Purchasing Nexus 7 from US Play Store fails with technical error

[nexnexnex]

Hi,

I'm trying to purchase this tablet from the Play store but it keeps failing after hitting the "Buy" button. Setting shipping and billing info goes without a hitch, but as soon as I click Buy to finalize the purchase it gives me a temporary error:

"Sorry, we were unable to process this request. The order has been automatically cancelled and you will not be charged for the purchase. Please try again later."

I tried this from multiple computers, multiple browsers, clearing cookies, logging out and back in, even tried a different Google account and different addresses and credit cards. A friend of mine also tried separately from a different city and failed. It happens immediately after clicking Buy, it doesn't even have time to run any checks on the credit card.This has been going on for 3 days.

Anyone seen this before? I can't find any mention of complaints recent or in previous months. I'd imagine it would be a big issue with the tech blogs if noone could purchase the in stock tablet, yet I've seen nothing.
