i ordered one last night from google play, but haven't received a tracking number. i got a receipt saying how much i paid and that the order is being processed. i was really hoping to get it no later than thursday night before i go on vacation too.
when i called around to compare prices and incentives, gamestop has in stock but they aren't offering the $25 google play credit if you buy from them. so i don't think every store offers that incentive. from my brief research, it would appear only google play is offering that incentive.
edit: the $25 google play credit is for any tablet you buy. i just spoke to a customer service rep and she said my order is completing the processing period and should be at my door by friday if not sooner.
