To give you an idea, I bought my N6 from Verizon and decided to get it on the Edge program knowing that I would pay the device off after 60 days. I paid it off in full and they still show me under contract. Hopefully, my 3rd call to a supervisor will get it fixed. If not, I will go to Corporate to get it fixed.
I wanted to buy from the Play Store because I wanted to buy it outright, sans contract of any sort. I planned to taked it into my local Verizon store and have them disable my current Droid RAZR MAXX and enable the new Nexus 6. I plan to use my Droid as my "insurance" policy rather than to pay month in and month out for Assurian or whatever.

This was another possibility, even though I haven't even come close to maxing out the 32GB on my present Droid Razr Maxx. Then too, I haven't downloaded much of my own music from my Google Music account which I could do with 64GB.
