Google Daydream on sale at Bestbuy - Google Pixel XL Accessories

Saw this a few days ago and figured it was too good a deal to pass up. I missed out on the free one as I picked up my Pixel XL on a different deal. Bestbuy has the Daydream VR for $49.99 with free 2 day shipping.

Or you can buy it from Google direct for the same price. VR from all vendors isn't taking off, hence price drops. Like 3D for TV. My 3D glasses are sitting unused in a drawer. That said, it's a fun thing to try for $50. Pictures taken with photosphere are amazing on daydream VR. Almost like being there again.

Anyone suggest, link what the daydream VR can be used on/for? Does it work as remote cast viewing a game on PC?

Everytime that I check Sears website shows g tablet for 379.00
I went there to see if on the checkout computer will show a diferent price but stil showing the same as 379.00
How did you buy at 349.00?
There was a two day sale at Sears where the price was $349.00. Price has since gone back up to $379.00

Haha, yes. I returned mine which I bought for $380 and got it at Sears for $350, best deal, except for the outlet price on some for $280...
Yeah...when sears had it for $350, I went ahead and purchased it online for $400, picked it up in store, went straight to customer service and they were able to verify $350 price and credited the $50 back to me.
Picked mine up at office depot today for 332.99. I was hoping for my corporate discount which showed as 359.99 online, but was pleasantly surprised when it rang up with part of the instant rebate also. This thing is well worth what i paid for it.

The sign on the Gtablet display said it was 399.99 with $30 instant rebate which gives you the advertised 369.99 price.
I really wanted to like the G Tablet...but after having played with it for over a week with both TnT and Vega Rom installed...i've come to the realization that the $400 i've paid for this tablet is not worth it (a 42" LCD TV is a better buy)...and will wait for next year's crop of tablet devices from Motorola and Blackberry
PROS:
Tegra processor
Great device after installing either Vega or TnT rom
Web pages renders super fast
Flash is a plus
Access to the many apps in the Market
Playing both Angry Birds + Guns & Glory on the device is super fun
CONS:
The display is HORRIBLE..didn't really bother me @ first...but the viewing angle really kills this tablet
Too heavy for 1 handed operation..compared to the iPad
Price is too high @ 380+tax (maybe is it was 299+tax..i would over look the display)...the iPad is a better deal at 499+tax
Out of the box is a pos...must flash TnT or Vega rom to make it usable
Will be taking mine back to Sears tonight......unless u are a hardcore Android fan (or a gadget fiend)...i don't see how u can keep this tablet...the viewing angle is the real deal killer on this tablet (weight comes in a close 2nd)

Yea, Im with webguy. I got my daughter an iPad and while the OS is very limited even jailbroken, the screen is a joy to use. Everything pops and no viewing angle problems whatsoever. It makes everything so much more enjoyable, movies, websurfing games etc. For an extra $100 get an iPad and jailbreak it.
If your stuck on Android like I am you gotta wait a few months for HTC, Samsung and Motorola. Unless something comes to pass with swapping screens pretty quickly mine is also going back to Sears ASAP.
The screen is painful to use. I can't stand that whatever I am looking at could shift colors to inverted with the slight turn of the wrist.

Where can I see a SW2 display model?

I'd like to see it in person before making the the purchase.
I don't know where you live, but every Sony store has a smartwatch at display in Turkey. They even let me try it on my wrist. So if you have any Sony store around you, that would be the best bet to find a display model.

I bought mine at my local Best Buy. They had three in stock, but for some reason had them locked in storage in their warehouse area and not on the store floor. Took the sales girl 15 minutes to find, then another ten minutes to find a key. They had Samsung Gears in the special Samsung section of the store, and Pebbles and Metas pushed into a display along a side wall, but the Sonys didn't even have a tag on a rack. Amazes how bad of a retailer best Buy has become. The only good things about Best Buy in my area: (1) the mall Best Buy Mobile has a guy working there that owns a Pebble and a Sony and was extremely helpful about showing his own watches and answering questions. (2) While I bought mine on Monday for $199, I was able to get the difference in price when Best Buy advertised it yesterday for $159 (sorry to say it now appears to be back up to $199).

Deals (price discounts) for Nexus Player

Just a thread to share leads to any deals/discounts on the Nexus Player. And personally, I prefer deals on the device brand new in the box, fully sealed and manufacturer warranty covered. (Used and such can always be found at a discount.)
For the moment, the best deal I know of. Is Amazon and BestBuy.com's $69.99 deal. For the band new in the box sealed, with full manufacturer warranty Nexus Player.
With the Apple TV at that same price, I figure the deal will stand for some time.
But I hope more deals for the Nexus Player come and we can share them all here .
After using the nexus player for the last month, I'm seriously considering replacing our aging Rokus with NP's - especially at this price point. The only thing that we would be missing is Amazon Prime, which we use very rarely. But we'd be picking up a better interface and we could also run Kodi on the same box. Wasn't there a deal not too long ago where they were selling for $70 plus a $20 google credit?

Instead of "replacing" the Rokus. Why not keep both? I've got several Rokus myself. I'm supplementing things with Nexus Players. The Roku is nice, but it can't touch the games on Nexus Player. Plus, Nexus Player seems to have a better future. I don't know if channels such as Haystack TV could ever be setup for Roku.
And on the other hand, Roku has many channels that Nexus Player does not yet have. As you mentioned, Amazon Prime, which I doubt Amazon will ever make work on Nexus Player. Since Amazon never supported Chromecast at all.
I like One America News Network, which is on Roku. They're looking to expand to Nexus Player though. But still, there's no expense involved in keeping the Rokus. So the best of both worlds can be enjoyed.
You can get the Nexus Player for $50, by paying for 3 months of Sling TV service up front ($49.50).
The Amazon.com price has dropped, to $66.34.
Walmart $67, bought today

Amazon.com price has crept up to $67.11.
Amazon now has it for $64.78 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00S8U5A7W/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
Maybe they will go as low as Chromecast prices[emoji1] . Hey, a man can dream... And it could happen by some means.

October 2nd Confirmed. $299/$349

A good relief given the silence from Samsung, and conflicting pre-order dates, but it will be here this Friday
http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/30/9422727/samsung-gear-s2-smartwatch-pricing-availability
Stores: Samsung.com, Amazon.com, Best Buy, and select Macys stores.
Does anyone know at what time do online sales start?
I'm wondering the same thing. Checked the 3 sites listed above and nothing. Hopefully the 3g version go on sale today.

For all we know Samsung probably demanded them not to sale any til the morning, so they can make a big buzz if they sale out in a few hours.

Bestbuy.com is showing them already, but only the $299 non-classic is available for shipping. The Classic is only available in-store. Also at $50 more, Samsung.com is showing them for order as well, but says shipping 3-4 weeks.
I just ordered mine, $299 model for pick up today. Sweet!
Sent from one of my many devices.
i also pre-order a black sport from BestBuy, but I really wanted a Classic.
I did the same thing hoping this ensures I at least get the Sport today. The Classic can't be ordered yet on bestbuy.com.

Picked up my black S2 at Best Buy this morning. Could have ordered from Amazon and received in a few days or waited three to four weeks on the Samsung site. My Best Buy only had the black S2 and that's all that was available on Amazon. I think my Best Buy only had three of them.
Picked up the Dark Gray (black) watch at Best Buy. They had 5 come in, all the same model. Anyone have luck getting the Classic model?
No luck getting the Classic, I've checked everywhere, even Samsung.com lists it as backordered 3-4 weeks. I really wanted the Classic, but the Sport is very nice.
I'm extremely impressed with the comfort and size of the Sport, it's the same thickness as my Huawei Watch, but it doesn't actually feel that way. The Sport is more rounded and my dress shirts easily fit over it, which is not the case with the Hauwei Watch.
I'm also becoming a fan of Tizen watch OS, I really like the interactiveness of the watch faces and widgets. The rotating bezel is cool and makes sense with this interface, but reviewers need to stop saying "it keeps your fingerprints off of the glass" because you still need to touch the screen to open and use all of the apps. I would have actually preferred Samsung made one of the buttons on the side an input button so you could select apps and then maybe use the same button for double click to home or something like that. The combination of the rotating bezel and a hardware input button would definitely have reduced the amount of times you need to touch the glass.

I totally agree and wonder if that is possible with a firmware upgrade sometime in the future?

Google Pixel 3 XL UK Order

Who else ordered the phone and what are the delivery dates?
I ordered the 128GB, White, delivery showing as 02-05 November.
Ordered from Google Store
I have the note 9 512gb now, and I am passing on the Pixel 3 XL.
Delivery will be 1st November according to carphonewarehouse, and aside from the notch, the RAM and Storage aren't enough for the price, Pixels struggle with closing apps in the background, and to add to that, I actually think they battery capacities and the phone designs are just deal breakers for me. Added to the fact it has no headphone jack.
I would fill the phone in 6 months and that's unacceptable for £969. EDIT: with the added emphases on the motion shot and the no blinking thing, would probably only take 3 or 4 months to full 128gb.
Google will delete all your full resolution photos when the Pixel 2 years unlimited storage runs out as well so that's not a long term option.
As for trying the Pixel 3 normal, the price jump over the Pixel 2 is too much. IT's even worse value.
I am pretty sad google made such a hash of the Pixel 3 and 3 XL.

Wow
Pixels struggle to close apps in the background - not on mine
Delivery 1st November - that's uk launch
Headphone jack - usb c converter included
If you can fill 128 gig of storage then you should probably look at some other type of storage
I believe the high rez photos are for life, they wont delete, you just won't be able to add to them after that.
I just got quoted a VERY similar contract price for a new 3XL from EE for what I'm currently paying for my Pixel XL
looks like US will be getting them few weeks earlier than us
Vodafone currently only have prices for 64 storage option.
Been out of contract with them paying £12.50 a month sim only and deal wasn't great the offered me. Will be transferring to EE. Went for the 60GB Max option.
Breakdown cost came out at £30 up front for the device and £54.40 a month 24 month.
Despite my opinions on the gigantor notch I could not resist the temptation of stock android even though I am coming from a OnePlus 6, ordered the Pixel 3 XL 64gb Black from John Lewis.
What swung me was the fact you can hide the notch which makes it look like a Pixel 2 XL which ain't a bad thing and the Pixel 3 was just a bit too small for my liking.
EE - 64gb white 8gb data and free BT sports pre-ordered
currently on pixel OG XL 128GB and doubtful if I've EVER been over 30gig on the storage front
my average data has been about 5.5G/month so no need to have much more (wifi at work and at home)
Hey lads, i'll be gettin the xl when it's out too, waitin to see if get any freebies later, so far pre-order doesn't make sense, 3 weeks wait and we gettin nothin on top,

Well true.. the temptation is unbelievable haha, will wait till 2nd of Nov and just walk into the store and get it, maybe after OP and Huawei some freebies shows up
How are people managing to fill these phones up?
I've not filled my 32Gb Pixel XL up once thanks to Google photos.
I've ordered a 64Gb 3 XL in black - expected 1st November from Three.
Unlimited data is £54/month (not for everyone I know). Haggle with them, I got the £99 upfront wiped off
im paying a small fortune for mine on ee but itll be worth it im runnin on 1gb of space free roughly most weeks on my gen 1 xl
got my hands on the xl 3 in the metro centre ee store last night (demo only) boy she is nice !
Pulled the trigger and ordered a white 64GB from Google
Temptation is too great this time of year, as it's been every year
Coming from a 2 XL, very much looking forward to an improved screen

I think you are realistically looking around starting at £100 on eBay
There are a few that are on £140 with no bids and not much time left
Sucks tho as the pixel 1 is still a great phone
