There is a new promo, same gig as before except it is now a $100 off coupon. The code is: MOTOXOOM
Go to the Moto store, order it and at the Amazon checkout apply the code.
Not as good as 25% but hey it cheaper and now better priced than the iPad2
People that pay retail are going to be real mad. I got it for 640 with the 25%

$539?? sounds real good right now.

update: theoretical price for wifi only. but 700 for 4G and 540 for wifi seem like solid pricing.
You realized that was for the WiFi only, right? It's in the intro text
539? Winner.
Do they ship to Canada? Looks like eBay here we come

They're feeling pressure from iPad 2 pricing obviously. Considering Steve Jobs just called them out directly on pricing. This coupon is gonna turn into permanent pricing for sure. Its not even a special coupon, this is just offered to everyone ordering.

There is a slight problem with your order. (See below.)
The credit card number did not match the card type that you selected. Please check the full credit card number and select the proper credit card type from the dropdown menu.
When there is no place to put in a credit card yet? This is what prevented me from buying during the last Moto offering.
This is going to wreck havok their on their site again. Not a smart idea to run another promo when they are just catching upto the first fiasco.

They gotta do something to get sales up though. This isn't a loophole promo either, this is the real deal.

Never mind, I just created a new account instead of using my normal Amazon account. Doubt Verizon will be thrilled with the returns they'll receive. Who is going to pass up a legit $100 back during the 14 day return period?

You still save a little. Just dont know if its worth saving that little. I also heard some people getting their restock fee waived.
This happened to me on the 25% order and it was a bad phone # that caused the message.

I'm really tempted by this. I have it in my cart and just have to press submit.
OK, I called to verify with AMEX. I just return the Xoom to Verizon and get copies of the receipts and a receipt for the restocking fee. I send those to AMEX and they credit my account for the value.
This is very tempting.
Quick question -- I've preordered a Nexus 7 16gb and i wanted to use the $25 to grab some tablet apps on my Nook while i wait for it. Only issue is, the credit isn't showing up in my payment options...
Do you get the credit upon ordering, or is that when you activate it?
it looks like you get the credit once the new device is activated. at least, that's how it looked from the google videos.

Question
Is everybody who buys this tablet now or in the store getting 25$ giftcard and films or just the one who are pre-ordering it in Google Play Store?

It says for a limited time, so I assume just those who are pre-ordering. Or the first round of pre-orders, who knows.
I do think it is good the credit/movies and all that will just come on the device. Easiest way to do it.
Strategy
In their developer conference they said that it is new strategy to customers buy more products in Google Play, but he did not say if all tablets have that 25$ gift
provided all pre-ordered devices will get $25 gift.what happens if the device is activated outside US,UK, and Australia? will there still be $25 gift in the form of other currency? thanks

When I ordered mine (Canada), it did showed credit being applicable. Anyways, with the amount of taxes we pay - I guess Google hand out pro-rated credits
Does the credit apply to the play store as a whole, meaning can this credit be applied toward the case or other accessories?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the free credit will show up once your card has been placed and the order shipped and it probably applies to apps or media. The free book, movie and magazines will probably only be accessible if you log into google play from the US or Canada, The UK or Australia the only places where legit pre-orders are available right now.
If you pre-order one and you log in for the first time outside of those countries, you will not be able to access that part of the play store and download the free media. I may be wrong and it all comes pre-loaded but I have a feeling otherwise, I guess we will have to wait and see.
Okay, so the free credit (£15 per device - from the UK); I've ordered 2 tablets together - to save on postage. One for my wife and one for someone else, I ordered it while logged into my google account and unticked the option that said to register the devices to me (as obviously my wife and friend have their own google accounts).
So how will it know to assign the credit to them, is this built into the tablet rather than via the store? Sorry I'm a bit confused and don't want to lose out on the £30 total credit.

Perhaps a card is given in the packaging with a number similar to a credit card number and when you go to input a credit card you type in this number so you can pay with it like that; and then perhaps you can choose between using a credit card or using the gift card.
Credit is given when the actual device is activated.
Credit goes to the Google account used for that activation.
I was about to pre-order my Nexus 7 (16gb) from the Play store when I saw the total of $280! I live in California, and was really expecting no sales tax, and cheaper shipping. Possibly an option for longer, but cheaper shipping? I don't want to sound like the annoying, unsatisfied customer. I'm merely wondering, will the tablet hit stores in the US? I know the Uk will be getting the 16gb ones the end of July in stores, but couldn't find anything on the US. This would avoid the $14 shipping costs, and would also allow me to make an easier return if something was wrong.
Thanks
Well dont forget since you pre-order it directly from google, they do give you subscription to magazine, 1 free movie and 25$ in the play store.
So in the end, that shipping cost is really not that bad since they make up for it.
Engadget just came out with a story stating that Gamestop will carry the device. They will even give in-store credit if you trade or sell them a tablet.

I wouldn't say NO chance. It WAS up for preorder on the Gamestop site (has since been removed) so I assume there's a possibility that other places will sell it. They might all only sell the 16GB model though since the profit margin on the 8GB version might be too low to bother.
Also, the Gamestop website (when it was up) showed the preorder release date as 7/31/2012 so if you preorder from Google's Play store, and they do release it mid-July like they said, you're paying a little more to get it early which some people don't mind.
Ebuyer.com are taking preorders on the 16gb £199 with free shipping works out cheaper than it does on the google site.
Im guessing that soon other shops/sites will also have it available for preorder soon

If Gamestop has taken down their page it's probably to fix something, I'm sure they'll bring it back later. Also, generally within a few months other companies should start carrying the device, like they did with the Galaxy Nexus. Lastly, you guys should considering that if you do buy from the Play Store, yes you do get charged 13.99$ for shipping, however for 2 day shipping that is incredible, and given the fact that when purchased through the Play Store you get 25$ store credit to purchase apps, books, movies, etc + the magazine subscriptions they bundle for free, I say it's worth it.
on the play store google says
"Sign in to your Google Play account and we'll give you $25 of credit to spend in the Play store, as well as some great free content."
what exactly is this free content? I know the transformers movie is one of them (which i honestly don't care about), and I've heard something about magazines

I believe that is the free content, the magazines and the movie.
Also I just took a second look at the cnet article I linked to and it appears that yes Gamestop will also include these freebies and credit. Although I don't know how they'll implement it.

It's probably automatically given to every account that activates a Nexus 7 tablet for like all of July and August or whatever range of time that pick. That's my guess since it seems Gamestop purchases also get the free content.

Hmmm. So the Gamestop page for the Nexus 7 is back up (http://www.gamestop.com/android/tablets/google-nexus-7-16gb-pre-order-only/102893) and they removed any mention of the $25 credit.

I read all the fine print in the google play store when the page was published and im 100 percent sure i read in re: to 25 dollar credit that it was only valid for purchases made from the play store, so unless gamestop is ordering from the play store or something which seems crazy then it would appear there is no credit for orders from them, although i wouldnt be suprised if google didnt argue with someone and gave you a 25 dollar credit if you asked about it.

Maybe that's why the Gamestop page was pulled for like half a down before coming back up. They had the wrong information.
Talked to a Google Rep last night while trying to cancel my 8gb for a 16. I asked him if I'd still get the $25 and he said yes, but only from the play store and only before it hits stores, though he didn't give me a deadline. I assume its sometime in the next 3 weeks.

Yea plus I got £9.05 on quidco @ 5% so I will be paying a touch over £180
I can't believe its $280 to Cali! Its only $263 to Hawaii. Generally I'm used to sucking up and forking over extra shipping for Hawaii, but for whatever reason it was relatively cheap.
Unless you want to pick it up at a gamestop or find it through another retailer, i wouldn't expect to find it much cheaper.
Hi all, this is slightly based on a thread I started in Q&A but I think a dedicated one would work best.
Its pretty simple if you find any good deals on the tablet please post the necessary info for everyone to share in. I think also post specials on adapters like Qi charging pads, cases etc, things for the tab. I will start with something given to me.
If anyone doesnt know yet you can get the Nexus 7 without paying the sales tax in California and probably other amazon states by buying it from B&H photo video Nexus 7 16GB and Neuxs 7 32GB just get t delivered to your address. I dont know about other states but if anyone does know let me know and I'll edit this post
I'll be monitoring this thread closely. I am about to order one off of the Play store, but I can wait a day or two and still get it by the date I want it. If nothing pops up here in the next few days, I'll have to order one at full price
Shoulda sprang on the Newegg deal when I had the chance... It was in my cart and everything.

I'll give it a shot here in the Phoenix area as well. I could only find one Officemax that had one 32GB. Yesterday there was a Staples that had one 32GB left and I had a 20% coupon (that ended yesterday), but I wussed out with all of the issues the N7 FHD is having. But today, I'm feeling it and Staples even said they would accept the Officemax coupon (your mileage may vary). Of course, they sold their last one yesterday...
You can get a $50 gc which you can apply to purchase of the tablet if your order through amazon, if you open a new credit card with them.
