If true, you can get a refund up to 90 days. I am calling tomorrow to check it out. I bought mine 3 days ago.
I just got $50 plus tax refunded. Thanks for the tip.
Also, Wall Mart reduced it by $50, too.
Amazon.com (direct from Acer) is now below $400.
Target offers them now at $399.00 And with a 15% discount, cost is $340... I already own a VS Gtab, Asus TF, and the Xoom but at that price, I can't resist... Do I have an addiction to tablets?

I do not thing so
Is this a permanent price drop or is it only temporary? I'm looking at getting one but don't know when I'll be able to because I'm still saving up but other hobbies are taking up my money.

I too got my $50 but I had additional hoops to jump through. Since I was outside the traditional 30 day return window, (where costco can send back to the manufacturer) I had to go and BUY a whole new unit at the 429 price, take it over to refunds and return it on my original receipt. A little bit of trouble (had to have $429 available to buy the unit), but hey, it reset my 90 day return window and it reset my 3 year warranty (2 year costco, 1 year AMEX)

May I ask how to get the 15% off? Haven't found any coupon on it ...
Walked in, showed receipt, origional purchase date 50 days ago, no problem, credited my account.
Even gave me back my $50 membership since they aren't building one near where I live for 2 more years!
$398.00 at Walmart!
I think the price is going down to complete directly with the Transformer. Also, the newer models are out with more memory and the Windows platform.
The reason other places are still at the higher prices my assumption is that these units are already in channel at a price point from Acer (to ensure they had enough stock to sell). They do not want to sell these on thinner margins. Although...do they accept price matches with Walmart or Target?

Costco has a 32GB version, what about Walmart? From walmart online, the price for 16GB is still $449, the 32GB is $498, so the b&m price is 398 now for 16GB, right?
Since I was 2 weeks outside the traditional 30 days return policy. I got $50.00 cash card instead......
Which one do you like best?

target has them in stock for $399 until Oct.
the october date is suspect to me, that to me says Acer is bringing out another unit in Oct.
Target $399 + $50 gift card
I have next weeks sales flyer. Starting tomorrow (Sunday 7-17-11) Target is selling the A500 16gb for $399 + a $50 gift card *while supplies last.
If my math is correct that is like getting the A500 for $349 .
Best Buy and Staples both advertise the "new low price" as $399.99 starting tomorrow.
I think we are going to be seeing many more Acer A500 owners
just got my $50 back from Target for the Acer I bought two weeks ago. Life is good!
I just wanted to share my purchase . I got this deal and can't be happier . only 405 for the 16gb . I payed on sunday night and got my thrive by tuesday ! great buy ! can't pass it up ! enter promo code : thrive405
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ve-16gb-for-405-with-coupon-from-digital-etc/
I'll pay another $75 and get it from Costco... this way in 89 days I can return it and get the next tablet
I just picked mine up 2 days ago, found one on kijiji here locally the person had received the 32gb thrive with portfolio case and standard dock as a gift. He posted for 500$ and I got it all for 450$. He had also installed a screen protector, I think I got a good deal.
Grats Kyle, you got a deal
yeah whoever bought it was into it for 700 before tax
Don't really see the purpose of the standard dock and still need to figure alot out about the transferring files between my thrive and atrix. All in all I'm pretty pleased with the tablet.
It was only $379 at staples for the 16gb if you used the coupon

What coupon & is it still valid?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
No..it ran to the end of july. It was $100 off any android tablet, with few exceptions.
Staples is sold out but you might still get the coupon for future use
Been looking around and not sure if this is the BEST deal but this is the best I could find.
First get this Staples coupon: (you pay $7.5 for $15 gift card)
$7.50 For A $15 Staples® Gift Card
Then Staples hasthe pre-order for the 16GB version with free shipping:
Google Nexus 7 16GB Tablet (Pre-sale Only)
Once you add the order into the cart, you'll see it says expected delivery is 7/12-17. You can apply the gift card at the checkout for a net of $7.5 saving.
Note: Just found out that this is not an instant discount. After you purchase, they'll send you the gift card by mail and then you can use it to redeem at staples.com.
Additional note: I found the coupon through bigcrumbs.com For those who doesn't know about this site, it's the 100% legit cash back site supports tons of vendor online. Below are the available cash back it offers for the vendors that sells Nexus 7:
Office Depot - up to 4.2% you can use following free item coupon (not sure if you can combine them all)
336010166 - Large Beach Tote Bag or Burt's Bees Head/Toe Kit
823541225 - Dane Butter Cookies
156437297 - Free Mystery Gift
595897257 - $15 Gas card
Adorama - up to 2.8%
GameStop - up to 3.5%
Walmart - up to 2.8% cashback (crrently pre-order only)
MacMall - up to 2.8% cashback
If Best Buy ever decide to sell the Nexus 7, the bigcrumbs offers 4.2% cash back.
Again, if you want to get cash back, you must sign up with bigcrumbs.com and find vendor in the site and go through its own links.

I am not associated with bigcrumbs but thought online shoppers might benefit from this place.
Edit:
Just found out bigcrumbs also have 2.8 cashback from Adorama.com which also has the nexus 7 for pre-order.

Just remember that if you have a Staples in your state you have to pay taxes.
This deal would still cost me about 270$
yea tax is the big killer.. but at least free shipping. too bad I missed out on the J&R deal someone else posted.
Staples' expected delivery date is interesting. Not sure if this implies delivery for all pre-orders or this is for Staples only.
Cool find, i would be buying a Nexus 7 since i no longer want android phones
We're so spoiled in Oregon, no Sales Tax and it's against the law for us to pump our own gas, we have to sit and let the attendants do it for us.
Thanks for the finds!
You really could have mentioned that it takes them 24 hours to generate the coupon code and it's not an instant ordeal.

MacMall has it to pre order for a flat $249.00 for the 16gig http://www.macmall.com/ I've ordered a lot of things from them and never had a problem thus for.
Using my last yearly associate computer related hardware discount on this and just got a $27 gift card from a warranty on a hard drive that's still good...
Hope to walk out the door spending $200 or less

Anyone pre-ordered Nexus 7 from Staples.com ?
I am seeing this in my order status.
We're sorry, but problems with your order may prevent us from delivering it on time.
That is probably because Google told everyone to wait until they said so
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
this last minute hold is messing up those vendor's check out process. The word is most places will start taking new per-order and shipping again next week.
Updated some free item coupon on 1st page you can use on your office depot order.
walmart is starting the pre-order as well with less than $1 shipping. see 1st post for details.
For those asking if you still get the $25 google wallet credit the answer is YES :good:
Staples is now taking orders on the website with 2 day delivery, you can also locate stores that have it in stock, but call the store first as the store I tried today said they weren't allowed to sell until next week (probably Monday) even though they have them in stock.
If "you" work for Walmart you can get 10% off, and you can pay when pickup at Walmart now s mabey preorder and pay when pickup at site to store

I just thought that a thread dedicated to finding a great deal on this amazing tablet during the upcoming shopping season would be helpful.
I recently missed an opportunity to get the 32GB version for $349 plus tax, and the 16GB version for $399 plus tax. I would've jumped all over these deals, but I was too late... I figured a central location for people to report deals would be helpful to all! I can't wait to get my hands on mine.
So far the only deal I've seen is HH Gregg selling for $449 on Black Friday (16GB). I'm really hoping to get it for $399. I'm crossing my fingers that Amazon drops in to that price to best the competition.
I can't wait to join the community here!
Update: Best deal is at Amazon for $449 (one-day free shipping with Discover card, plus 5% cash back!).

I also read abt $399 deals but I guess they were fake. I really couldnt find it on B**tB*y or the other store. I finally bought one from A**zon for $604.99. It is 3G+WiFi 16GB.
Keep checking this thread on SlickDeals.net; it's continually updated. So far there are a lot of deal on the G-Tab 2 but not the Note. MacMall has the 16GB Note for $419.99 and the 32GB for $469.99 with free shipping (2-day if you belong to ShopRunner).

They weren't fake - it was a glitch on Toys-R-Us' website. They quickly shut that down. It was a deal that was supposed to exclude tablets, but when you added it to your cart it still applied the discount.
Also, the other deal was an error as well. Fry's meant to post a one day sale on the Tab 2, and instead posted a one day sale on the Note. So you could get the 32GB version for $349 through price matching at BB that day.
@barry - thanks! That's the best deal I've seen so far!

Good catch! Amazon does too, plus one day shipping free if you have a Discover card. Also you get 5% cash back if you use Discover, so that sort of lowers the price to around $425-ish, shipped. This will easily beat Mac Mall's $419 + tax! I may snag one now... Black Friday pricing doesn't seem to be much better from what I'm seeing.
Anyone suspect a better deal will be lurking out there before BF?

Bought one from Currys in the UK (note N8010)
Got them to pricematch another retailer bringing it down to
£312.90
They have an extra £30 rebate off when you buy any case (this is on top of Samsungs £50 rebate offer)
Purchased this for £12.99
Got cash back from a cash back site (topcashback) this confirmed at £9.19
Purchased on my credit card that gives 1% cashback £3.13
This makes me either very lucky or very sad but total sale price including the case will be £233.57 (aprox $375 including all taxes)
For those in the US, just saw white Galaxy Note 10.1 16GB at Costco for $429.
Unfortunately with tax the Costco deal is more expensive than most online retailers. NewEgg, Frys, Amazon, and Macmall have the 16GB for 449.99 and the 32GB for 499.99. I'm waiting for a better deal..

--- edit ---
On a related note, for those who already own their Note and bought it at Future Shop, FS has extended their price protection on anything purchased on or after Nov. 2 to extend to the Jan. 6th (rather than being only 30 days of price protection). I got my $50 back yesterday. Just had to go into the store with my receipt, and have the credit card I used to make the purchase originally.

$449.00(32g) @ "Staples/Bureau En Gros" too and we had a $50.00 coupon good for 3 days (Black Friday Week-End) = $399.00
Staples in canada also has the 32gb for 449. I'm signed up for their newsletter and I got a 50 off coupon on purchases over 400 so I got the Note for 399 over the weekend.
Head to WWW.microcenter.com. they have the 32gb on sale for $199 right now.

Just a quick heads up.... I picked mine up, today, from Staples. I printed the sale page from Microcenter (which is an hour away, in the city) and they matched it for me!
I saw this on Slickdeals. Not only was I able to call Staples and have them price match the 32GB to $200. I then used the $30 off coupon code they have to take it down to $170. I'm talking about $183 and change out the door for the 32GB! Great deal.

My 32GB just arrived today! Looks like I'll be jumping back and forth now between these forums and the Nexus 5 forums. Can finally put my HP TouchPad to rest, although it has served me well running CM10.1.

Those of you that got the deal of price match and then $30 off at staples are lucky because according to the Staples price match they were suppose to deduct the $30 from the $269 price and then price match. Here is their policy on that, taken from their web site.
If you buy an item from us for $159 and you have a $30 coupon, the net price is $129. If another company’s price is $125, your price match would be $4 off our net price of $129. Dollars-off coupons will be proportionally deducted from the prices of items in your order.
