Why is the prime out of stock everywhere?

**dr_hfuhuhurr** · 05-02-2012, 01:04 PM

I can't find one anywhere to purchase? What's up?

My two go-to places NewEgg and Best Buy are both out of stock and have been for a while.

Maybe stock will be replenished by the TF300 and whatever is replacing the TF201. Possibly cause the GPS thing / issue.

Most local Bestbuys get them in regularly. Keep checking online for stock in local stores.
Also, once the stock get to low, such as one left, the website will show out of stock,
I got one by calling and the rep said which stores may still have stock. I then call and asked them to hold it.

Good luck

i got mine from BD Photo (in NY) I think. I had the same problem here in VT. BB, TigerDirect, etc all constantly sold out. Do a google search for Transformer Prime for sale.

Good luck..it rocks!!

Got mine from a Gamestop. They are experimenting with various locations. They just don't have a good return policy once you open the box.

To keep the prices up !

**dr_hfuhuhurr** · 05-08-2012, 02:49 PM

Thanks for the replies...it's back in stock locally now but with the Infinity 700 due out in June I may just wait for that.

Bc Asus can't manufacture in mass like apple

**ba4g** · 05-25-2012, 10:16 PM

Guy at Best Buy out here just told me that Hasbro sued said due to the Transformer toys name. Any one heard that?

Old news... that was already resolved.

... classic Best Buy salesman (clueless)

Likely, stock is getting less and less as Asus begins to push their next tablet. However, in my opinion, grab a Prime if you find one.

Asus their next tablet will not be coming out until this coming winter not before , first they should fix the problems they already have, Excellent product Horrible customer service .

Plenty of primes tabs in NJ

**nnjwy** · 05-26-2012, 09:06 PM

no other tab that i've used had a locked bootloader, what's up with that. these tabs are boring with the same old thing.

**nnjwy** · 05-26-2012, 09:09 PM

Do not get the tf300t , It has a locked bootloader ^ there is a petition online now to unlock it, I don;t see that happening anytime soon, so with that if you update with OTA you may soft brick your device, with newer firmwares, Beware

**flipbeats** · 05-27-2012, 07:22 AM

I think also since the wifi issue they don't want more complaining people lol

Bah! The locked bootloader is only an issue if you plan on flashing 3rd-party ROMs. If you're planning to run stock (and most people do) it's a non-issue.
