Google Nexus 9 What does a Pre-Order typically get you with nexus?

[freakyhair]

I've only started to pay attention to the Nexus family in the past year, so I missed the releases of the other tablets (and phones). What do you think pre-ordering on October 17th will get you? Do you just receive your tablet a bit early, or are there extras?

I've really been waiting to buy a tablet since last spring because of the rumors of this have been dragging me along, So I'm getting anxious (and sick of using my wife's iPad . However, I'm hesitant to be an early adopter of ANY device after being burned a few times by promising products. I think I'd like to see a few actual reviews before I hand over $400+.

Thoughts?

You get the tablet you have ordered, and if you are in quick enough you would get the size you wanted the day its released

There is nothing special about it other than if there is limited supply, you could get in on the first shipments. If brick and mortar stores plan to sell it the same day, you will save money and time by buying it there. Google sucks at offering competitive shipping rates, or even over night without nickel and diming you.

Anyone heard anything about the 9 being sold at Amazon? I read a rumor a while back that they would be sold at Amazon. Fingers crossed for Prime shipping! I don't want to have to deal with slow and expensive Google shipping.

You get what you ordered, first in line.

Anyone have any ideas as to what time it'll be available for pre-order? I know typically the Play Store updates new listings at noon-ish (EST/EDT) but I wonder if there's anything official.
