Just to clarify, is there any particular benefit from ordering it from Google, as opposed to Ebuyer for example?
Certainly is to me.
If I have a problem, I don't want some other company in the middle.
I don't think you get the extra's like the £15 credit & the film unless you buy from Google.
Okay, so the £9 I could save getting it from Ebuyer is not really worth it?
ebuyer seem to suggest we do get the £15 credit - I didn't notice it when I ordered, I think it's been added since.

However, I cannot seem to find the footnote for the asterisk besides the line stating the £15 voucher :/
Yeah there's no footnote that I can see either. I'm sure they'll soon open a discussion thread for it, and plenty of people will be asking. I made the decision to order it from ebuyer not expecting to get the credit but it will be a nice bonus if I do. Delivery time was more important to me.
I couldn't find the * as well but if you look at the banner on the right hand side it doesn't show one
I used quidco and got 2% cash back (£4). Not much but every bit helps.
£196 for the tablet with £15 credit and free delivery. :good:
The credit and freebies seem
to be included with US retail sales. (Staples advertises the credit). I'm guessing that sales out of the US may or may not include them - but that there will be no difference between Google Play or third party sellers.
I assume that the main advantage is delivery time.
Google is presumably walking a tightrope, trying to both ensure consumer access to its hardware with Play, and trying to not undercut the retail channels it is wooing.
D'oh - Well spotted
This is the sort of discussion the stickies are for.

Just got my CES ticket! Totally psyched.
Anyone else going?
If no, i'll happily cover the event for you guys =D
If yes, how about a meetup? Would be epic to meet some of you guys.
no-one, huh? :/
A coverage of the event would do for me. Thanks.
||I'm just a PM away for help||
Oh it would only cost me about 5000 euros to go there. No biggy, I have a few flecks of dust in an old sock somewhere....
A coverage will do just fine.
Yeah, I lucked out by registering early enough that the tickets were free. The drive from SoCal to Vegas just isn't that bad, and my uncle LOVES Vegas so I was able to 'borrow' some of his 'frequent hotel miles ' (whatever they're actually called ) so its really cheap.
Sadly I'm fairly hard up for money, so I (probably) can't afford a decent camera.... Hopefully I'll be getting a galaxy note ii by then tho, and I plan on just switching on Google+ instant upload for my pictures so anyone who's interested can check it out.
Now what I really want is a galaxy camera, but I think that's asking for a bit much.
Trying to get a new phone for the event..... Saving up for a Note II...
Figured I'd bump this.....
Is no one else going? :/
How much are the tickets? And how'd you get it for free?

If you register early enough they're free. I registered as soon as registration opened. They get progressively more expensive as time goes by though, so that means that if tickets are even still available they're gonna cost an arm and a leg.
Ill check how much they cost now (if they're still available) when I get home.

So, will you be holding out for the second batch from the Play store or purchasing from somewhere else?
I've called Google a couple of times and been given no definite answer very vague in fact. 'Check online'
I've phoned and called into CarPhoneWarehouse local to me, 'N4, don't know, no idea'
Where else have you tried?
Dates for availability?
Prices?
I'm waiting oin mine to be dispacthed but I do believe Google are starting to say 2 weeks a lot more consistently in their emails. Not the greatest of info but I hope it's a start.. :good:
Well I didn't get one so I'm holding for the next Batch.
Went to my local CPW this morning they did have them in stock but they for contact only.
I did get to play around with one. I must say its a big stop up from the plastic galaxy nexus

They will be selling it SIM-free, but they're not sure when. They're waiting for the green light from HQ and they're waiting for more stock to come in. Because they're not sure when they're selling they are also unsure of pricing. I have been told £349.99 directly but there are rumours it's going to be £389.99, as you can see from the graph above.

Once again google ordering system as failed me. My all access music at 7.99 was doing fine billing to my T-Mobile account well not anymore it had a problem and where it could not renew and lost the special pricing within a few days. So I give up spent 2 hours trying to work with google to fix this and I can't ever get the pricing back. And my account renew last month fine.
Another even better issue is I have ordered about 30 nexus 4's and most were from the play store but at some point I found it cheaper to just order a replacement and I didn't have to pay tax saved like 30 bucks. I would just not send back the original wait to get billed. Well lets just say there is a about 3,000 dollars (I never paid for them I know) worth of phones just pending it's been like 6 months or more for most. I thought it had to do with a expired card which is not expired (this is related to the music all access problem I had to update card info) even with a brand new card orders still have not moved.
I'm done with paying google for any services they are too big to have such a stupid system.
Let me get this straight...
You ordered a few replacements and failed to send the original phones back to Google. At which point they kept billing you full price for the new phones they were sending you, accruing to "$3,000" that you still owe Google. Meanwhile, you don't understand why they will no longer honor your $7.99/month all access pricing after your last $7.99 payment failed. And in the end you are angry that Google can't get their "ordering" right?
Your logic is astounding...

fix YOUR own issues of not paying what YOU owe, or google isnt going to be the only one thats ignoring you.
Lol good that you are done with Google services. They deserve better buyers. Now pay what u owe Google before start whining again.

I looked at my local Walmart on Thursday and there was no Chromecast with the Roku products.
Next time you're there, I'm very curious to know what serial numbers they have... and whether they are of the format 3xxx101xxxxx or something different.
Just look on their site. If one is avail at a store near you the site will tell Ya. Then head on down to check the serial. It's 2013

Back to WalMart today. Might have missed them the other day as they were in a special cardboard floor display at the end of an isle.
Must have been over twenty of them, mostly 3A's but there were around six or so that were 3802 and 3807 but I didn't pry out the three that were in separate pockets! :laugh:
Of course its now in WalMart, that where all worthless old technology goes.

Your mileage may vary, my Chromecast is far from worthless.
While I would never buy a computer from Wal-Mart, lots of people buy TVs and other consumer stuff there.
Chromecast in Wal-Mart means more market penetration (I recently noticed the TV ads for Chromecast), and now they're finally making active strides for outside development with a hackathon at Google HQ.
Looking at the serial numbers alone, we have at least 30M Chromecasts produced, and that's using a conservative calculation of 10K units per first-four range, but there should definitely be more than 10K per, as the final 5 positions are definitely alphanumeric.
It appears Amazon is delaying at least some of the preorders of the Pixel 4 in orange until sometime between late November and January. I preordered on the first day (October 15) and just received an email that my phone won't be coming anytime soon. It was scheduled to be delivered today. I ordered it with the $100 Amazon GC, which has already shipped. Anybody else get a similar email from Amazon?

Lots of people. Take a look at the 4xl thread. People being charged $100 for the gift card if they cancel the order too. Basically screwed by Amazon if you want the device in a timely fashion.

I'm curious if you'd be able to do a chargeback for false advertisement or something.
I'm sure you could but they'd probably block you or something for purchasing phones in the future.
I'm honestly not surprised. This also happens with PC hardware orders very regularly. I've just learned to avoid trying to buy any newly released electronics from them. Sorry to see you're going through this. :/
Mine arrived 1 day ahead of time.
My Amazon package even lost somehow with courier 2 days ago...
