Easiest thing would be to call their customer service. However I had good luck with the TF101 getting one when Newegg was selling them at launch and I have faith in them now. I keep checking my Pre-Order and my email as well as the sight for any updates. I've seen them update the Asus tablet page and remove the other tablets and put them back. Unless they wait until the last minute to update the page we may luck out and get it early. Otherwise they can always fallback on the fact that it says ETA and not actual release date.
For what it's worth, since I am a Campus Rep for ASUS, I can tell you all that the company has pretty strong ties with Newegg as that's who we use for our official campus store. If any company gets them on release date my bet would be with Newegg.
Just my two cents

Not wanting to read into it but is 12/8 the actual release date? Since thats the date most retailers had initally before they changed it to the following week or two afterwards. If so then I definitely expect Newegg to have it on the date listed especially since every other retailer has been covering themselves and changed their dates while Newegg hasn't.

my Bestbuy.com order status still says it gets released 12/18. I would love to get that one wrong!
Who was the source in Taiwan. Do we have someone on record as saying that? I know all of the media outlets were stating those dates on the day of the conference but I was never sure of an actual source.
What are they telling you as campus sales rep. When will you have one (or more) in hand?

I was skeptical for the same reason because no source was ever mentioned, no picture of any date was shown, nor was any video of the conference recorded.
My job is not as a sales rep... Just a Campus Rep. I'm supposed to promote the awareness and benefits of the products on campus by holding demo events, Q&A's, and reviewing new products. I'm going to contact my boss to see if I can get some more details.

I talked To a person they said they are getting them in the warehouse on the 8th and should be shipping in 1-2 business days after that! Unless they receive them early then they will start processing early...

Thanks that would be great. Sorry that I erroneously added 'sales' into your title. Not sure why I made you a salesman. I think it would help your cause on campus to be able to definitively state when the product is available. Here's to hoping your boss has an answer!

Sending an email now. I'll post when I get a response.
It would really make my weekend if they shipped it out on the 8th!! Anyone know if it is possible to change shipping address on a newegg order? Their customer rep said I couldn't change since the order was "on hold". Will be hard for me to time it right so I can change the shipping address right after they receive it, but before they ship it out...
I forgot to put my office address in there and don't want them to leave it outside my house, or worse yet - take it back to the UPS hub on the day of delivery.

I was able to change the shipping option from 3 days to next day saver and change my credit card information, with a newegg customer service rep. My pre-order # did not change and still says "ordered on 11/25" on the pre-order status of "hold"..

My Best Buy pre-order says the 18th, but I was told I'd have it on the 13th. Maybe that date is for the in store date? Hoping so!
I love Newegg, but I have had some bad experiences with their pre-order stuff. Normally the release date is wrong, it comes later than the real release date, and once I got the incorrect product. I would hope they have gotten better, but when I made my preorder I stuck to Best Buy that had a physical presence so I could return or exchange without a hassle (hopefully) if there is a problem.
However, the official release date is the 19th for the US. There have been a lot of rumors and Asus officials have no been in sync with the information, but this finally seems official.
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/11/as...ts-official-release-date-for-8th-of-december/
Nevermind the 8th in the title, this article was updated. So the Best Buy date of the 18th is probably correct because that is when they will ship it. I just hope they have enough stock.

First time doing a pre-order with Newegg personally but I've bought lots of items from them in the past and have always been really good service. Of course service will always differ from one experience to the next. The way I see it is if they do get them on the 8th and ship them then thats a plus. If they get them on the 8th and ship the following week it falls in line with that 12th date that was thrown around with the 18th. And if it's not until the 18th then well it's the same as everyone else. All that matters at this point is when we all recieve the device. Unfortunately the site you linked to doesn't have anymore concrete information than any of the other sites. They reference the launch trailer we all saw as having the date and I watched it again to make sure I didn't miss something and there is no date in that trailer. So again we are all just playing the wait game until these merchants recieve and ship out our devices.

when i ordered the OG transformer from them it was an open box 16gb on their website for $300, i ended up getting a 32gb open box in the mail though, so sometimes those little snafus are a good thing!

Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk
yeah i called about a week ago and they told me 18th to 23rd and i asked they clarify what that meant. As in day shipped or day received and the lady said 18th would be earliest day i would have it in my hands and 23rd being the latest. This was at best buy but i should also note it sounded to me like she just read off the computer a generic product shipment statement. No real knowledge when it came to the prime. This was at best buy. For anyone wondering i ordered the 27th champ. 32gb no dock. I wanna know why u think the 13th too before i get my hopes up...
**edit- I figured i should also note for people wondering this was for standard free shipping. i was talking to her about upgrading shipping and once she told me 18th to 23rd i decided to leave it alone.
Just browsing Asus's product site, I noticed that the "preorder" list had been removed (unless I'm looking at the wrong page: http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer-prime/features). I went to the "where to buy" tab and looked through some of the sites listed - a couple of places that weren't on the initial preorder list have them up now - J&R as we all know, but also allasus.com and PC Mall. I went ahead and called PC Mall to check on delivery time and the rep told me Dec. 12th. Now, of course, I doubt that is accurate, but it's news at least.
I didnt preorder and im hoping that maybe gamestop or best buy will get it in store this week. Anyone have any info?

I also was wandering if anyone has info on this. Read in another forum that a BB district manager said that they would have none in store until January. Possibly after 1/8/12.
The plan for my local gamestop was to have 4 extra units on-hand, but I'm not sure if that changed when the date went to 12/23.

Yeah nobody seems to know anything. I didnt preorder because no site hadca clue when itvwould actually ship. I didnt want to preorder and be able to buy it in store while waiting for a preorder
I tried calling all the Best Buy stores in my area, and none of them had any info for me. I called their 800 number and spoke to someone in sales who had no information either. I was planning on getting up early to get one in the morning but I'm not so sure that it's worth it without any solid information.
Ordering anything online this time of the year is nerve wrecking to begin with. But to pre order this time of year is worse. Just got an email this morning that the case i bought for TF-101 was out of stock till JAN. When i ordered it 3 days ago it would be here on Tuesday. Just the kind of luck I'm having with anything associated with the word ASUS!
Typical Android tablet marketing - zero effort. One would think Asus learned a lesson from last time. I guess they are just not shooting to be a big player in the tablet market. What a shame considering that they do know how to make the stuff.
todays the 23, the stores are open in 45 mins! Do you think i will be getting my prime today? If i call my local futureshop, staples and best buy, and they have none in stalk, is there any other way to get one?

Considering today is Friday, tomorrow is the last day of possible deliveries before Christmas. Even if there were any available online, which there aren't, it is extremely unlikely you would get one delivered by tomorrow even with overnight shipping.There are a few to none available for sale from the stores as everyone is scrambling to fill pre-orders.
In short, you're probably out of luck friend, unless by some miracle you manage to find one from a B&M store without a pre-order (unlikely).

May be worth calling some smaller computer places. Sounds like some people on here have found ones at some smaller stores.
You're not going to find them at any of the major retailers. Both Future Shop and Best Buy have stated that they will fill their pre-orders first before any make it onto the store shelves....and no one seems to have received a pre-order from them yet. The only people seeming to have success are pre-orders from other retailers or stumbling upon them at much smaller retailers. Good luck.....you're going to need it....haha

Just be wary. This store has a shaky reputation, and if it "appears too good to be true"...well, you know. IMO, the "shipment arrives at noon" already sounds like a red flag.

Last year I remember all the hype over the $100 off coupon.... so it is possible they are selling for that but just take into account that it's a vendor discount not Asus lowering the price. I guess that is just the tab only? Because the pair in the UK is £499

Every negative review I read has something to do with their online sales and deliveries but like I said we have local stores and I am picking it up there it's not being shipped.
I wonder how long best buy would honor a price...probably just your return period? This would really piss me off. I don't give a damn if it's discontinued. I love the tablet and it's look and feel. But, I would hate knowing I spent $100 extra on something that is still within my return period. I mean, they are probably going to get scalpers buying these up and reselling them.
Anyway, chime in when someone actually has one in hand. This will tank original transformer sales as well if true.

Best Buy is gonna hate this
So, all you folks who got the shaft from BB on getting Preorders on time? Try this:
Buy It Now with Confidence Best Buy will match the price if you find a lower price on an identical available product at alocal retail competitor's store, a local Best Buy retail store or BestBuy.com. Simply let us know when you are making your purchase or during the return and exchange period. Perfect Match Promise products have an extended 60-day price match period.
Sounds good for $100 to me:

Ordered from best buy the day before att allowed pre orders. Talked to them yesterday and they got phones in but not mine. They said they are getting them in order of when they were ordered and they have already received 100 of them. All I van say is that there is no way I wasn't one of the first 10 people to order, never mind 100.
Anyway now they can't tell me how long until it comes in, said it could be tomorrow or in a month. Shoulld I just order from att now or wait? How long will it take for me to get one from att? I don't know what to do.
Wait a week, if you don't have your phone from BB then grab one in store from AT&T, that or call local shops to see when they get theirs in store, because if you already paid off your pre-order to BB then the refund/reset process wont be pretty.
I call BS on them getting 100 in already. No way. I'd do what the above post said, just wait until Thursday when AT&T is supposed to have them in store. I just placed an order over the phone with AT&T on Friday, but we'll see if it gets here before Thursday. Not sure if it will...

There is a guy in the Best Buy thread who can help you. First find out what store# you preordered from (will be on your preorder agreement and/or your receipt) and post in the thread asking if he can look it up for you. He can see how many they have on hand, on order and when they'll arrive. His name is driftr319.

Pretty much....you can cancel your preorder with them and return your GC for a full refund with no problems, if you so choose. If they give you a hard time, speak to a manager and show them the verbiage on the preorder agreement you have where it states exactly that.

Yep, so much for that idea
Word on the street is that the new in-store launch date for AT&T is 6.28.12. I doubt stock levels are gonna be very high so if your intention is on getting one same day I'd suggest you get there as close to opening as you can. Same for Best Buy and other retail locations.
I can look at how many each bby store has and his many they have in order if you pm me with the store number
I would also like to add that bby has ****ty systems that aren't always accurate
