Is Nexus 10 worth purchasing?

Your fanboy is showing. Seriously, why the need to troll Android forums spewing your blindly-biased nonsense? Are you employed by Apple? Or the more likely case, you're very insecure in nature and want to make yourself feel superior/better about your overpriced and oversimplified Apple products. The N10 malfunctions you address are not NEARLY as widespread as you attempt to portray them. The one good point you do make is that the Android Marketplace is pretty thin in Tablet-optimized Apps and Games. This is currently true, but that's starting to change now, and is expected to rapidly improve over the next few months.

Mine doesn't. Others in this forum have said they have no light leaks [though I don't know if they tested while watching a movie]. To be clear the light leak obviously exists but I don't think it is all encompassing.
I'm a developer and I develop for Android and iOS. Many think the phrase "Optimised for Tablet" means, better, higher resolution. But in actuality 9 times out of 10, it simply means a little bit of code to expand the screen. A good developer has the one code base, which takes advantages of the hardware its run on. Thousands of apps on Android are already "optimised for tablets" but since they also scale to phones, when run on them, they are classed as not. It's really deemed as pretty backward now two have two different versions of your app, one for mobile, one for tablets nowadays, when you should have an app that runs equally well on both. But if you like paying for two copies of the same program, then go ahead, I'll stick "HD" or "optimised for tablets" on it if you want to buy my app twice! 
I was hesitant on buying the Nexus 10 at first, but upon actually receiving it and toying around with its features...I don't think there is a better buy right now.
I'm coming from the apple world with iphone, ipad and mac...i've since gotten a Droid DNA and a Nexus 10 ...still with a mac though. I actually just purchased a nexus 7 which should be coming to me in a few days.
I would put the Nexus 10 over the ipad at the moment. I nearly stayed with apple because everything just syncs with each other, but when I embraced the change and jumped in with two feet with the whole Google system....I've learned to make everything work.

To be honest the Google ecosystem seems to work a lot better than apples, especially if you don't have a Mac but a PC. ITunes is terrible software. The backing up is a nightmare to use because its so flaky.
16 gig already tells me that the apps take up a lot of space. I know books don't and if your just reading then 16 gig is huge. Movies on the other hand can be temp watched and deleted or in the cloud so where do all the gigs come from?
I love mine. No light bleed or stuttering issues. Lightning fast. Open big spreadsheets fine and are easy to read with the resolution on this thing. Games and movies are also great.
I haven't noticed an issue with apps either. The ones I always use were either there or I found better options for the tablet.
I say buy one. You cannot go wrong.

I've used an Ipad, a Motorola Xoom and a Nexus 10. The iPad works well, but it is just so boring. On the iPad, I can't stand the lack of keyboard options and the lack of intents for apps (set defaults for file types, etc). I guess there might be thousands of tablet Apps for the iPad, but I only have about 50 on my Nexus 10 and all of the ones I've wanted have looked great on the tablet (except for the NPR app which only works with portrait). I don't have any light bleed and I can put up with the odd freeze until the fix comes out with 4.2.2. That's the price of being on the cutting edge, sometimes there are hiccups.
Don't get me wrong, I like the iPad. If I had to buy my grandmother or my 4-year old daughter a device, it would definitely be an iPad.
If by big favor you mean kick yourself in the nads - then yes, do yourself a big favor and pickup an iPad. Sorry man, but I would not recommend that to anyone. Yes, the iPad has more apps - but many of the major one are available on both so, in essence, there are a lot more useless apps on iPad. In addition, if there is not already a major app on the N10, there will be. In the end, the OS on the iPad is just so restrictive and bland that it makes owning that piece of technology boring. Personally, I like being able to control my experience on all my Google devices. In contrast, my mom's iPhone looks just like any other iPhone - boring. So why invest in something boring? Why not start right from the start?
What is the best game you are playing in N10 ATM? I have just ordered one in Google play! Which game is taking 3.5 GB BTW?

Bards Tale takes over 3 GB to play. Need For Speed: Most wanted is just under 2GB.
The thing is as we get higher res displayes, and software is written to take advantage of it, everything gets bigger.
