Just confirmed with a personal friend of mine that is a manager of a gamestop. They currently have their stock of Nexus 7s in stock and ready to be sold but are waiting on Asus to give a street date for them. :good:
Good luck with that. Asus and Google won't want to upset those that ordered at the announcement online, when they could have walked to the end of the road and picked one up instore quicker.
Expect store units to be delayed until after the initial shipments of online ordered have been dispatched to prevent a PR nightmare.
My gamestop called me saying my preorder will be ready for pickup tomorrow at store opening

I pre-ordered on July 4th (thru the Play Store) just after the Nexus 7 was announced. It grieves me to know that I would have been better off waiting two days and ordered thru GameStop after it was announced that they would be selling the Nexus 7 Tablet, because waiting two more days to place the order would have gotten the tablet in my hands faster. (This is going to make for some really bad PR for Google...)

So half the GameStops are saying come and pick up and half are saying we were told we have to hold them so I guess you just have to be lucky
I know I'll be going to pick mine up, I was their first pre order. When I called today they told me mine would be available tomorrow and I could pick it up at 10 when they open since they have actual stock. The was no mention of dates, since apparently gamestop wants credit for first release, his words not mine. Originally yes I was told the 31st as well, which was subject to change.
