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).

well ill be calling now.
Lemme know if you find anything... then there's always Kijiji or Craigslist. I've seen some for 750$. 200$ more than what I would be paying? Screw that.

called em all, and nooooo luck
damn, looks like im waiting till my preorder comes in.
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
Did it launch in Canada? Thought it got delayed...

Just went to my local bb store this morning in Ithaca NY and they had the 32 gb prime in stock with the keyboard dock. I purchased one and I am loving it!
I've been going to the local BB near me to check the availability of the Prime for about 3 weeks. On Saturday, I visited a BB to purchase a case for my daughter's cell phone. I Checked to see if they had the Prime. This particular store had just received their shipment. They only received 1 tablet. I immediately purchased it. Very happy so far.

I added one to my cart on their website and selected ship to store. I put in my zip code and it showed that a few of the stores had them in stock, but most were a sip to store option 3-5 days. So maybe if you tried that to see if any store near you has them in stock. If it claims it on the website, call the store and ensure that they do before going so you won't get your hopes up.

I tried the vestal store on Saturday and they didnt have any, but will do ship to store and have it in a couple of days.
I just got mine at BB. Walked in to kill time and decided to ask because I saw the shelf tag. They just got 2 in their shipment and myself and another guy both asked about it at the same time lol.

So I called the BB in our area which shows the Prime in stock. The lady I talked to said they didn't have any, so I told her I saw online they had it. She finally admitted that they have it but are not allowed to sell it until Sunday the 29th because she says the Prime will be on their Sunday ad.
What if I just went there do you think they would sell it to me ?
I would go in and play dumb. Tell them that it shows it in stock in the store so you came in to buy it. It's easy for them to deny you on the phone, but in the store it's harder. If they try and deny you the buy, ask to speak to a manager. Also see if you can buy online and pick up in store. They would have to sell it to you that way as well.

Oh, and the lady also said if I ordered and did store pickup then the order would be cancelled because they are not allowed to sell it yet. Not sure how they can do that ... some guys in this thread have already purchased theirs in store just this week ...
I would ask to speak with the store manager at that point. It's a binding contract once you buy. If they cancelled it on me after I bought it online and drove to pick it up, I would want some kind of retribution, kinda like a restocking fee if I bought it and returned it because I no longer needed it.

That is very strange. I did a search of the Best Buys in NYC and noticed that a few of them showed them in stock online. I spoke to the rep at the Chelsea store and they had just received a few of them in stock today and she put one on hold for me to pick up tonight.
Been checking BB online now since late late December. No BB store within 100 miles has had any. Just so happen to check the independent BB Mobility stores and they had one! After a 2 hour round trip, I finally have a Prime! Very nice so far. Very hesitant on the ICS update tho, looks like it can bring more heartache than joy.....
Ok, so this morning i found out one of the BB's near me had some in stock and the others are ship to store, so i bought one for store pick up. When i got there the guy told me that this morning they were informed that they are not allowed to sell it yet but since i was able to do so online they sold it to me anyway
I checked again BB's website just now and the ASUS prime now shows unavailable for all stores and the ship to store option gone ...

That sounds fishy....I can't imagine they would not sell it to you if you were there in person. Especially if you talked to a manager and made a big deal about it

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

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.

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!

Hi there,
Wondering if the Nexus 9 will be appearing in the upcoming Black Friday frenzy.
Perhaps any deals can be shared here.
Thanks.
Anything?
I have not seen any mention of the N9 being on sale for Black Friday.
Since the only brick and mortar store that carries it is at Best Buy, it's not in there Black Friday add.
Maybe they'll have it for Cyber Monday.....but I doubt it, it might be to new of a device to put on sale already.
Amazon is currently $50.00 off both 16gb and 32gb. Not sure how long it will last.

I haven't seen any other Black Friday deals although HTC has a weekly deal that promises to have the Nexus 9 again (it was there 2 weeks ago) for $199. You have to be quick though as people snatch them up fast.
Every Tuesday at 12pm EST the deal will show at: http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-hot-deals/

Not anymore. It was on their cyber monday deal page under the tablet promotions.
I checked today and it did not appear. Although we did just get back from the store trading in a used tablet and the deal was still active. Today is supposed to be the last day though I believe.
Now, you can get nexus 9 16 GB for $349.99 plus $50 google play store gift card at Amazon.

I didn't buy it, just share this information with anyone who is interested.
I think Amazon says they will issue you gift card few working days after you purchase. There's some information about how it works at top of that page.
Edit: here's the information from website.

Terms and Conditions
The promotion applies only to products sold by Amazon.com. Offer good while supplies last.

Guys ymmv. I was just able to order from best buy a lg g watch for $99. She said they don't normally honor apple and other carriers but they wood override it. Awesome deal!
Congrats! I am planning on stopping in to best buy, I'll try and get a price match there. Hopefully they can do it
I tried to get a price match at bedt buy using the google play store and they wouldnt. They arent prive matching black friday items.
So i bought it anyways. They said i had till january to orice match or return. I figured it get to 99 again this month. Also if i dont end up likinh it i still have a month which is nice.
Got in the car and googled it and found this post. Went back in and talked to customer service. Verizon is not a black friday deal, so they matched it.
Went back to car and redeemed the google credit and that all worked as well.
So i got the google deal basically and have the watch in my hands now.

You make sure they have your email address at checkout. Then you get the $50 offer with your receipt and a copy emailed to you.
BestBuy already has $50 Play credit for the LG G Watch and most other android wear too.
I am going to try this Verizon matching thing, but I have not yet.
Good luck to all.

? What? Thanks man! Calling in for price adjustment!
Sent from my Verizon LG G3 using Tapatalk
Just came back from my local BB and got the last 2 in stock! Saw it was sold out online and they didn't pick up the phone since it seemed a lot of people on hold ahead of me. Saw the reddit thread that people went in the store and found some. Got a black and a white, both for the 80 bux price each and the google play credit too Time to set it up!!
Yeah calling did me no justice in getting the $20 price difference credited. They said since it's out of stock and since they already did one price adjustment, and that since I already redeemed the Google play gift card, even buying one at a store now and returning the first order wouldn't work. I'm going to call back once more tomorrow and if I get tips no ill live with it.
Now lol had I paid 149 on Thursday and not $99 I'd be livid if they didn't adjust it.
It's interesting to see on best buy that the $50 Google play egift card says it's for Google wallet. I was able initially thinking the money could be used for merchandise or maybe possibly even on Google wallet transactions. But I'm not gonna complain!

Back in stock on bestbuy.com! Get them while they are hot!
sold out again
Wasn't clear from reading this... will Verizon do a price refund/adjustment to match BestBuy (ordered one for $100 online Thursday)? Also, will Verizon give the $50 Google Play credit (is it Google Play and BestBuy only)?
EDIT: chatted with Verizon sales rep... they do NOT price match. they do NOT have the Google Play $50 credit. No stocking fee on accessory returns : 1-800-922-0204, they are available between 6am and 11pm.

the $50 credit is on your receipt from best buy you have to put in a redeem code at the play store.
Just got back from the store. They price matched the 79.99. This was also already on top of my first price match of 149 to 99.
One clerk said they can't do it since its a cyber monday sale and they didn't have it in stock. I told them that it was on sale yesterday. So they tried to see if they could do it anyways and they were able to. The other clerk liked the price and is now pondering on trying to get one online if it comes back in stock.
The play store credit does have the code on the original receipt for those that were curious on how you claim it. At least how its done if you purchased in store.
