yeah i'm curious in when Popsiclestand pre-order his order. I order at adorama on the 2nd 10mins after my order was cancel on amazon. I'm hoping that isn't the case since the website still show dec 15th as their release date.

It would be hilarious if adorama, BB and other sites are just fed up with us calling everyday and is just giving us random dates to freak us out.

highly doubt it lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
I ordered on the 2nd immediately after Amazon canceled my order.

The games look good, but ps3 games still look better IMO.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
I agree, there's still no comparison to AAA games on ps3 or Xbox.

However its already better looking than any Wii game. :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Crap. In fact: double crap. Unless they've just sold out of their allotment and our prior pre-orders will still go out around the 15th.

Sounds like an email is in order...

WOOOTTTT!!!!!! GS in Lacey WA got theirs in today...

Rep: Thanks for ..... how can i help you?

me: i was wondering if you could tell me when your TP pre-order shipments were sent and if you've received them yet...

Rep: ...I'm sorry..I..cant.. talk about that right now....do you have a preorder by chance?

me: (instantly) Yes, i do..i just wanted to check in..

Rep: (instantly) Oh, yes, we actually got them today...and you can pick it up..It sounded like you didnt have a preorder and we shouldnt be letting anyone without one know...

me: (shaking wildly) Can I come in today and pick it up or do i have to wait until tomorrow?

Rep: No, you can come (sound of phone dropping and car starting)...hello? hello? Click

SOOOOOO i'm off and away. going to get my toy, unbox it..but in a lowly 16g card loaded full of movies and go be a geek at the gym and work out. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drivn2fast:
I would think that they have the preorders, certainly they wouldn't have given me one that was spoken for already?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oluchika:
Just picked mine up after driving the 1hr+ to the store. The guy told me they only received two and that it was good timing when I called to reserve one because the other one was reserved shortly afterwards and that he had two people calling today to ask about them. He stated that they won't get anymore in until after the holidays. Wow, only two...

Mentlegen, I have returned.

Box is shrinkwrapped with Gamestop stickers on it. No docks in the store (NJ) and they don't know when they're getting them in. Opening it now.

Northgate Seattle location go theirs!! but only for preorderers. Painful few hours for me to wait before I can go get mine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richB7:
Those guys had docks? Why the hell didn't they say so, but I should have asked. Assumed they didn't have any but I'm getting a dock from Amazon soon anyway and no tax.

Houston - One Available in the Galleria Gamestop

Call before you go (713) 621-4600, they already sold all of there pre-orders, had one extra, odds are it's gone, but give it a shot.

I was on my way down there earlier, but then right as I was walking through the front door, my local gamestop called, and told me the good news :-)

Still want my friggin dock, but hey, I am happier than I was yesterday. :)

Chino seem in no hurry to open the shipment. Not sure why they do not want customers money?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foboi1122:
I'm thinking about calling the Chino, CA gamestop in an hour hoping they've opened their shipments and will lemme pick up my preorder. Any idea how I could convince them to give me one today if they get it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
So standing at gs in Los Angeles (on Wilshire) they're saying they are delayed until Jan 11 even on pre orders. Wtf?!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digeratix90:
Please post what they say! I have my preorder there too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
i would call a district manager or regional manager. they are the closest tablet store in OC which would really piss me off if i ordered there. i used to work at gamestop and i know this is hard time, but when something is to be released it should be priority

I got mine from the one on Colorado (by Cherry Creek). He said they got 5 in. But when I pre-ordered the guy said I was number 10, a bunch must've canceled. Call and see!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
if anyone has a manager number is OC please post
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
I'd call the store and ask if it still available. Play like you don't know about it being sold and see what they say. Maybe they take someones pre-order and give it to you and say to a pre-order person: "Sorry sir, looks like one of hte boxed items was damaged in shipping and we have to return it to the warehouse to get a new one."

Yessssssss! I feel like a kid again..lmao I'm 32.

My prime has arrived at wood bridge tablet GameStop location. They said it's the only one and it's mines..lmao as I'm the only one who preordered there. Everyone else who wants one there will have to wait till next wave of shipments for prime comes in. I'll be leaving within the hour or so to go pick it up. I'm off work Friday-Monday. I'll be messing around with this thing like crazy. It'll be time to transfer my apps from my Atrix and the apps I bought during the .10cent android app sale. There is no way I will wait till Christmas to open it. As Im buying it as a gift to myself ;). I'll need to buy a case asap. Also will be testing gps and testing wifi against my iPad.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foboi1122:
Okay, reporting in on the Chino gamestop. I just talked to the manager, and she said she keeps getting calls from people asking for the prime(lol) and it's preventing her from finishing opening all her boxes. Apparently they are in but there's about 90 boxes and she has to open them all one by one or something. She said there's no guarantee that she'll get through it today but she'll be calling people one by one to let them know that their prime has arrived. Honestly though, I can't imagine it being that hard to sift through the boxes to find less than 10 primes... i mean they're pretty big boxes... let me know if anyone has success on obtaining their prime there. I'm considering leaving work soon to pick it up but it's useless if she doesn't open my box until tomorrow. Honestly though, i'm gonna have to call bs on the tomorrow thing.

If she finished we would leave her alone! Any mention of docks?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
according to the managers I spoke with no docks have left Asus' factory yet. He said they were scheduled to get their first dock shipment around the 5th. This seems right since I have not seen any docks spotted in the wild yet. Not even any on Ebay. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
that's bs, is she the only person working there?

i swear, the entire store is the size of my garage and they can't open one shipment in less than an hour?

i'm going to change, eat lunch, and then head down there and make them find the primes. if washington got their shipment in, there's no reason CA didn't.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
I want to get out of here, but no reason to leave work and drive 30min if they are not willing to confirm :mad:

If she does not help you mention about the smacking some babies around! That might help!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
it's only 7-10mins for me, but i'll feel kind of bad for raging at the employees and then finding out it isn't in the shipment.

maybe i'll just run off with their display and hold it ransom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
Tell them we are organizing "Occupy Gamestop" and starting with their store! They think their buzy now? Wait til we draw the crowds!

they always say they're busy on the phone, and every time i've ever been in that store, there hasn't been more than 10 customers in the store at any given time. with at least 3 employees working in the front.

i don't understand how they do their hiring. even in my laziest days at best buy, i was never lazy when someone actually wanted my help with something.

Alright guys, lets coordinate efforts to make the Chino,CA gamestop give XDA guys all our primes haha! If anyone ends up going over there, can u let us know how she's sorting through all this to get to the primes? I want to just leave work right now to go pick it up, but I work in costa mesa so I'd have to drive to Chino in the hellish traffic right now. I'd rather get some confirmation before I make the trip that it's actually possible to get it today and that she's not gonna be a beezy and hold them all till tomorrow.

Northern California - East Bay.

Getting busy signals constantly too here: have been calling every few mins (or so) since 1pm PST. Called again 3 times while writing this. They're busy answering the millions of people who're calling them, they forgot to put the receiver back on, or they're ignoring everyone on purpose because of the holiday rush.

I'll have to go down there myself around 7 or so if they don't answer (since they said my order was shipped to the store on the 19th and should be here any day now, and that I'll get it before Christmas for sure).

To all you So Cal folks: used to live there before I moved here. I know exactly what you mean wanting to call first before going through the war zones known as the 5 and the 405. Used to drive from Irvine to Fullerton (csu) every day around 4 or so. :O

GS Springfield PA

Just picked mine up, feels nice very thin screen transitions seem very smooth. WIFI seems to fluctuate a bit 3 ft from the router but still a good signal. No update was pushed to my unit. Wondering Why ? I think the packaging was re-shrink wrapped at GS had a GS sticker on it for the game package. They received 3 grey units all for pre-order. No docks arrived. Going to do some more playing with WiFi to see what I get. Enjoy

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thetruth1983:
lol no I actually preordered mine. I asked if they had any extras and they said no. I swear it seems that at some point, I talked to every employee there and always got a different response. I got this baby charging now and I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations. I was kind of kicking myself that I didn't get it online since gamestop charges tax but the extra games installed make me feel a little bit better. It would be nice for a apple tablet to launch with something other than a calender and a calculator installed.

Anyone going to be at Gamestop, can you please take a look at the demo tablet and find what the Build number is? Better yet, if you can take a picture of the info screen, that would be great. I'd greatly appreciate it. I want to see what the build number was that was rootable (demos seem to be rootable, well at least the one I did was).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foboi1122:
That's BS, they have them there and the manager told me that the street date was 19th and they can sell them!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Ask them for the regional manager number while in the store and say that you want to ask them if that is the policy since all other gamestops are selling them today if they have them. Call regional manager while in the store. Stay in sight of the register so they can see you call and can hear your conversation. If the conversation seems to be going south, start to move away so they can't hear what you are saying.

Good luck

I said I was told it was shipped on the 19th and that I should check in daily, so I'm checking in.
