Hey everyone!
I just ordered the Transformer Prime tablet bundle from Gamestop because it said it was available and would ship in 24 hrs. What are the odds I'm actually going to get this??
I originally preordered a champagne one from bestbuy. tried to extend the backorder, but bestbuy cancelled it anyway
I really want this tablet and if this works I'll make sure to report back as it would be the only place in the US that this thing is shipping from.
They've been in stock and shipping from Amazon for the last 2 days

The odds of 24 hour Sent shipping costs depends on your location

Wish I'd known that... (Its way overpriced though) I was just skeptical that's why I asked because if you want to just buy the tablet without the bundle, they are sold out.

Can you still cancel the order?
Just got a call from them to verify the order. Idk if I can cancel the order. I wouldn't know where to look.

I ordered mine from gamestop last night but my friend ordered it a few days ago and already revived his.
I got mine from Gamestop. But make sure you back up those games they put on there. A soon a you upgrade to ICS, you will need to wipe everything, and will lose them! They told me everything would stay, but I couldn't connect to my home wifi until I wiped. I phoned Gamestop and they won't replace the games.
The extra price is for the game controller they send with it. Otherwise it is just $499.

youll loose the games after ICS/wipe but its android. apps are easy to find for free.

Awesome. That makes me feel so much better! Now I got to figure out where I can get my hands on a dock.

I got all my stuff from gamestop an when i ugraded I didnt have to do a wipe. And i still have all my games. I dont understand why you guys are needing to wipe. I have not had problem one with mine.

Thanks so much SD!!! Just ordered the dock to ship to store. Looks like I'm set! I'm rooting so shouldn't be a problem upgrading to ICS. Titanium backup ftw. Thank you everyone for relieving my skepticism and helping me out!!

I wish I did the backup first. I phoned Gamestop about getting the apps back, they were "unable" to help me. If you guys find a way to get them, please let me know!

Well, at the moment I can only see the AC adapter and it's out of stock.
eh give them some time. there is still a lot of the day left
Don't even know why you would buy from there. AC for $49.99
I got nothin so far.
Wasn't the ac adapter 29 like a month ago? Then 39, now 49 LOL. What a joke.

I could acess it but whats the use? I bought a charger for 29.99 I already have a folio case thats just as good
what else do they have...maybe a link to a versin of Android that their keyboard doesn't lag on? A link to somthing google makes that isn't as highly hyped that actually works as stated? browsers that browse like other browsers?
I doubt it happens even in ICS which BTW is supposed to work on all Android devices? Show me
They haven't impressed anyone so far
Hey DilloDroid you're a dildo. Man you're in an Android forum ripping on Android. I don't think you'll get very far doing this. This is like the second or third thread I've seen you *****ing in. Dude give it a rest. If you don't like it return it / sell it. Geez what a tool

I bought a new ASUS AC charger from Office Depot for $29. The reason being that if I loose or misplace my original, there is no other way to charge the thing!
I'm happy to say that I got mine today at Fry's in Manhattan Beach, CA. They had 4.
This really made my day but also annoyed that the whole pre-ordering is flawed.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Don't call! I did that last night and got nowhere. I was told to check online and select to ship in store to see if there's inventory.
Guys, just try to go. You'll know they sell it if you see the sign $499 where all the tablets are.
Bought mine around 11am. Only the 32G-Grey.
Just called.... one in stock but might be display model. He said fountain valley has 4 in stock.

i had the lady check the local inventory over the phone, the two in this area did not have any in stock. she took her time and checked each color/hd size specifically.
They do not have them on display in Fountain valley. I was there yesterday picking up a few things and checked the tablet area only had a TF101 on display. Fry's is generally clueless on what they have in store let alone what they do not display.

I guess they sold out then, rather than not getting any. I actually was at Fry's (Northgate one) two days ago (Thursday) and they had them in stock. I bought a 32 GB grey TFP.
Later that day I played with it and I found out it had a stuck pixel on it. I tried running a pixel fix, but it didn't work. When I called Fry's to check if they had any in stock still, the Northgate one didn't. But Roseville actually did. They had 6 in stock of the grey 32GB TFPs (probably also other models. Didn't check). So I rushed out there and swapped my TFP.
I was somewhat shocked to see they put my old TFP back with a $25 discount sticker on it without mentioning the dead pixel...
Just picked up a gray one from Manhattan beach. I think the employees are stashing them. First one said out of stock and second guy kinda didn't want to sell it to me. He tried to sell me the original one.

Yep i had auto reply set up at newegg and nowinstock. I got the newegg notification and ordered it in about 45 seconds. I was well beyond confirming my order by the time nowinstock emailed me. Just a thought for those who really want one.
My order has been successfully charged. Hopefully they only do that when they confirm stock.
I also had to cancel an abe order.

I just found out why I couldn't find the gray dock on Best Buy's website. It does not show up if you search for anything that has "Transformer or Prime" in it. You have to search for "Asus portable dock."
However, they do have it and it is in stock now. I just placed my order finally!

Picked one up yesterday. They had to get the last one from the back and confirm that they are not holding it for anyone. Sales guy said that every time they get those, people descend upon the store like locusts and sweep them up lol.
ugh. showed 1 ready for in-store pickup in my area. ordered it and canceled my amazon order. Now I get an email that says the dock isn't available at the location and to call bestbuy. They dont have any in the phoenix area at all and the soonest they'll get them is the 29th. Now cheapest on Amazon is $277.
Thanks, I cancelled my Amazon and ordered from Best Buy. It will arrive the day after I get my 64GB Prime.
I had posted another thread that indicated that 384 primes were in the BBuy warehouse in St. Louis. I made a purchase on the 20th and will get the prime on the 26th. Dock is also in stock. I do think they are getting a mass amount of primes at the stores in the very near future.
After reading a bunch of reviews on the transformer prime im looking to buy one at a store around my area. Mainly im looking for c3 batch and so that if theres any problem with the unit i can easily exchange it. I tried bestbuy but theyre all out of stock. They wont give any info on when theyre going to have new stocks. Heard about rumors that they wont be selling primes anymore for different kinds of reason. Dont know if any of this is true but i dont want to be left waiting for nothing. If anyone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction i will gladly appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks for the help. They aswell are out of stock. Found out about acer iconia a510 and im loving the reviews ive been reading. I will buy this instead. This lack of stocks for the prime is prolly one of those blessings in disguise!

Check Gamestop's website. You can take a look at the stock at different local stores.
I picked up one from the Woodbridge Center Gamestop about a week and a half ago. It was a C2, though. And also be aware that I don't think you can straight-up return it for a refund if you don't like it. You can only get a replacement if it's defective, I believe. Has some decent games preinstalled, though.
Good luck.
