Black Friday Deals - Shield Tablet General

As there are still many of us looking to invest in a shield. We should start listing the best deals we can find for the tablet and official accessories for black Friday and cyber Monday.

Searching a week or two ago, I found nothing. BUT that was a week or two ago. I wonder if the app stores will have any deals on games?
---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------
So a quick search came up with
www.zdnet.com/amazon-reveals-black-friday-deals-free-paid-apps-bargain-tech-7000036001/
No shield but who knows what kind of app deals might pop up. ??

I am keeping my eyes out for deals, nothing yet. Will post if I find something

Im not having luck finding the shield on sale. I imagine amazon will go crazy with deals on apps

I'd be a but surprised if this goes in sale, the price is already great for an android tablet, but it isn't a big name like Samsung or any of the Nexus line.

Please share anything you find

Black Friday o_0.... What are you talking about..,,. The shield... THEE SHIELD tablet starts at $299.... Who needs black Friday

Last year the Shield Portable had a black friday sale everywhere. $299 reduced to $249 with the case thrown in. Also, it wasn't announced until thanksgiving day.

I'm hopeful we will get something similar this year. If so, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. If not, I'll probably buy a used LG G Pad GPE.
Personally, I'm hoping for $249 with the cover and the green box thrown in for free. Maybe even a $299 option that includes the controller.

Well, it's happening but i it's only the LTE version which I have no use for.

Have fun with that LG, completely different products for different uses there, if you are just looking for a cheap tablet then the Shield is not where you need to be anyways.

Woot! http://shield.nvidia.com/promotions...IHETpodcMTcRlPa+TFAwTG5toziV8R7HAKs1v3NsQXBXg

Booooo, what a shame, I wanted wifi one deal, not interested at all on the LTE one (I don't even have LTE on my country). Won't be buying this time, maybe next year when the price drops.

As did I. Ended up using a $30 off $150 purchase at tigerdirect.com

I wonder is that just when buying direct from Nvidia or if other retailers are included also.

I sent an email asking the same question I will update when I get a response.
Update:
c l: Will the black Friday Sale of the Nvidia Shield tablet be available only online?
Mohemed Arshad: Let me check on that.
c l: Ok thanks
Mohemed Arshad: Yes, Black Friday Sale of NVIDIA SHIELD is available only Online. Retails store information has not updated on the website yet. More info will be updated soon
c l: So to confirm the sale will only be available online and not in any of the physical stores?
Mohemed Arshad: That information is not updated yet, currently its only for online stores.

Glad I have free LTE

I really hope we see a deal on the wifi version as well, even just toss in the case for free or something.

Xoom at Staples for $399 ($499.98 - $100 coupon)

Staples has a $100 discount on any tablets and that makes the Xoom $399.
I had bought the Xoom from Staples when they only had $50 coupon and today they refunded another $50 when I showed the new coupon. Thy returned the previous purchase and sold it back to me at the lower price.

Thanks for bringing attention to this coupon zzxyz! I found the coupon over in the XDA_Developers Asus Transformer forum earlier this morning. I bought my TF over a month ago but I bought my Xoom at Best Buy 9 days ago when the price dropped to $499.00. I took the Staples coupon in to Best Buy and asked them if they could do anything for me. They handed me $106.65 in cash. Awesome! Xoom for $399.00 Thanks again for bringing attention to this coupon in our Xoom forum!

sweet. bought xoom at best buy last week for $499.00..think I'll try this and see if I can get some money back....
Crazy deal they got going on. You can get a Dell Streak 7 for $199. Not too shabby if you're on a budget.
I'm getting the xoom next week on friday (July 29th) after I cash my check. Spending all of my money on that thing.
picked mine up today and am loving it. Great price!
Is there a way to know where the Xoom was purchased or would you need the receipt?

You would need the reciept for staples. They also have 15% off all the tablet accessories at time of purchace and 25% back in rewards store wide (tablets and normal exclusions apply)
Also their accidental damage plans are being fulfilled with cash cards for store credit not refurbished...
Dell streak 200 with coupon
Xoom 400
Acer iconia 300
And more pretty slick
(Somewhat of a staples bias )
Just so everyone knows places that price match also are taking the coupon. I just picked up an Asus Transformer at HH Gregg for 399.99. They honored Staples coupon.
Try Best Buy as well
Edit: Make everyone's life a little easier.. See coupon below

I am debating get me first tablet from this deal. But having a hard time deciding if I should get the Xoom or the Asus Transformer.
Or should I wait to see whats coming in the next few months...
For sure you need a receipt, I just purchased mine last night!!!!

xoom!!! (You are on the xoom forum)
Great support from independent developers.
Honestly chances are you will be happy with either. I wouldn't stress too much. If you wait a couple of months what's to stop you from waiting a couple more months and then more and more.
There will Always be something around the corner that will be better, and I don't see anything coming soon that's would be worth waiting for.
Get one and start playing

But
The Killers blows for choosing the SGSIII were removable battery & expandable memory. Plus all the other things smart stay etc.

Looks like Samsung is out hunting for girls.
I get mine on the 29th. I've got 3 days of work at the London MCM Expo, so it should kill some time.
i should be getting mine on the 31st through amazon.
bits i have also ordered are the dual pack of slim samsung cases, the tpu blue case(samsung), an extra battery,pack of 2 screen protectors(samsung) and recently the rock hard cover. Im always unsure which case will work best, but i hate the flip tops.
according to amazon, the screen protector should arrive on the 29th, the battery on the 1s of June. The covers are ordered from mobilefun and i have no info on those..
Pebble blue for me as well, and i have an extra 16GB micro SD waiting for the phone...
Aha! replaced my delivery method with amazon and now ill get it on the 30th of May! yeah!
Ordered mine through dialaphone for delivery on the 30th, so only 5 more sleeps! It comes with a case and 32GB card, but they turn up in a month which seems a bit bizarre!
I've ordered a rock case with screen protectors, a car holder, a bike holder for my golf trolley and some nfc chips to play with

I ordered 10 25mm ultralight ones from nfcdog.com it came to just under £11
But having read up some more apparently the 38mm ones are easier to use as you don't have to be as accurate with them
The plan is to for one in each holder to auto launch the correct program when I insert the phone. And one by the bed to turn the phone into silent
Did an early upgrade with Orange last night, guy on the phone was very helpful, 36 a month, 1000 mins, unlimited texts and 1gb of data.
I lost my SGS1 about a month a go and my bank have replaced it for me with an SGS2! which i will sell towards the early upgrade cost and any accesories i buy.
Gonna go with the 64gb sandisk mobile ultra sd card, and some sort of pouch.
Is there anywhere i can buy an official pebble blue battery cover? I'm concerned that because i'm upgrading through Orange that it'll have an Orange logo on the back cover and all the bloatware, can anyone shed any light on if this was the case for the SG2 or other newish handsets?
Been so indecisive on wether to get the blue or white that even now i've ordered i'm starting to have second thoughts
Ordered mine as a free upgrade from my s2. £29 per month 2000 anyone anytime mins 5000 texts 5000 3-3 mins truly unlimited web with no throttling. Result..... been hearing a lot in last hour blue s3 is delayed. Hope not tho

adz > What network is that with?
I've had mine ordered since the 5th of May. This has been the longest wait of my life!! I'm upgrading from an iPhone 3GS to the Pebble Blue S3 - 16GB + a 32GB SD card and cover.
I hope these delay rumours are unfounded! I was praying that because it was pre-ordered it could possibly arrive on the 29th.
This is my first Android phone ever!! So I'm looking forward to getting my hand dirty and showing its capabilities off to the iSheeple in my family (and friends).
Waiting for my sim-free blue S3 from Clove (hopefully not delayed!). Not planning on getting any accessories apart from at some point a case for the beach,and maybe the wireless charging kit when it's available but that will depend on price really. Already received and activated my replacement micro sim from Three so everything is ready

3 uk. They would not give me a deal and I said if you want my custom you'll have to offer me something better than what's on site. They said they couldn't so I asked to be put through to disconnection. They then sorted me out this deal..

I ordered the pebel blue Samsung Galazy S3 that comes with a 32gb card a screen protector and a pouch..
it's with Vodafone £29 a month for 24 months..
On top of that i ordered a few items to go with the phone..
1 x 64gb card
1x Samsung blue case
1x Car Holder + charger
1x Anti finger print screen protector
i have everything just waiting for the phone is killing me. But then again next Wednesday and we should be all good yay..
5 more days people lol..
I have a One X, but I have discovered that I can't live with just the available 25GB storage. The battery isn't such an issue, but I will certainly be happier with a removable one.
The One X has had teething problems. For example I still haven't got GPS, and HTC have said to get it, I will have to send it back for repair. So I have ordered a S3, from Carphone Warehouse, to collect on the 30th. I have got a 64Gb card, and I am looking forward to the 50GB Dropbox storage; double the amount that the HTC has. I wonder what - if any - teething problems the S3 will have?
When I get the One X back, I will compare them, and keep the best.

16GB Galaxy Note ready for pick up

Seems that Best Buy has the 16GB Galaxy Note in-stock at the stores, while the 32GB is not yet. Might change as the day goes by, but I would think its worth the extra $50 for the extra 16GB of built in storage.

Yeah. Originally there was a possibility I would be getting the 10.1 tonight, but I'm really leaning toward the 32GB version. Might be a few days.
I guess Best Buy will not be carrying the 32 in stores. HHGREGG by me has a $50 off coupon for purchases of $499 and more so I think i will just get the 16GB and at least it will only be $449. I can live.
For those that want the 32GB, I guess you can get the 16GB now and exchange it for a 32GB when they become available in the store. You would have to pay the difference and hope that it is before the 30 days.

HHGregg specifically says that the $50 off $499 cannot be used on Unilateral Price Policy products. I can't imagine Galaxy Note 10.1 not being registered as one because it definitely is.
I missed that line. Good catch! Well that sucks!
Just picked mine up from Best Buy. They definitely didn't have the 32gb in stock.

Just order off there website and see if it is available for pickup. Or order off amazon and avoid sales tax and wait a little or use the savings from sales tax to get overnight shipping. Plus if you have an amazon store credit card no interest for 12 months on all orders over 499

This was exactly my experience. Except I went to Amazon and saved a lot of money that way. It was the taxes and extended warranty that was way cheaper.

Thanks, is yours a 16 or 32gb one? i'm going to make it more clear in op
Starting to get impression there's no way to predict lte/wifi and size from purely the serial number, ah well.
But it definitely seems like you can predict location and date of manufacture though.

Sorry for the late reply. But yes. Mine was manufactured in august! Yay me =)
Mine says 2013.09 N7LTE 32G, not much problem with the grounding IF it is plugged with main charger, started to act weird if it's not....annoying a tad but doesn't do enough justice for me to go the extra mile for exchanging hassle since there are no play store in region.

This is an LTE 32 Gb. Manufactured 08/2013 in China.
The 2nd digit seems to be the month. If the month is only one digit, then they'll have to go to letters for those made in Oct through Dec. Either that or 2nd & 3rd place are the month.
D70KBC2XXXXX 32 gig wifi only modele
2013.07 China
Bought on google store
N7 serial
Mine has
K008
DA0KBC******
It's 32G wifi.
Made in China Bought from Craiglist Feb 2014.
To those with the later models, do you still have the grounding issues? I'm thinking of purchasing a new one and would like to know if the hardware problem is fixed on those models. That way I just give mine, that was the initial release batch, to my girlfriend. She won't notice the issue. Thanks.

I got my n7 last month but its old July 2013 stock. Was anything fixed in later batches that can't be fixed via software?

Where to buy in New York?

Hi, as an unhappy owner if the Nexus 5X, I am looking to buy a 6P. As an EU resident however, I won't put up with the ridiculous price over here. Luckily for me, I am going to NY next week, and if I manage to find one for the right price, I will definitely get one.
I want to ask some local people for some tips and places where to look for one. It also doesn't have to be new..even refurbished or second hand in great condition would do.
Thanks

Best Buy in NY have it in stock. Check their website.f
Check bestbuy, create an account if it is in stock and you can just pick it up with your photo ID and CC if you're afraid it'll be out of stock by the time you get there.

Or B&H link
So 499 is the lowest as I can get? What about some places that sell used or refurbished ones?
Thanks

It's not New York, but they're refurbished.

OP: I assume you know that the US version (1511) only supports certain bands of the international version (1512) that may limit the usage in EU and elsewhere. A reminder post, if nowt else.

as @thecarp1975 said or you can check swappa on this link for the 6p. If you have friends or trust someone, do the purchase now because it could take sometime for the shipping
kboya
Guy from a local forum has bought the 5X from US and all the bands are working..he also posted a picture of the box with all the EU bands listed..but I might double check on that one

I'm in NY and for the last 3 weeks they were on sale. Best buy had the 32 gb version for 450 and 64 gb got 500
A store known to most in the NY and NJ area called b & H photo had them even cheaper.... 32 gb for 425 and 64 gb for 475, no tax and included a $50 gift card to use at the b&h store now. Unfortunately, those sales ended a couple of days ago on March 27th. I was lucky enough to get the 64 gb for 475

got one on order myself through the B&H website unfortunately when I placed mine they had just ran out of stock and the availability date keeps getting pushed back. Went from 3/29 to 4/8 now. Disappointed as I've had good luck with them in the past

B&H is awesome. They recently had a sale where all 6P's were 50 cheaper plus a 50$ gift card... So everyone bought from them, that's why they are now ridiculously backordered.

yes probably going to somehow find some patience if I still want that discount :laugh: I'm sure it doesn't help that I got the 64 GB graphite which I see as potentially quite popular.
Looking forward to the upgrade from the original Nexus 5 to the 6p though. hopefully they won't make me wait too long
