Saturday 27th i check best buy's website and it showed 2 stores that had it in stock so i called them they said yes we have 14 in stock so 20min later i got there only 2 left. Best Buy in East Hanover, NJ. i been using it since saturday and i love it.
[Google Chromecast] kpa2727:
I work at a bby people been buying them 4 at a time. I had to order mine through the website and ship it in. we just couldn't kep stock fast enough, even for me to buy one.
[Google Chromecast] freesoul27:
When BestBuy online stock will return?
[Google Chromecast] biggiestuff:
Typically how long does it take to get the Netflix code if you ordered online and had it shipped to you?
[Google Chromecast] dallastx:
Do you think the stores will get anymore this week or even next week? I was under impression that all store only receive shipments on Tuesday? I know here in Dallas not one store has received a second shipment yet.
[Google Chromecast] daprospecta:
I bought mine Saturday around 1:00 P.M. and by 3:00 P.M, I had email(which was sent to my rz email) with the code included.
[Google Chromecast] herculese1:
Bestbuy.com has them in stock right now. it says it should arrive in about a week.
[Google Chromecast] borijess:
Thanks just got one. Funny thing it says it still comes with netflix.

[Google Chromecast] dallastx:
Yep ordered one today "Thursday" on web. Will be here Monday and it comes with netflix. :D
[Google Chromecast] nowhere2010:
Ordered a few, and already received the Netflix codes.
[Google Chromecast] dallastx:

[Google Chromecast] borijess:
So does the netflix code work for existing customers?

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[Google Chromecast] dallastx:
Yes new or existing.
[Google Chromecast] borijess:
Just looked at it and it works for existing customers. So code only covers for streaming correct?

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[Google Chromecast] dallastx:
Yes that's correct. Streaming only...
[Google Chromecast] michaelg1030:
Guess I just missed the window if when they had stock. I've been checking best buy.com all week and nothing. It wouldn't even let me place an order. Today I was finally able to order it, but it is still backordered about 7-14 days it says.

Netflix code with sent right after payment and I applied it to my current account.

Only problem I see is that my TV only has two HDMI inputs. One is for my DirecTV and the other is used by my ps3. I hardly play my ps3 (except for Netflix, which is what I bought the chrome cast for anyway), so I'll probably just unplug my ps3 and switch between the two when need be.

Can anyone recommend an HDMI hub as another option?
[Google Chromecast] thedeva:
Hey, Can someone please tell me the size & weight of the box that Chromecast comes in? Need to know shipping cost to Australia. Cheers.
[Google Chromecast] kpa2727:
it's emailed should be instantaneously. sorry I been away.

For us it's sunday and wed we get shipments of stuff. due to back to school rush they been sending a load of trucks to us all week were overflowing with stock. we received a few 32 gig nexus 7's I was able to exchange my defective one thankfully and I seen a few chrome cast's today. watch your stores pickup on bby.com. the shipments will come in so fast the stores computers can't keep up tracking them but I believe bby.com it's tracked differently so you get first dibs on the site rather then in store. so even if it's back ordered select check stores for pickup and check in the morning and around 2 - 4 pm range cause ups delivers some stock not delivered by truck loads.
[Google Chromecast] biggiestuff:
Who should I talk to if I haven't gotten my code? CS keeps giving me the run around. Saying wait a week. It'll come. It's been since the 24th.
[Google Chromecast] michaelg1030:
Im not condoning this, but what if you ordered another one from bestbuy.com. you should receive your code instantly. Activate the code, than cancel your best buy order. I'm sure they make it so you can't do this, but just a thought since they are dicking you around.
[Google Chromecast] borijess:
Got my shipping confirmation for yesterday bestbuy order. :D

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[Google Chromecast] michaelg1030:
Yup just got mine too! Be nice if it shows up tomorrow.
[Google Chromecast] kpa2727:
email bestbuy support team through the website, they handle the send out of that stuff or try 1 -888 bestbuy. the stores and probably 1-888 bestbuy will be useless to you. gotta understand BBy is divided into divisions and departments. the store doesn't know what online does. their like having 2 deifferent departments.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

their sold out, no backorders even if you wanted to you can't. I been shafted like this too but emailing the support team and going on their digital content forums. I got my game dlc codes and stuff in just few hours.
[Google Chromecast] dallastx:
Whats the sku number? Its asking for product number.
[Google Chromecast] kpa2727:
Sku of chromcast ? 9071056
[Google Chromecast] dallastx:
Im thinking you can only search bby if your on a internal server. No where to put sku at bby.com.
[Google Chromecast] kpa2727:
you put it in search, idk what your looking for?

Oh never mind got confused. Thought you were saying search bby.com vs bestbuy.com .
[Google Chromecast] alphabets:
I picked one up at my local best buy in northeast PA last night. Then, today i logged on to "check stores" and they now show them in stock at a ton of local best buys. Check your local store out!
[Google Chromecast] evelbug:
My local BB was showing in stock. I asked the wife to run out there this afternoon. With luck, I'll be able to cancel my amazon order shortly.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

And, the wife said she got the last one, and I got an e-mail with a netflix code.
[Google Chromecast] Bangincrazy:
I picked up the last two at a local best buy on Friday. The people that work there and answer the phones have no clue what they are doing. I called right as I was leaving the house to verify they had some in stock since the site showed in store only. I was told they will sell them in the morning. I get there and get the last two...
[Google Chromecast] herculese1:
Your best bet is if it shows in store only, just order it online and set it for in store pickup. I did that and they held it for me.
[Google Chromecast] Bangincrazy:
They keep saying you cannot order online nor in stores. My buddy tried.
[Google Chromecast] evelbug:
When it said In Store Only for me, there was no option to order online and pick up in store. When I saw one in stock on Sunday, I called the store. They said they had one on hand, and they were not able to hold it. Since that store was farther away, I descided not to risk it. Today, I saw it listed as available at the store closer to me (as well as a bunch of other area stores), so I had my wife run out for me. Around 1pm, she got the last one. It seems like they are starting to make their way into the stores, so keep and eye out.
[Google Chromecast] dallastx:
Yea i have 4 coming in from best buy online. They use ups to sort the mail then usps to delv. Slowest delv I ever seen. But they will be here Thursday
[Google Chromecast] Unholyfire:
Checked stock online for my local BB's. Said "only available in store", for 1 store. Got there asap! The magical display box holding my new dev toy was empty, after I grabbed up the last one! YAY!

Time to brush up on my skills, and finnaly apply myself to all my whiteboard designs I've crafted since the news of Chromecast broke.
[Google Chromecast] michaelg1030:
Yeah two bestbuys within 20 miles of me have stock. I can't get there til tomorrow though, so hopefully I can grab a second one for the TV in my sons play room.
[Google Chromecast] Medic1013:
Where are you guys going to check availability at local stores? I go to best buy online buy can't see anything other than out of stock online. I've even clicked on my local stores but still can't see current stock.

I went today to one best buy and the dude said shipments come Wednesdays and Fridays.

[Google Chromecast] michaelg1030:
You have to use the full website, I don't think the option shows up on mobile version.

Under product availability, click "check stores"
[Google Chromecast] mrhomiec:
the Ahwatukee, AZ location had 10 at 6:30pm when i went (9 cause i bought one). then when i told my friend, he went around 8:00, and there was 8 before he bought one.

.

PS! Netflix codes are still being provided! just added 3 months free to my existing account. (yes!)
[Google Chromecast] kpa2727:
Keep a eye on your stores, my store got them tonight as well here in NJ.
[Google Chromecast] khmerwunder:
Here's what I did; check stock online to see if any stores around my area had them in stock. Luckily found one that did and called them. Asked how many they had and how many I could buy. They only allowed one per customer so I brought the wifey with me. Go straight to computer section where they kept them locked up and asked for one. Surprised to get the Netflix code with it considering the Play store no longer offers it. BTW this is in San Diego, CA. Could not reserve or do online store pickup. Just have to call and ask how fast they selling and how many left. Gluck.
[Google Chromecast] wtorres141:
Just picked up three at the Soho store in nyc. I called...they were still unboxing inventory. Sold out already. The rest were for preorders.
[Google Chromecast] michaelg1030:
Any other retailers sell the device besides Best Buy, Amazon, and Play Store?
[Google Chromecast] borijess:
Ebay

[Google Chromecast] Unholyfire:
Forgot to mention this yesterday. When I picked mine up at BestBuy yesterday (8/13) as a walk in customer (no pre-order), I did in fact get the 3 months of Netflix along with it. I had not heard that this offer was back. Did I miss mention of it? Or did I just get lucky?
[Google Chromecast] ImagePree:
Netflix deal only available if purchased from BB.
[Google Chromecast] beanboy89:
Finally found one at Best Buy tonight. For some reason they asked for my name, address, phone number, and email address when purchasing it. They claimed it was some kind of Chromecast "registration," but I call BS.
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
Its not BS. It is for the Netflix code that they will email you. If you are a RewardZone member then they will not ask since they have the info.
[Google Chromecast] ad78:
i already have one but checking their website there is near where im hanging out (starbucks) its like a minute drive. i asked the guy and he told me they dont have, i said its in front of you (geeksquad area) they are like 4 so i snatched 2. what a stupid ****
[Google Chromecast] borijess:
Just got my second chromecast with Netflix code.

[Google Chromecast] johnomaz:
I got 2 at a BestBuy last week. Drove over an hour to get them. Ended up getting two and having dinner at The Cheesecake Factory so it was a bit worth it. Having 2 netflix promos is nice too.
[Google Chromecast] xlcjw72:
bought 2 haha no clue what to do with the second one haha
[Google Chromecast] chateau1:
Local Best Buy has been showing ' In Store ' almost all day. Went by just now and they had about 10 Chromcast in stock below the Google Display.

Netflix code was on the recipt.
[Google Chromecast] granduke:
Do these restocked chromecasts still have the original (exploitable) firmware?
[Google Chromecast] evelbug:
When I got mine from BB the other day, it performed a system update after using it for about an hour, so I'm guessing it does have the original firmware out of the box.
[Google Chromecast] scott14719:
I just bought 2 of them at my local Best Buy in Douglasville, GA. The website showed none available within a 50 mile range, but when I walked into the store (about 8 PM) the "Google" display in the PC section had about 10 or 12 of them. I bought 2 and thought about getting 3rd, but decided I'd go with 2 for now. I also received "2" 3 month free codes for Netflix. I already have Netflix, but a friend of mine might want to check it out. Now, I have to go get an HDTV (LOL), but I have an adapter to use in the mean time.
[Google Chromecast] PaulG1488:
How can you go so long without an HDTV ? Lol
[Google Chromecast] scott14719:
I know.

The problem is (if you want to call it a problem) that I can't bring myself to buy one until one of my other TVs craps out and I need one. These damn TVs are lasting for ever! (LOL). When the Christmas sales begin this year, I think I will be picking a couple up at rock bottom prices. Until then, the Chromecast will live on my 25" (diag) tube Panasonic via converter.
[Google Chromecast] mobeast17:
Same bought 2 at best buy. Have no use for the second one. It was an impulse buy since I seen them there. Might just return it
[Google Chromecast] scott14719:
Use one for root / modify / experiment as new stuff comes along. Keep the other stock and use as intended. That way you will have one that does what it needs to do and another that could potentially do a lot more. If something screws up on the rooted one, you always have the other to use.
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
The Chromecast itself does so very little, I don't know that it is even worth it. Most of the functionality comes from the app itself and from the html5 app that is downloaded and run off the Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] EfrainTrejo:
Still no availability for chromecasts here in Arizona :mad:
[Google Chromecast] dallastx:
Agreed as we will not see any new apps anytime soon. Google just started hiring a few days ago. To get someone to add to and clean the SDK up before official release. That will be a long a wait. About to see many complaints in about 3 more weeks after the cool factor "for most" .. Wears off. .

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

I saw them available about 5 times since release as I get alerts when they are available to ship from best buy warehouse. As i am already bored with the chromecast I guess I will release my secret to those whom don't know. Go to nowinstock.net and click on the chromecast on the page, setup your alerts and you will be notified immediately when chromecast are available. The sites refreshes bestbuy site every 15 seconds. As soon as you get an alert you need to order right then as they will sell out in 20-45 min. Your order will ship next day and arrive in about 3 days. Or do next day for $8 if you want to see and feel it the next business day.
[Google Chromecast] scottee:
Thanks for this. I ordered from Best Buy the first day it was out, but it got lost in the mail, and their team and the post office haven't been overly helpful. Thinking of just ordering a new one and will try this.
[Google Chromecast] EfrainTrejo:
Will try this too thanks.
[Google Chromecast] Shinyhead:
just bought one more chromecast online from bestbuy site. only place to still get free 3 months of netflix :D
[Google Chromecast] raptir:
Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered another. It will be nice to have one for my place, one for my girlfriend's place.
[Google Chromecast] Shinyhead:
sold out again.... i guess they add stock once a day during weekdays around 9am to 11am PST...
[Google Chromecast] maDIEmG:
A lot of Best Buy locations in the Metro Atlanta region are getting shipments coming in, just this morning I was lucky enough to find one at the DeKalb Best Buy it was a bit far away but worth the drive. If you are also in the Gwinnett area the Best Buy in Snellville is getting 45 coming in today 8/30/2013 later in the day.

TL;DR: Call your local stores they may be getting some.
[Google Chromecast] Shinyhead:
shame they do not offer the 3 months netflix anymore :(
[Google Chromecast] scottx .:
Got mine today from the local best buy here. I called first to verify and she said they had 19 of them.

Be glad to get home so I can play with it. It was either that or a raspberry pi and the cc won. Maybe when the new version of the RPI comes out I'll get one.
[Google Chromecast] Smokeaire:
As I posted in a similar thread I bought a Chromecast last weekend at a Best Buy in Brentwood, Mo and got the three months of Netflix. Others are posting similar experiences. So not all is lost.
[Google Chromecast] unclejimmyb:
They are in all the Des Moines Metro area Best Buy stores. Picked one up today. I am LOVING it ! :good:
[Google Chromecast] hansonator:
The wife got me one @ BB in Spokane. I looked over the receipt but looks like no Netflix code. :( Oh well, can't wait to get it home and try it out, too bad no wifi here at the lake.
[Google Chromecast] plh233391:
Just bought mine a few hours ago at my local best buy and did not get netflix code so I called 1800-BEST-BUY and told them I did not get it even though the store stand says that it comes with the 3 free months of netflix they said sorry and sent me an email with the code. So if you just bought one call the 1800 number and they should get you a code.
[Google Chromecast] photoamat:
No luck in cumming (near Atlanta). Kennessaw and cumberland stores have some.

Did the ones yo guys just purchased come with the new update or were you still able to root?
[Google Chromecast] Shinyhead:
mine came with the original version 12720/12740 or whatever it is.

If you still want to buy a chromecast I suggest using a tracker like this.

Just ordered a 2nd from best buy online. Looks like they still have a some left. Limit one per order.
[Google Chromecast] autoprime:
I doubt they're shipping with the update so soon. Just make sure to never connect it to the internet before you root AND disable updates. Should be good to go after that.

Considering buying a 2nd CC so I can root mine this time. Damn silent updates...
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
I got one just a few weeks ago and it updated itself quickly. I just took mine back last night and simply exchanged it in for a brand new one, NO questions asked. I haven't had time to check it out and see if it's still on the original version or if it's a newer version. Based on what I've read on here, it should still be on the original version. I hope!! Lol

This actually happened to my friend this past weekend..Do they just send the code to any email address that you provide them, or do they send it to your email address that's on file if you are a RewardZone member?

Where would i find the code for the 3 months of netflix? I just received my chromecast today in the mail, (ordered online from bestbuy.com). does anyone know if they are still coming with the 3 months free?
