Gamestop selling N7 for pre-order for $249..?? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got of the phone with Gamestop and they told me that they don't have stock of the N7 but is avliable for pre order on a "Uknown Availability Date".
And to add the icing to the cake they will be selling it for $249.99 + Tax.
Does any one know where I can buy a N7 at a local store? I am in Las Vegas, NV
[UPDATE]:
The District Manger of the Gamestops in my area told me the N7 will be avliable on September 30th, 2012.

Curious, but what price were you wanting it to be?
If you're looking for the $199 (8gb) version, that's only available via the Play Store.

$249 is normal price for a 16GB. If you want to walk in and buy one, I suggest checking Sams club or Staples.

Staples is your best bet, got mine from there.

I called around the Staples locations in my area and found one that was well-stocked after I ran out of patience with GameStop. I was in the second wave of preorders with them, but when I called and asked for an update, they told me that wave wouldn't be coming in until September 30. I'm sure that's a pessimistic estimate, but I didn't see the sense in waiting for weeks on end when I could get it immediately.

Gamestop has kind of a layway where you can put a minimum payment on a pre order, in tgis case it is $50, and then you keep making payments, only benfit of waiting till sept 30 with them

I preordered mine early the day they were first offered and got the same email - the 20th. Going to think about it but I will probably cancel and try to find a way to get it sooner from somewhere else.
I think I can live without a tablet for a couple of days, at significant savings on tax. I'm sticking with my Amazon order.
I ordered it then remembered i live in nyc and went to union square and got it.. I didnt get a email from amazon saying when i would get it though lmao

But if you have it shipped to a California address, Amazon still changes you CA tax.

Someone know somehing about J&R pre-order ship day? i was thinking about cancel that preorder and do it in amazon.
No tax for Cali and no stupid recycle tax
I think Amazon will have it before their "projected" date. They usually do. I'll bet it's delivered between 15th & 17th.

Can't compete with OP's price, but Gamestop sells tables, the tf300t being one of them and they load them with ~15$ worth of games for free.
Yes, this deal is in store only - in fact, at the Micro center near me, they don't even have it on display. I called beforehand just to make sure, and sure enough they had 19 units in stock.
It's the best deal on a 32gb tablet bar none.

Bummer here, the nearest MicroCenter to me is 170 miles south in Santa Clara, no worries I got it for $394 on Amazon, which isn't bad considering how awesome it is.

LoL yeah, I'm pretty rural up here (Mendocino County, Northwestern California)- http://www.visitmendocino.com ), we do have Walmart and Staples in Ukiah though, they carry Toshiba, Acer, Apple and Asus tablets, but neither store has the TF300's in yet. The nearest place now that carries them would be Best Buy, they're 70 miles south of me in Santa Rosa. I was born and raised in SoCal though, so it takes some getting used to not having everything just a few minutes away lol
picked one up at Micro Center in Westbury, NY on Wednesday. The site says "Item Not Available" but their Twitter account confirmed 3 left in store. They actually had 4 left in store when I got there. $349.99 for the 32 GB model, about $380.00 after tax. Sweet deal
Ordered mine from amazon for $385. Had a $50 gift card to reduce it further. They also have the dock for $137 right now

Guys, you're lucky... cheapest price in RU for 32Gb+dock is near 700$

[Q] Can you do store pick up at gamestop?

Hi Guys,
I just went to gamestop's website and tried to order a nexus 7 but it appeared to me they don't offer in store pickup??
Any other way to avoid the shipping cost?
Why don't you call them and ask?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I tried this as well. I don't think you can do an In-Store Pickup if you order it online, so if you want to really save on shipping, you're going to have to go and order it
at the store itself.

did you try to order? I know on the gamestop website it says free shipping for tablets.

Only on select tablets, Nexus 7 not being a part of them unfortunately
you can pre-order in store. so your better off just going to the store and doing it there.
Just called GameStop about this. If you pre-order in store, you will pick up in-store. if you pre-order online, it'll be shipped.

[q] N7 and Canada

So, anybody in Canada got theirs yet? And if so, where from?

Just picked the last one up from Canada computers in Hamilton. It's black instead of the brown that some people may have received. the guy working there said that they're getting more stock on Monday so you may be able to pick one up if you go into the store tomorrow. Ncix also should have orders for in store pickups starting Monday.

ordered 1 8GB and 1 16GB on June 27th from the google play store for a total of $544
CC not charged at the moment for this receipt from google, no emails since in regards to shipment or order
I've called around to many retailers and most are either unaware or not stocking the product, while only a handful are getting in shipments on Monday.
Not sure if its worth the hassle of buying a N7 in store on Monday and dealing with google to ship back one of the 2 that I ordered or if I should just wait, I feel frustrated that I went right to the source to place a pre-order for a product but retailers are selling it before I get any notice on when I'll get mine.. then I remember I live in a first world country and there are bigger injustices taking place around the globe.
Later I'll go have sex with my supermodel girlfriend on my yacht.
I placed my order on the 28th and have heard nothing. I'm a little bit peeved that stores are selling it before the preorders have gone out, but I suppose I'll live. I really hope I get that email on Monday telling me it's shipped.

Ditto... Ordered on 29th - we still have the 2-3 weeks shipping time GOOG mentioned when we pre-ordered.
Who cares if retailers are selling them early?

Went on sale this morning at $299. Check on discounts for in store pick up too.

Yeah, I realize that. Some people might want to just walk in and pick it up vs waiting for shipping. There are no returns on the ebay deal. Get a bad one and you're waiting on LG for a warranty repair.
