No i have not, but I can tell its very choppy and laggy... Maybe it was due to the asus live wallpaper i had running, i will try it out again without and see how it is.

I was dissapointed to find out that gameloft games (like asphalt 6 and modern combat 3) are not supported for the Prime but I think they will be adding it very soon, I have these games running on my HP touchpad but only because its rooted and has its device ID modded to show up as a nexus s.

Another funny thing to note is that my Touchpad runs ICS Spectrum live wallpaper and even asus water2 live wallpaper better than the prime for some reason... Not a big deal but I thought that was rather silly.

Overall I am happy with the prime so far, even with the slight screen bleed and non-working GPS, I think i will stick it out with the prime and see if future updates and ICS help it out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I feel the Same way. I haven't pre ordered something since like almost 15yrs. Ago or so. When I had sega genesis and preordered the game NBA Jam Tournament Edition and X-Men. :eek: it's still exciting though. Just hope my Prime won't be plagued by issues I've been reading about. It kinda detracts from excitement though. Instead of opening device and enjoying it initially, I'll be testing it out to make sure nothing wrong with it. Based on recent issues found with some people.

I can not believe you did not tell us your location, really?

Can anyone that has got there confirm whether or not the DOCKS were also available?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
is the touchpad running 2.3 or 3.x?

ALL the flaws regarding anything related to the launcher on any HC tablet can be attributed to honeycomb being a complete piece of stinky donkey ****.

change launchers on your prime to something like adw ex and it will fly with any LWP.

i really hope ICS gets here soon, because i really really despise HC. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
docks were not available.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
If you look back I think that you will find that I was the first to announce the call and pick mine up today from GS. :-) I think anyway. I'm in slowdeatha uh i mean odessa, tx.

My GPS is a no-go as well. I don't anticipate using it much but how the f%ck can a company release a highly anticipated product like the TFP with faulty WiFi and COMPLETELY nonworking GPS. Maddening, really.

Otherwise I do love this device. I wish Dolphin HD was as quick and responsive as Opera tho. I like it so much better but it lags while typing in these forums. :-( The XDA app is pretty snappy too.

I haven't had much time to play with it yet because my 70" Sharp Aquos came tonight as well and im having trouble getting my htpc desktop to fit the screen for some freaking reason...lol. looks great using media center extender thru the xbox though! If anybody has any ideas on that1 pm me, please.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Locke30:
You can now purchase a bundle on gamestop with the transformer prime tablet and keyboard dock for $649, with a "release date" of 1/6. But you can't purchase the tablet by itself. Interesting...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
If u read the thread you will see i have said where I am several times. Also said no docks a my store yet ufortunately. :-(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
The manager at the store said docks were scheduled to be sent out in 2 weeks. they would contact all pre orders to see if they wanted them fish.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Have you hooked your prime up to your new tv using hdmi cable yet? I know on a 70, it should look really good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
my touchpad runs 2.3 and has go launcher ex.

I installed go launcher EX on the prime but it runs like crap. Prob doesnt use any of the other cores I guess and only the 500mhz companion.

Touchpad video.

I tried this same setup on my prime but the live wallpaper and go launcher werent running good at all, prob not compatible with the hardware. Plus like i said my touchpad is running android 2.3 CM7 xron-ified 2.2 jzen lite. looks just like honeycomb but its not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Not yet. :-) I know I have a cable but not sure if it is micro or mini.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shalomhr:
Guys I called earlier this afternoon, 12/21 (its 1:30am) here and they said it was at the store all ready to be picked up. So if its at my store it should definitely be at your store tommorow if not already there, since im in Puerto Rico. Great morning for me it shall be!!!! Hopefully it will be as great for all of you.

Good luck!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
Nice heads up. If I don't get one before new years I will probably just order online from them.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
You might wanna try ADW launcher. As I heard that's a really good one for tablets/prime. They might have a free version. I went ahead and bought that, along with several other apps/games during that .10 cent sale android marketplace had just recently. So once I get the prime, it'll be ready to be loaded with some killer apps/games. Can't wait to try OnLive on the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gruntguy:
Puerto Rico... Wow. Congrats dude, enjoy! :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RowdyBoss:
Just bought 2 bundles. Ship date 1/6/12. I can deal with that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
you calling me a fish bro? i will fight you. ;)

go launcher never worked all that well with HC, adx works a million times better than the stock HC launcher on my tf101 and gtab 10.1, so i can with fairly high certainty say the launcher is what is causing the slow down on the prime. honeycomb is just a piece of **** that should never have been released.

that being said, the 10mins i played with the prime at gamestop a week or so ago, it ran much better than any of the tegra2 tablets with the stock launcher, but still not as well as something with 1gb of ram and 4+1 cores should run a mobile f'ing OS.

ICS better be the messiah for google in the tablet space, or they are never going to gain any traction against iOS and win8 will just demolish them when it comes out.

but still, i can't freaking wait until i can pick up my prime! :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
Anyone tried SBP Shell 3D on the Prime yet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ghettoyungin718:
I wonder why they're overpricing, is this the 32gb version or 64gb version?

the previous 32gb bundle was at $539.98 and this new one is at $649.98?

I'd rather go with officedepot.com atleast the second batch will be shipped on the 27th if you haven't pre ordered already for the 23rd /11th

fyi has anyone who received their gs bundle test the controller already? or reviewed it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
I think this is with keyboard, not controller.

You're right, my apologies.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RowdyBoss:
I wake up this morning & both of my orders are canceled!!! I was just trying to save myself from having to go to the GS store but maybe it is a blessing in disguise. They guaranteed me delivery around the 11th if january.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
east coast and northeast folks chime in if you start hearing from your stores today...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
guys, let keep this thread in focus on gamestop please?

My store said today for sure, so I'm going to call at 10AM to see when the delivery will arrive. I think they said 11am but I don't trust what they say most of the time anyway. If they say they the delivery comes in at 11, I'll call at 11:15 to see if it's there, then I'm out the door to them on an long extended lunch.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Random but are the games installed by Gamestop (shadowgun & riptide) for Tegra 2, or the optimized Tegra 3 versions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
cool thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
OK!! It's a new day and you know what that means?

Another day of masochism!! Woo!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
I feel like surely some of us will get our tablets today.. Probably not many, but at least a few! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
I really hope so!

Hey guys I have a odd request from those who get their orders today. Could you please ask the GS worker if the Prime came via UPS or FedEx?

I know, that's a little obsessive but I've figured out that UPS comes at around noon, but FedEx arrives whenever, and they usually only use FedEx for special shipments, whatever that means.

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Hmm, Gamestop website has Prime + dock bundle up for sale again.. with 1/6 release...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
They all seem to be optimized for tegra 3.

In fact I downloaded another game, shine runner, made by the same people who make Riptide, and it has the water effects as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
Optimized. And this isn't even a full install, for shadowgun it's some damn icon on the desktop and when you click on it, it downloads the game.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

GameStop: Damn it that guy desert_mouse is going to call here all day. Remember tell him it's not here and we have no idea when it gets here.

GameStop employee 2: Yeah but that tablet has been sitting here all week.

GameStop: I know...I just want to see that guy suffer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
ROFL. Nice!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
The boxes appear to be factory shrink wrapped. Everything inside the box was nicely wrapped, and it looked to never have been removed from the box.

From the way it looks, I am going to assume that GS has Asus put on the games for them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
According to my email and the notice on their website on the transformer prime page, they have to install the games on the device. That means opening it and installing it on your device...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
I don't know...I think gamestop might have done it. I remember when the transformer came, the power adapter was in 3 pieces (cord, plug, adapter), but the plug was alreeady attach to the adapter for the prime. The transfomer came with 2 plugs I think, the European plug also, but the prime only comes with 1 plug (US). Come to think of it....maybe gamestop left out that plug?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gruntguy:
I haven't got it yet, but my store has told me that it comes by UPS. I think I've heard the same thing from many other people too. I've certainly heard UPS being mentioned a lot more so than FedEx... In fact, I haven't heard FedEx being mentioned at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
I got my tablet, and the guy said they use UPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Asus would have to do it! As the games are probably not able to be uninstalled correct?

They are system files preloaded.. Right?

Gamestop wouldn't have opened each box plugged it in to a computer and installed the apks..

Well you can tell by your first boot if it requests a language?!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gruntguy:
Any idea where it downloads the game from?

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

From what's been shown to us earlier in the thread, it seems evident that Gamestop were the ones to open it and install the games, but it's not done in the store. It'll have been done either at the distribution center or another part of the supply chain.

And the games are removable apparently.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Yes they open each prime and install these bundled games then shrink wrap... Get over it.

And yes apon my first boot there was no setup or lang select at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Okay then they did... Doesn't this void asus's warranty?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
no. purchased from authorized channel partner. They can be uninstalled.

You guys need to chill out about this preloaded games thing. If you don't like it, don't order from gamestop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gruntguy:
I would say no, unless they physically dismantled the tablet.

I for one am quite looking forward to these bundled games. I don't care whether they've opened the box and fiddled with it, as long as it's still in one piece and it works, which of course it will. They're not taking it out the box to do harm to it, and anything they've done is reversible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
Gamestop, Houston Galleria Mall. Called this morning and yes they have some in stock, but the guy on the phone says they aren't releasing them until tomorrow. I tell him, wait a second, Gamestops across the country have been releasing them for several says. He talks to the manager and come back, yes we can release them. Went over and picked it up. Opening now....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gruntguy:
Did you call them yesterday too? Maybe they had them yesterday but didn't call you because they thought they couldn't give it to you yet. Either way, congrats on getting it :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
niiiice.

Again, damn you texans.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
At least the Gamestop in your area is selling first come first serve, and not doing pre-order only BS like here in the Mid-west.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
How is that BS

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thetruth1983:
So on the one day where I'm stuck at the dealer until this afternoon, the Galleria finally gets them in stock. I did not receive a call but I did call to confirm and was told that they do have them in stock. I will be running over there asap as soon as my car is finished being worked on. What color did you get and did they sell you a dock? I remember they told me that there will be 1 dock per preorder and also that customers would be able to choose the color on a first come first served basis.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
because there site says Available in-store but says **** about "for Pre-orders only"

you find that out after you call and they confirm they do have them but they are holding them for pre-orders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
That's how we Texans roll...we're number 1 :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
You can have any color you want as long as it's gray. Didn't expect the dock and didn't ask but did mention I had a dock on pre-order elsewhere which should have led them to tell me they had them but they didn't, so I believe they don't.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rockstatus90:
Does anyone know if any NYC store has them instock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Meanee:
My Brooklyn NY store keeps giving me crap. "Once we get them, we will email everyone who pre-ordered". It's tomorrow, dammit. At least tell me if it's on track or anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gruntguy:
If you said you had a dock on order elsewhere they probably wouldn't think it necessary to tell you if they have any or not.. since you can only fulfil your order at the store you ordered at. They probably just assumed you'd get it where you ordered it and that'll be that.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

My store was equally useless until I spoke to the assistant manager. But email? My store only took my phone number.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whiskaz77:
Still no joy here in WV. I'm 1 of 2 who pre-ordered and he just got off the phone with the other guy (it was busy when I first tried haha). That's pretty funny because I haven't been calling them much at all... twice total since early December. He said tomorrow. I say, we'll see.

At least I have an iPad2 at Walmart. At this point, I think I'm just going to wrap both and let her decide!!! Assuming the Prime comes in tomorrow. The issues, etc are starting to tear away at my decision... coupled with the possibility of not even receiving it on time... and then waiting for ICS to come out (another un-fun waiting game). Tech...argh!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] norm883:
Useless and cone of silence

Pennsylvania is no different still no notice from Gamestop (phone call or Email) calls to store show no shipment, but we are expecting them tomorrow (12/23). They should just pre-record this. Maybe I can pick up after midnight mass on the Christmas Eve. No Problem! Calls to online are useless for the preordered docking station (status open), no one answers or it says due to high volume this service to speak with anyone is not available.

Just called Gamestop Springfield PA and he said they will be in on Friday and I should receive a call from them. Sounds promising ! Hang in there everyone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thetruth1983:
Yes this bothers me too. I confirmed that they have my correct phone number and they never called me. Not not today nor last week when they were delayed. If it had not been for this forum, I would have showed up there on Monday for nothing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gruntguy:
Hah! Nah, it's at least a half-hour drive for me in good traffic. There's no point in me going when I have a reserved tab going to the store literally just up the street from me. Still, good to see that a store on the East Coast has them in stock. Now the rest of them just need to follow suit :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rjscott2005:
Apparently none of the Gamestop stores in metro-Atlanta, GA sell tablets. I called all but 3 of them and all had the same story. One told me that I need to order online. Hmmm...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
At this point GameStop online has the tablet/dock bundle and it claims availability for Jan. 6. I think that would be quicker than in-store GS pre-orders (second wave) which are currently tabbed for Jan. 12.

are there ANY confirmed physical pickups/calls from PAC Northwest states? like Washington, Oregon or Idaho? All of my tablet stores all give the same boiler plate we don't care response "if they come in we will be calling people, but the date for release for pre-orders is the 23rd.."

I have to be sensitive though...I cant get frustrated with this fiasco cuz 1) only I put myself into the forum watching addiction and 2)Have failed to send out rugby gear orders on time :(
