All Nexus 7 come with the Transformers movie?

I just ordered the Nexus 7 today and was just curious if the movie was only to pre-ordered tablets or if it came with every purchase.

Everyone received it.
I noticed on my YouTube account under purchases, that it labels it as a £5.00 purchase. LOL

No, it doesn't show up til you activate the tablet.
Took a couple of minutes to show up on mine, as soon as I did the OTA update to 4.1.1

Oh, ok thanks. So only thing I don't get is the $25 credit since I didn't pre-order correct?

No, everyone gets it. Doesn't matter where you purchase it, instore, from google, pre-order or not.

Sorry to revive this old topic but instead of making a new one this one actually fits my bill, I am about to buy a nexus 7 next week and I would like to know if I buy it this month do I still get the $25 google play credit and the movie and books?
Thanks

Yes

I didn't receive the movie nor the $25. This is probably because the machine isn't officially available yet in my country (Belgium).

That is my biggest fear since I live in Brazil, so I am thinking of asking my parents in the USA to buy the Nexus 7 activate it there for me and buy what I want then whenever it arrives in Brazil I would not have any region specific problems.

Well It's not like it's a stellar movie so I don't really care much

Is there any way to watch it on a computer? I assume its streaming, so it would likely know what device you're using.

Also, I don't think you get it if you buy a 2nd hand nexus, even in a country where it's available

Mines came with Ice Age (the first one)

If I remember after reading a recent androidcommunity story it depends on the region you live in. I believe North America is Transformers 3 and Europe and the like got ice age and a TV show of some sort.

IMO Playstore is your best bet. Its $14 for shipping, but you get a $25 playstore credit, a free copy of Transformers, and the best warranty service.

You get that anywhere just by activating it.
Don't know where you are. Here you can get them at staples, office Depot and frys electronics.

I got mine at staples because I hate waiting for shipping.

Play store. No problems with my N7 and then shipping is fast.

Walmart. Tax free weekend, I can have it now, and easy returns which unfortunately is a big possibility with this device. In fact, I've already returned one in 12 hrs due to ghosting, back light issues, and image retention. I tried to get the csr to annotate it on the return slip..but she just shrugged and said it was easier to write "doesn't work". Shame, hope it doesn't make it back on the shelf when someone unfamiliar with these issues thinks its fine because it boots and sends it back out into the wild.

I wasn't aware of that but it's still my understanding Google will only handle the warranty if you buy from them otherwise you have to deal with Asus.

Got mine at OfficeMax. I also got the 2 year protection package they offer for $29. It covers spills, drops, surges, fire you name it.

What the best insurance for nexus 7?

And screen protector!

With the price being as low as it is, there's not really a 3rd party insurance that is worth the trouble. If you can get one from say bestbuy, where you get the bestbuy protection plan, its one story. They'll let you get a replacement right off the shelf with no waiting. These 3rd party insurance plans are more expensive to begin with, and they make you mail your hardware half way around the world turning it into a 2 week ordeal to get an issue fixed. The headache of dealing with the insurance company only over the phone and through emails and the longer wait just isn't worth it for something that you can buy for under $200.

The only one I found from Best Buy online was a16gb. It was on "sale" for $279 (I believe) . To make it even better, it was through a 3rd party business. SKETCH!
Walmart has a 2 year replacement plan for $28. Can't beat that.

out of stock all walmarts here so cali :banghead:

I just got my nexus yesterday from Walmart, and like the poster above me said, 28 is the best deal you're gonna get. Don't believe that Sold out crap. If you can buy and pick up at the store, they have it. If you're calling the store, they're just gonna tell you it's sold out without checking. Happened to me all day yesterday.

Go through Wally World online. Yeah it might not make it in time but worth the wait. I got my 32 for $249 which wasn't horrible but I was sold on the replacement plan that covers just about anything. And besides, Walmart takes just about anything back.

Agreed. Happened to me too. Go look for yourself, you just might get lucky.

Squaretrade+case
50 dollars for 3 years of accidental insurance+12 case. Pretty good imo

Squaretrade accidental 2 year policy. It does not cover lost devices but will cover damage with no deductible and a 5 day turnaround. They also hand out coupons like candy so the plan i got was roughly 35 dollars. Which is cheaper than some premium cases. Best option imho

Just itemize it under your homeowners or renters insurance. $200 coverage prob runs about $15 / year depending on who you are with.

I prefer to buy my electronic devices through Best Buy because of their insurance coverage (went through 3 DINC2's and didn't pay a penny to replacr) but they weren't selling them in my area. I ended up buying mine at Office Depot. Insurance was about $70 which I think may be a little too much, but it covers EVERYTHING.

[Q] buy nexus 7

I will fly to US in two weeks, and I want to know where I can buy the nexus 7 32g 3g. There is google store or something like this? Or I must order in the internet? And someone know if they (google) in the in stock?
And final Q , how much it's need to cost. In the play store it's cost 300$ it's the right price? Sorry for my bad English.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

I don't know about the 3g model for sure but wal-mart has the 32 gig models. Best buy would probably be a good place to look for the 3g model

but in the same price? And 32good without 3g it's still good
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Wal-mart, office supply stores and game stores usually carry the 32GB WiFi version. Best buy doesn't sell the nexus 7 in store, and I've never seen the 3g model in any store, though I haven't looked in about a month so that may have changed.
And yes, everywhere I've seen them they've been the same price as on Google play, $250 for the 32GB WiFi.

[Q] Where to buy Nexus 4 in USA (NY or Orlando), street stores

Hi!
I'll be in USA between May 29 and Jun 8. Five days in NY (until Jun 3) and 5 days in Orlando (from Jun 4 on).
Is there any street store where I can buy a Nexus 4 without any contracts?
It seems that T-Mobile is selling the phone in this conditions on some selected stores.
Best buy is selling only with contract, as long as I could check.
Anybody who has useful info can help me, please?
Thanks.
Regards.

Only place I can think of in NYC would be Mobilecityonline. But they might charge an arm and a leg for it.

Hummm, thank you!
They are selling the unlocked version for about US$470. It's not so different from T-Mobile, which are selling the unlocked one for about US$ 457
UPDATE: I just realized that Best Buy sells the unlocked one (or Unactivated as they say) for about US$600!!! This is an arm and a leg!
Thanks!

I am not sure if its possible for you, but the cheapest and easiest way out is to preorder and get it delivered where ever u are going stay. All other options would definitely be expensive.

Yes, this is the best option. I know.
The problem is to be sure that the product will be delivered exact in the "window time" when I'll be there. I know the hotels where I'll be, but I'm not sure about the shipping times.
Do you have any experience about this? How many days Google Play Store takes to ship to NYC or Orlando from the purchase date?

I'm guessing you will stay around the Disney/international drive area? I'd offer to have it shipped to my place and just drop off wherever you are at but my schedule is pretty hectic during the summer.
I'll pm you a site where you can probably strike a deal with somebody more trustworthy in the Orlando area... That's IF you feel comfortable...

I'm pretty sure you can only buy a Nexus 4 from a T-Mobile store, but they price it much higher than what Google sells it for (Around $500)

You can go to Staples, Office Max or Best Buy to buy the New Nexus 7 tablet. It's the wifi model so no contracts.
