.. when hhgreg had it for 399 and now microcenter has it for 449. with a couple days.
oh wells.
I just called the bestbuy online number from the hhgregg thread and the first guy had no problem giving me my $50 refund. Took about 5 minutes on the phone and got confirmation already as well.
Just needed my online order number and then told him about the price, asked where it was, said no problem.
Not sure if this works for matching if you bought it at a store but if you bought it online should be no problem.
fyi for all of you that ordered from this place - microcenter ONLINE does not have tprimes in stock, they never had them in stock and the web site's "In Stock" status is an error. all the incoming orders are going into a queue, just like everyone else, and they are hoping to receive some in "the next week or two", just like everyone else (best buy and tigerdirect excluded from this generalization, as these seem to be the winners that most available stock is being funneled to).
Anyone know their return policy? The store in St Louis Park, MN is showing 10+ in stock which I find suspicious but I am nervous about buying from a place like this as far as returns go.
Edit - Looks like 15% restock fee but that is for online orders. I can't find anywhere it discusses tablets or orders you pick up.
Edit 2 - Meh, it just throws an error if I try to add one for in store pickup.
Edit 3 - I guess they don't like Chrome, IE worked fine. Picking it up tonight.

Just ordered with shipping time between 12/29- 1/3
32gb Grey
Just caught that one and placed an order. Got an email that says:
Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 12/29/2012 - 01/03/2012
Not going to cancel my other backordered deals with Office Depot or Amazon until I get a tracking number though.
I can't find it, link please...

Man, if Best Buy actually ships these things to people who ordered today, and don't honor their offer to switch backordered Champagne models to Grey and ship those first, I'm going to be PISSED. Yes, I'm posting this in two threads, but that just shows how pissed I am. I NEVER cross-post. Or rarely.
Damn, Best Buy, you just couldn't have screwed this up more.
I had this page open on my browser with the audible notify set to on and it worked:

Alarm went off and I had the order done in less than a minute.

Man, I feel for yah. Had a similar deal with Office Depot shipping out units to people that odered well after me while I was on backorder. If I cancel my order, someone else will just grab it up though.
I'd preferred the gold version, but this'll do.
ShopDiscover.com gives a 10% discount on purchases through bb.com
But it states: Offer not valid on laptops, desktops, hard drives, Geek Squad services, online photo center sales, digital downloads, long distance or internet sales, or mobile plans
Wonder if this tablet is considered part of the laptop/desktop restrictions.
This makes no sense if it is true. Mine is supposedly back ordered to mid Jan./Feb......
Hallelujah
I've been waiting on Best Buy to update their site for the longest.
I just ordered.
12/29-01/03/2012 is the estimated arrival , my grand total was only $529.64 after tax as I was able to use my $5 dollar off Reward Zone coupon.
and the shipping is FREE
Thanks! I just ordered. I thought this christmas was gonna be a bummer, sold my og transformer last week and was going through withdrawals.
And those backordered ppl I hope they saved some for you and send em to yall first.
Is it champagne that is backordered? I wanted grey anyways so it don't matter. Just need a dock now.
Was planning on getting from gamestop so I could get free games, but I can't wait.

So using shopdiscover.com for the 10% cash back bonus, if the bonus is given on this tablet then it'll come out to be cheaper than Amazon even with shipping.
Just bought one right now from best buy for my girlfriend.

I've been stressing all for like 2 weeks now on how I was gonna get this ting. I'm stationed in Germany and wanted to pre-order, but with so many options negated by no shipping to APO I was in a rut. YOU MADE MY DAY!
Order submitted! Estimated Arrival: 12/29-01/03/2012
Score
Just ordered, thanks for the heads up, it should arrive next week, my dock also shipped from newegg. Happy Holidays to all!!!
P.S. I'm still on the look out for a champagne one for me, wifee is all set
Glad I was able to help. I am so excited, keeping my jan. 26th amazon order for a few more days just in case. I am so glad this is almost over...
You all realize you just ordered from the company that has about 100 pages talking about how stated delivery dates are pretty much meaningless. I wouldn't cancel other pre-orders until you have a tracking number. It's hard to believe BB cleaned up their act in 72 hours.
SICK!!! OP just saved Christmas for me. Will deliver on the 27th!!!!
Modded by MBOK
My boss actually gave me an Ipad2 yesterday as a xmas bonus but I sold it last night and used that plus an extra 50 bucks to order at Bestbuy.com. I hate paying for taxes but Amazon taking too damn long!!! Thanks for heads up.

THANK you VERY MUCH. I just ordered two GREY 32 GB PRIMES from Best Buy which will be delivered on Wednesday 12/28 using your link. One of these is for a friend. This is my 5th order for the PRIME I will need to look at cancelling the other 3 (2 from Amazon and 1 from GameStop).

party pooper.
but hey wasn't it rumored that Best Buy was undergoing some mandated meeting today regarding their Christmas order commitments. I know I read it here or from the forums.bestbuy.com site.
Perhaps this is the result of that.
As stated in title, I wanna buy a prime tablet from amazon but their prices are ridiculous at the moment. The only one close to the average 499$ price tag are the used ones.
With all the problems I've been reading about this tablet, I still feel drawn to testing my luck.
The main reason I want to use Amazon is for the "billmelater" option. March is a very heavy birthday filled month in my family so I wont have the actual cash till around may.... I don't want to wait until may.
Also, if i have to start with the sending back n forth process because of light bleeds, reboots, etc etc how is the process with Amazon.com? Is it a headache?
Thanks in advance for everyone's opinion on the matter. I want to make a purchase soon so it can come tomorrow hahaha I want to play with this tablet asap.
Why not just get it new at Officedepot.com? If you order now you will receive it by "Estimated Delivery Date: 02/10/2012." Just checked for you That's where I ordered my Prime. I have no issues whatsoever No wifi/BT fallouts. GPS works great!

If you buy a used prime at $499, your not looking hard enough. But if you really want a prime here is one at jr.com:
Asus Prime Jr.com
Or go to your local BestBuy and tell the sale's clerk you want place an "OMS order SKU: 4038674" theyll ask for a mode of payment and ask you if you want if you are picking up at the store or home delivery in about a week. Even if they are out of stock at BestBuy the "OMS" will check the one of the warehouse of Bestbuy and get you one.

Because I want to pay with "Bill Me Later" so I can pay in installments or all at once within 6 months without interests rates. I don't have the option of dishing out ~550$ TODAY. So BillMeLater is my only option at the moment. I check before, I don't think Office Depot gives that option to bill later.

Would they accept bill me later that way? =/ Im almost certain the bestbuys around my area have a few in stores. I was playing with the display one all weekend and that's what fueled the fires of temptation for this device.

Not sure what you're trying to say but it seemed like "if they are selling it this close to release...." which I agree that's why im extremely hesistant. But I don't understand why the Amazon prices are so incredibly high when they are supposed to be the cheaper online stores.
I'd wait or try to find another means of paying for one new somewhere else.

The reason is that those aren't being sold by Amazon, they're being sold by other companies THROUGH Amazon's storefront. They're basically what you would find if you went to eBay--third parties selling them at a premium because demand continues to outstrip supply.

I see, so when supply starts to meet demand, Amazon will drop in prices a bit to match the norm. Guess ill be playing with the display a little longer LOL I wonder if I can get BB to sell the display to me for a reduced price >_>

Amazon doesn't control the prices for their third party vendors. Amazon just controls the prices where Amazon is the seller. As previous poster pointed out, other vendors use the Amazon storefront, which is the case here. When Amazon sells the Prime, Amazon prices it at $499.

I believe PayPal also has billmelater....don't quote me but I THINK jr.com accepts paypal ergo billmelater
as for buying it used....I agree with the others (it's most likely returned models from the early batches) b/c it's a lot more trouble than it's worth
hope that helps
I'm not sure how many TFP's have been returned, but its possible factory refurbed TFP's might be available soon at a discount. If you can wait a month, you might get a good deal.

Just to be perfectly clear, these higher-priced units are NOT being sold by Amazon, and Amazon is NOT setting the prices on them. They're being sold by 3rd parties at whatever price those 3rd parties want to sell for. Again, it's like eBay, only through Amazon's equivalent (pretty much anyone can sell things through Amazon).
When Amazon ITSELF has the Prime in stock, they sell it at the standard retail price ($499 for 32GB, $599 for 64GB).
Suppose after getting my new Note from Best Buy I decide I don't like it (or that I like the one AT&T sent me more) and I return it. Do I have to return the free flip-cover too? After all, it was free...

I don't work for best buy but I can say YES you have to return the case as well. I've never seen a retail that lets you keep the free or rebate stuff if you return it.
Typically, if you keep the freebie, the retail price of the freebie is deducted from your refund amount
In some cases the item can not be returned without all packaging and freebies
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Most of the time, if Best Buy give away free stuffs with purchase, it will show as package in the receipt. You will have to return all items in the package to get full refund.
I had the same question because i also preordered the device in store. I called best buys 1-800 but they could not help me out. So i called the store i preordered the At&t Galaxy Note at and they said that once they receive the phones an email will be sent to the email address provided to the sales associate and a phone call will be placed to make an appointment to pick up the phone on Sunday. I have not received an email or phone call so maybe my store has not gotten them in stock yet or maybe they just forgot to call me. I preordered the Note on the 5th and was the first one to preorder the phone at this specific location.

Is it Sunday? Nope
Youll get a call on sunday. Or you can just be there when they open
I know its not sunday its clearly thursday...the best buy associate stated they get them early and would give me a call once stock was received. So it means that they just have not received them early...you dont have to be a jerk about it just trying to help in this forum.
Any thruth to my thoery that BB won't get the Notes until ATT starts shipping the out tonight for their pre-order customers?
As in ATT is treating BB as a "pre-order" customer (just they'll get like 5000 phones!) thus BB will start getting phones into thier stores by Friday/Sat?
It's possible IMO. And the fact that the BB website says that preorders will ship "after 2/19" leads me to believe that as well.
The BB employee where I ordered my note said they will most likely arrive in stores at 10AM on Friday, with the latest being noon. He said to call Friday morning to check.
While I haven't been into my store in the past couple of days to see any updates, GENERALLY with pre-ordered phones..Any pre-order done in store will be available in that store on release day. No other options. Now, it's true that some stores will either miss the memo or ignore the memo and sell the phones before the release date. The company has been trying to crack down on this as far as I can tell, making sure there is more information out there about release dates on these phones.
*NOTE* I have no idea how the warehouse for Best Buy's website handles the shipping. If you did an online pre-order, there is an equal chance you will receive the phone before the 19th, on the 19th, or after the 19th.

And now I'm wondering if I like the white better than the blue!
I live 5 mins away from BB, I am going to try my luck tomorrow night. I received all the accessories needed, but no phone. Killer right there.
so i ordered two phones from best buy, took advantage of the free case and the $299 price (premier was was getting $399 at ATT site) and $50.00 Best buy card for two phones.
But i also took the free shipping? saw some comments where free shipping = 5 day shipping, not overnight shipping? is this true? may have to cancel and try my luck at store.

Yeah, my order thru BB is the same, free shipping, but equates to SLOW shipping, 5 days. And thats after BB gets the phones into them.
So if you go to BB website and look at GNote it says "ships after 2/19"
So After 2/19 equals Tuesday the 21st since 20th is a holiday, 5 days later you'll get it, so by the 27th is my guess.
I actually ordered thru BB and ATT. My ATT phone JUST shipped and will arrive tomorrow.
And now I can't cancel my BB order cause I'm within 7 days of the launch date.
So I'll have to return it as soon as I get it. Unless I return the ATT phone, but will stink if I have to set up the ATT just to turn around and wipe it and do it all over again with the BB phone.
That's my fault for being inpatient!
But seriously, even if I didn't order one thru ATT, I probably can walk into BB on Sunday and get it.
Do any stores have them available in store to pick up?
Best Buys probably will shortly, one of my contacts there shows thousands in their DC'S.

I live in fl and bought one yesterday at staples. They only had one and i snagged it but you should try calling local staples.
As the poster above stated, your best bet is to call around. I have seen them at staples, best buy, and office max while shopping for office surplies a few weekends ago however I doubt they lasted long as all the stores only had 1 or 2 on the shelf.
Denver area
There are two at my local Office Depot that have been in stock for almost two weeks, even though they don't show them available there online. I guess everyone is afraid of OD's return/exchange only policy.
I ordered mine online from them in Dec. and managed to return it for full credit later, as they didn't have a replacement in stock. Just waiting to see what new stuff is coming out, unless current prices keep dropping and temptation takes over! The Acer A510 looks interesting.
I'm in central Florida.
My local HHGreggs and Staples used to get a trickle in every week, but they are no longer carrying them.
I returned my defective TFP on Wednesday to BestBuy. They had no more in stock and told me they had none on order.

FYI - I started a thread for this, addressed specifically to Gary. Mod closed the thread and said something along the lines of "What's next, complain that there are no Yugo's available!".
He had a point. I never considered Asus the "Yugo" of tablet makers, but with the number of complaints, maybe we should.
It goes out of stock / Sold out!!!

OP, you should try Staples as posted by skr_xd or Walmart.
Got mine in Staples store with no wait or shipping fee.
Nice tablet but be aware of the light bleeding and battery life though!

That's why I'm hesitating to get it anywhere else but the Playstore. Was hoping the newer model versions will have some of these defects lessened.

That also means that its a bigger headache if you are wrong and the defects are still there. Main reason why i bought it from a store is so that I can exchange/return it without a restock fee and shipping

Beat me to it...Staples has an extended returning policy until Jan 15 2013, so I can return it in case I change my mind or find a better deal unless they price match.
I cannot say for sure but based on information I collected across the forums and in store, It looks like Staples and Walmart are getting two units per shipment, so you can get one if you are persistent.
Just left Walmart here in Abingdon, MD and they had two in the case

They do have them in stock at my staples here... maybe I'll jump ship and go this route.
On Walmart they are available. Ship to either home or store

Yes, but be quick though or get the one from Staples first before cancelling your order, they are a few units and are selling like hot cake
Staples employees were actually surprised when I asked and they realized they had one in stock so in my case I was kinda lucky nobody noticed it before I arrived.
I know isn't something cheap but the demand still higher than the supply.

Maybe it is just me but I don't see it available on Walmart.com.

Thanks! For some reason my searches for Nexus on Walmart site are bringing only the 7"model.
Just tried Walmart again and it worked just fine. 7:17am eastern time (New Jersey). Showing in stock with delivery on or before 12/24. You might want to check the Staples site again too. They had them back in stock online as of yesterday.

My wife was able to pick one up at our local Staples today. She called and they actually had multiple in stock. Judging from the website we also would have been able to get one from our local Walmart, but we didn't verify after Staples worked out.

Just bought a 32gb from Staples, got 5% discount from their staples rewards and no waiting game!. This thing is amazing. I think it worked out pretty alright.
Didnt notice any light bleed on mine that everyone has been complaining about. I did notice that the seals were cut before purchasing. Manager said when he put the sample up, he noticed it and saw that all boxes had the seals cut. Not sure what it was but just a couple of dust specs on the screen plastic cover but nothing else. Noticed it was turned out a couple of times in the battery stats but no system information was inputted or setup.
Loving this tablet, my first. Just waiting for my case to come.
damn that sucks
16 gig is out of stock too!! Dam! Was going to order this week!

I got very lucky, ordered mine 12/12 and not even an hour later they were sold out. Mine will be here later today, and i can't wait!!! (btw i ordered the 32gb model)
