Who's going to run out & grab their Nexus 10 tonight from Walmart?

I got errors a couple times just trying to add to the cart that I didn't even stop to see if there were options. Even if there was, the receipt says it won't even ship for 3-5 days. The default shipping was 2-day.

They are getting slammed. Sigh... as more than a few people have pointed out, its kind of silly how hard it is to give away your money. :p

It's good to know that people never really grow up......reading this thread is worse than listening to my 8 yr old talk about how many days it is until Christmas but I chuckle when I realize that these are ADULTS talking about this stuff.

I'm sure the N10 is great and all, but I like how people get so obsessed about things that they literally are worried about the HOURS that it might take till it gets into their hands, and whether they should take the day off work in order to drive around to every WalMart within 100 miles hoping to snag one.

From the reviews I read it seems this is a good tablet, maybe not a great tablet, at a good price but again not a great price like the N7 is vs it's competition.

If this thing was priced at $299 for 16gb and $349 for 32, I'd share your excitement (although I still need to work so I can't join you out on the road driving past every WalMart :)


Also people act SURPRISED that the WalMart employee isn't fully up to speed on all the ins and outs of the Nexus 10.......REALLY, WHY DOES THIS SURPRISE YOU?

Finally got ahold of the walmart electronics folks. They have ZERO Nexus 10s. Screw it. I ordered from Google. 16gb N10 is enroute.

Yeah, seems like the whole "Wall Mart will have them" was incorrect. I missed getting the 32gb this morning before it sold out with all the web site problems. Guess I'll just have to hope some stores get one. :(

Yeah same here. I finally broke down and ordered from Google. I wanted to be sure I had a new toy to play with when I'm off work for 4 days for the Thanksgiving holiday. I hope I don't regret ordering from Google. The last time I got Scroogled. At least the shipping was only $14.

Is there any info out there that states whether or not Walmart or Staples or some other brick and motar will be stocking the pads?


I believe everyone thinks Walmart will have them because of the picture of store shelf that had the name and price on it. I haven't seen any other info. The last Walmart my wife went to actually said... even if we got them today they would probably remain in the back for at least a week! We don't stock shelves that fast.

I went into Staples on my way home and found a guy that actually knew what I was talking about when I said Nexus 10. He seemed to think they were suppose to get them but said their truck doesn't show up until Saturday. He was waiting for one as well.

I'm personally waiting on the 32GB no matter how long it takes. I skipped the Nexus 7 because I had a feeling they would make something bigger.

It was Google who first said Walmart would have the Nexus 7 32gb.


  • Nexus 10: 16GB for $399; 32GB for $499; available on 11/13 in the Google Play Store in the U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan. You'll also be able to purchase the 32GB version in more than 2,000 Walmart stores in the U.S. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/


I think I'll be happy with the 16gb.

Definitely supposed to be Walmart…from their official Twitter:

<< @matthileo Hi Matt - the Nexus 10 tablet is set to be sold in stores and online starting November 13th. -heidi>>

But then, after he pointed out that many employees didn't know anything about the Nexus 10, they responded:

<< @matthileo Hi Matt - We're sorry for the confusion. We have not yet announced which stores/areas will be carrying the tablet. -Calum>>

And then today:

<<@munkyhed Hi, we appreciate your interest. Currently we do not have availability information on the Nexus 10 for our stores. -Iris>>


This whole launch has been sloppy... I just wish they would tell us something, even if it's that it'll take a couple weeks to get it in stores

Right and I would of ordered it this morning with my phone
