Yep, in LA County here. Sales tax is ridiculous, so I'll probably buy from Amazon and pay 2nd day air (don't have Prime) to get it sooner.

Same here, plus I am the online coupon master. If the coupon/discount exists, I will find it (a skill one acquires from years of poverty)

If you can find coupons for Amazon you let me know...it's impossible.

You have to be looking for what they have on sale at the time and luck out.

I've been following this thread closely and would like to purchase from Amazon like others here, but don't have prime shipping. While looking around the Amazon site I found that I was offered a free trail month of prime when I clicked on an 'Amazon instant video that was prime eligible' movie. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I belive you have had to of been without Amazon prime for 9 months to be able to get a free trial.
Question, does it look like Amazon will be having the Transformer on their site this week? I'd REALLY like to get this free trail now to make the transaction go as smoothly and quickly as possible on the release day.. I might even be at work when its posted and would like to whip out my droid and buy it right there.

If there isn't a page on their website for it there is a high likelihood that the basic reps you speak to on the phone will have no way to track it down. That or they have been informed to say such until the 25/26th when we can order such. I wouldn't read too much into that. I know from experience when working retail you aren't allowed to say if you have a new product in before said product is released because companies sometimes will fire you for doing such. Friend of mine at AT&T got fired for selling a Bold 9700 early.

Sometimes you have to add for shipping. I never buy extended warrantees so having the option to retun it is just as good ESP since most problems are found out rather quickly in my cases.

I would buy from new egg but not returns with them.
