Are people getting this at BB anymore?

I had no problems ordering mine from BB online 3 wks ago. I got informed by nowinstock.net that BB had it available, ordered immediately (check later that day after I ordered and they were out a few hrs later) and received it the following week.

Had no problems with wi-fi, gps, or all the updates. Had Root for awhile until 4.0.3 broke it...oh well i'll just have to wait till the next release. Now if more apps out there would start taking advantage of the hardware...I'm golden.

I had initially ordered mine from BB (it said out of stock online and they weren't carrying it in the store, but somehow the clerk was able to order it for pick up?), but I cancelled my order same day and ordered instead the bundle from Game Stop (came with a few preloaded games and a bluetooth controller). I still have the dock coming from BB.

I ordered from Office Depot last Monday and received it on Thursday. Best Buy never seemed to have them available online.

I was about to order mine from Office Depot, but then I saw MicroCenter had the 64GB on sale for $550! I was able to pick it up today from the Chicago location!

FYI, the 32GB Grey are showing in stock at BestBuy.com at the moment. I don't know how long they'll last, but you can order the shipped to the store.

Unfortunately they won't let you use the RZ coupon for a $50 gift card with a $500 purchase for online purchases, it's in-store only. Looks like I'll be waiting until they get their shipment on Thursday.

I just bought my 32gb off of bestbuy.com for store pickup! SUPER STOKED!!!

I got mine at BB. They notified me that i could order it on 1/6, which I did. Then they kept pushing back the date that it would come in. I finally picked it up on 1/20.

Besides not being able to install HBO Go, there have been no issues.

Scratch that. While I have a feeling that we're at the tail end of the supply problems (launch in Europe, shipments to Amazon and BB coming), you never know. I'd wager pretty heavily that the BB online stock will be gone tomorrow morning (Tuesday) and then it's a crapshoot as to whether the stores actually get them in Thursday or not. If you ask 5 different people at the store you'll get 14 different answers. So I decided not to chance it. After all, it says that it ships to the store in 3-5 days.

Of course just before I was placing the order it says that it will be available for pickup on the 30th, 7 days from now. So I wonder if they're trying to play it safe and over-estimate or if it will really take that long? If they manage to get stock on Thursday, I'm assuming that I can walk into the store and take delivery from that stock, right? Or will they literally make me wait until the 30th?

Besides not being able to install HBO Go, there have been no issues.

Anyway, word from ASUS was that when they released in Europe they wouldn't have the "wifi issue." I'm assuming that means that whatever tweaks are necessary would also be done on the next batch bound for the US model? I mean, other than the AC adapter for the charger it should be identical.

Got my prime from office depot a couple of weeks ago despite having enough BB gift cards to pay for it if I had waited. Was in my local BB yesterday and was surprised to see that they had a prime on display but not yet for sale. The item tag simply stated that it was "coming soon". Nevertheless, its the first time Ive seen an actual prime in the store.

 

[Kmcferrin]

Yeah, and they're still in stock online.

I'm guessing that ASUS did some small runs for December release so that they could hit the xmas market, then ramped up later in December for mass production. They've certainly created a lot of buzz, and it seems like the availability issues are almost over.

I was able to get mine Saturday (1/21/12) at Best Buy. They said they just got them in that morning. Keyboard dock was also in stock. It looked like they had 10-15 Transformer Primes and about 5-8 docks.

I exchanged my original transformer for a prime this morning. BB site said ship to store last night and this morning it said in store only. Called them and said they had it in stock and would hold it for me.

Mine just arrived after 2 1/2 days from Best Buy! Wahoo! Excited to start playing with it, when the battery is charged.

I got mine at BB but had to goto New Mexico to find one. Very limited.
