It’s that time again folks. Many of you finally got a chance to buy the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer from Best Buy when they made a relatively large amount of units available, but we know a few of you couldn’t get in on the fun right away. Best Buy’s stock has since been depleted, but another knight in shining armor comes to save the day – TigerDirect. Their offering is a bit more expensive than the MSRP, but that’s because they bundle it with other things.
The 16GB model comes with an HDMI cable and a screen cleaning kit, while the 32GB model comes with headphones and an 8GB microSD card. They cost $430 and $580 respectively. Yea, it’s a bit more than what other retailers want for it, but considering how hard it’s been to find one of these we can’t imagine you folks won’t bite the bullet. Go ahead, get one before they run out. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
Just use nowinstock.net
That’s an awesome site, Also I’m gonna hold off and wait to see what the samsung 10.1 and 8.9 are like, they should be out in a week or two anyway
You know that Samsung 10.1 does not have microsd card slot right?
LOL I was going to get one. Then I read that and almost died.
An SD Card?! Come on MOTO!!! Enable it on the Xoom already. /sigh
Just ordered the transformer and as soon as it arrives will be returning my xoom because of its non-functioning sd card slot.
I was going to purchase the transformer…now waiting for the amazon quad core beast.
keep going
you can wait about year for 4 cores
also couple years for other X cores…
I recall retailers pulling this kind of shit with the Wii – when something’s in demand and they can’t fiddle with the price of the actual item, they bundle a few extra high-margin items with it. It’s hard to blame them, but it’s not exactly good behavior, either.
nowinstock worked for me to get the keyboard.TigerDirect is upping the price. I got mine at BestBuy, although I did have to pay sales tax, probably made it about the same (assuming no sales tax at Tiger Direct).
did you actually get one? they put mine on backorder
Mine has shipped from BB, I ordered Sunday night
I’m tired of these shenanigans… I’m waiting for the Tegra 3 tablets.
good luck, keep waiting when others are playing with existing devices…
Target just emailed me and said they had some in stock. GO GO GO!!
Yeah, they have, but price is upped to 449.99

plus u gotta pay tax
right
Kmart and Sears has it for $399 – $12 + tax
Can anyone tell me if there is any word of this thing ever hitting brick and mortar stores… at all? I find it interesting that it’s only being sold, almost exclusively, online. What is the deal with that?
Just got mine at the local Frys in Manhattan Beach, the guy said they were out but he would check the cage, guess what there was one in the cage that never got picked up!
Got mine today.UPS delivered it at 5:30pm.
