Where to buy prime in a local store in NJ - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

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.

Did you check Microcenter I picked up my second one at the Paterson location. We are also in delivery range of B & H photo. If you did have to return it you could do it in person at the Manhattan brick and mortar location. Got my first one from them.

Got mine today at Fry's!

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!
Did they have docks?

Dude, I would call asap and get there as fast as I can if I were you.

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.

Prime in Sacramento Valley

Finally ready to pull the trigger on the Prime, and I can't find one *anywhere*. Does anyone have a line on where they can be found? I tried both Sacto and Roseville Fry's, Best Buy in Stockton and Elk Grove, not sure where else to look: ideas?
Thanks much if anyone has a line.
You are in the same boat and area I am. I have all but resigned myself to waiting for fry's or best buy to get it.

I'm in Sac too, but I'm on the Amazon waiting list... Have you tried calling local GameStops? Some people on the forums got lucky and found one in stores. Some people have had luck just stalking the Newegg/TigerDirect/BestBuy pages until they show they are in stock again. Personally I'm sticking to Amazon waitlist, hopefully won't be much more than 2-3 weeks.
Hadn't thought about Gamestop, thanks both of you.
Fyi the Closest tablet gamestop is in vacaville.
I would check out frys every day just call and ask. When the tf101 had availability issues that's where I was able to find one.
I lucked out on bestbuy.com and got mine on wednesday, just still looking for a dock.

This can't be real can it? Transformer Prime for 330$?

I was looking to buy the transformer prime and I came across this site where the prime is 330$ there is no way that this is real. Has anyone heard of them before I order? http://www.vendio.com/stores/phonew...t/asus-transformer-prime-tf201-b/lid=24274843
If it looks to good to be true it usu...**** it, it IS too good to be true.
Looks like a scam site.
Lol,
Just Google Vendio and Scam.....
Edit: I can't read..... what they said ^^^^
I would be wary, after all these tablets are still going for around $6-700 on eBay.
Why would this person sell one for half that?
every site on google said they were a scam
It's a scam. I

BestBuy.com has gray dock in stock!

Ok. So, I don't know if this has been posted already but I looked and didn't see anything. If it has been posted, MODS please delete.
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.

[Q] Refurbished Prime or TF700

Hi all.. I just sold my Nexus 7 on ebay because I wanted the ability to connect HDMI. Moving up, I won a bid on a Prime on Ebay, but the seller is playing nasty and I haven't received it. That being said, I'm a few days from getting my money back and am wondering if a Prime is the best way to go - after reading about a few of it's issues. Right now I can buy a refurb Prime for $299 locally, or, Sam's has a TF700 for $439. What do you guys & gals think??? Thanks for your help in making the right choice..
Still got garbage memory with lags, just like the prime. Avoid both and get a nexus.

Did you not read that he sold his Nexus?
I bought my Prime off Swappa and I don't have any of the problems that are mentioned about wifi, or lag. I have yet to play with gps as I didn't buy this for navigation. IMO, if you have the money get the Infinity. Latest and greatest and it has the abilities that you want.

Latest and greatest would be the nexus 10. I wouldn't buy another Asus with this cheap memory if my life depended on it. Yes it was the best at the time, but only because everything else sucked so hard. Now we have options.

I also have had more than acceptable WiFi performance and haven't seen all the "problems" others report. Not saying they are wrong - just that it works fine for my needs. I don't care about GPS. I went ahead and got the free Asus dongle but have never even used it. I even stayed on the stock ROM until JB came along and I lost root. Now I'm using Androwook 1.51 which was really easy and is basically the stock ROM Asus should have made. I'd agree the infinity but if you want to save the money, I think about the only thing the extra dollars would get you is the higher res screen - so you decide if its worth it to you.
I would seriously consider the Galaxy Note 10.1. I think it knocks spots of the Prime (I own both) but then I am one of the unlucky ones who got a bad egg. (just about to RMA the Prime for the second time)
Regards,
Les
