get over it. What the hell is the problem waiting an extra few days!? Are you going to die without your Nexus 7? No. Now, paying for shipping when people are picking them up from B&Ms without paying shipping, and not pre-ordering, that’s not terribly nice… It would be kinda nice if El Goog would reimburse for shipping, or tack on some extra Google Play credit…

I was able to pick mine up at 10:30am CST yesterday from GameStop. I didn’t see anyone else in the store. This article must be about me…..

Dam, sounds as bad as verizon’s customer service. Don’t know what they are talking about, or just saying what ever it takes to get you off the phone. Thanks to droid life for doing what none of the companies can do.I wonder if Kellex can track down your order too : P

Question: Anyone who got their Nexus 7 today, did you buy a protective screen for it? Just curious as not really sure if I should yet. Thanks!

Just picked up my Nexus 7 from GameStop about an hour or so ago and have it up and running.

Can’t believe how insanely fast and fluid the animations are, from transitioning from screen to screen, opening up apps, etc. Haven’t played a game yet but definitely getting there.

Also, about the $25 Play Store credit; what’s funny is that the GS employee told me that I’d not be getting a $25 Play Store credit, BUT a $50 Play Store credit instead. I was like, “WHAT?! Are you sure?” Then the dude goes on and says, “Yep, what it says in the e-mail that we received today from Corporate.”. I was like “Hell yeah, thanks!” Then I headed home.

Anyways, after getting my N7 set up with my regular e-mail I’ve always used with my Android devices, I got a notice saying “Enjoy your $25 Play Store credit!” or whatever it said. So nope, no $50 credit. Was a bit too good to be true. Ah well, just glad to finally have my N7 at last!

Thanks GameStop!

So…I had a thought…yeah just the one…this is kind of Google’s first really big launch of an actual hands on product. I get that they’re having some growing pains, and it’s tough, but try to remember any other device that had a long wait period for it to actually get released. I’m not techy, but the one that comes to mind was the Galexy Nexus, what was that, last November? That was a catastrophe! I remember the threads and how Radio Shack accidentally sold some and it was a whole nightmare of delay delay delay for months. At least this is only a week or two.

UPDATE: Just got back from my local GameStop with my Nexus 7! OH hell yeah! Can’t wait to boot it up, charge it, and finally just take in the excellence that is the N7!

Now I am so glad that I didn’t pre-order from the Google Play Store. So damn glad!

During my quest to find a Gamestop who would sell me one today (which I did find one and I did buy it) I was told this same date of August 2nd. But I was also told date of July 17th and 18th for when they would get more. 1 Store told me August 2nd and 5 told me July 17/18th.

I called about 6-8 GameStops in the Milwaukee area, they all said they only ones they have are the ones that were pre ordered and that I could come in to the store on Saturday and get on the next wave of Pre Orderes (they were all unable to access the pre order information today for whatever reason.

But the last GameStop I called had a Nexus 7 that was not pre ordered, so I drove over, walked in and bought it.
