If 32GB Nexus 7 is released, what about us 16GB Nexus users?

[Unicorn Rancher]

If you add the free movie and money we got that would be $45. The Transformers movie, $25 play store credit and $10 Wallet money.

I didn't get any $10 wallet money. So for me the math is $25 play credit - unwanted crap movie = $20.

I just found out that you get 10GB of cloud storage straight from Google Drive. I can manage it.

Free?

 

[HisSvt2]

Funny mine says 5gb storage were is 10gb coming from? No big deal have 25gb free thru sky drive, but just curious.

 

[bitseeker]

That 10GB must be Gmail. Drive only gives you 5GB free. Box gave 50GB accounts for certain Android phones earlier this year. There may still be some 25GB offers for Box if you need cloud space.

Yes 5GB, I believe I can store a game or two I never play. It's actually better than nothing I'd say.

They might give people who bought the 16GB version a refund for the difference if they bought withing the past few weeks. If you bought a while back then I'd say you're SOL as far as any kind of compensation goes.

If you're really feeling down about the price you recently paid for the 8 or 16 GB version, try a different perspective. Think of all the money you saved by not buying a lower-resolution, lower-performance, higher-priced tablet like the iPad mini. Enjoy your Nexus 7!

Ha, that instantaneously boosted my mood.

When did Google give $10 Wallet credit? No one seems able to answer this question....

So? If you bought it a week ago you can return it for a full refund.

I bought one for my daughter (Xmas gift) 3 weeks ago. At Office Max. No return possible. But I did it for the Play credit, so it was a $187 purchase.

ORLY? How?

It was a separate introductory credit that Google gave for people who signed up for Google Wallet for the first time. As far as I know, it is not technically associated with the Nexus 7 launch at all. I got my $10 credit over a year ago when I used Google Wallet to buy something, so obviously I didn't get another credit when I bought my Nexus.

More to the point, look at the purchase you made - a 16GB Nexus 7 for $250, and compare that to anything OTHER than a 16GB Nexus 7 that is on the market today, months after the release.

The only thing that competes is... Google's own price drop on the same item, and Google's new product with more memory (and no other new features) for the same price.

If I went into Staples today and they had a 16GB for $250, it would still be a better deal for the features I want in a tablet than anything else currently on the market.

Honestly, Google upped their game and they didn't need to. They need to hire MC Hammer for marketing, because, "I'm telling you, homeboy. Can't touch this!"

EDIT: This is, of course, assuming all the rumors are true. Given Apple's honestly somewhat disappointing announcement, Google could still bring back the 8GB for $200, keep the 16GB at $250, and introduce the 32GB at $300, and it would still blow the doors off anything else out there from a value-for-price perspective.

When the 32Gb version is released, my wife will be getting my 16. Tech hand-me-downs to the family always keep me happy.

When the 64Gb Nexus 7 Mark 2 is released my daughter will be very happy with the 16GB Nexus 7 that will trickle down.

Box gave 50GB accounts for certain Android phones earlier this year.

There was also a build.prop hack for rooted phones that tricked Box into thinking you had a qualifying phone to receive the free 50GB (I did it with my GS3). I'm assuming that if the promotion is still running, a rooted N7 could also use the build.prop hack to get the free 50GB.

lol Transformers must have been pretty bad, so few movies go straight to Netflix after DVD release. I lost my wallet credit because my N7 needed a reset, but that was my fault (they were pretty hushhush about the credit, you had to dl the wallet app during a certain time frame to get it).

I'm a little peeved, but not raging mad or anything. I'm just used to companies waiting like a year before releasing an updated version/changing their prices. It's just weird knowing your device is worth $50 less, just a few months after it was released.

Definitely not going to be an early adopter for upcoming Google products, that's for sure. I can wait a few months to score a better deal.

I got my N7 16GB at Office depot on the 13, i got 14 days to return it or exchange it, they already got the 32GB listed on their website for the same price, I would like to get the 32GB (of course) but my 14 days expire on the 27th and Office depot cannot sell the 32 until google officially release it on the 29th.

I really hope they allow exchange for people that got it in the last 30 days.

My advice: return it right now, do without one for a weekend, buy a 32gb on launch day. That's what I'd do if I was within my return period.

I got mine in August. No complaints here, I got what I paid for and I'm enjoying the heck out of this thing. But if you're within the return window and it bothers you (which is a very legitimate concern if you've had it for a short time), don't wait and hope they'll make good. Just take it back and repurchase what you really want when it comes out in a few days.

I don't mind being without it for a weekend, the issue is the 14% restocking fee, exchanges are ok, but Returns of Open electronics take 14% restocking fee, not really the bigest deal ever, but still a bit inconvenient
