PRICE DROP! $299 and shipping on the 27th!
- Thread starter s0me guy
- Start date
I already ordered mine and was really happy with my decission, this just makes it even better with a lower price and an actual ship date, really impressed and happy with Nvidia so far. Keep it up!
same here. now i can spend the extra 50$ on tegra enhanced games or something on steam!
I am not sure why but Nvidia already took their money from my credit card. could this mean that they are going to ship early for us. I hope so cuz it turned out to be a large sum of money when taking into account the exchange rates and the tax from nvidia.com
Edit: nividia just replied to me support request and it was a credit hold of the money and that some banks don't show any difference between the hold and actual payment.

My American Express shows a pending charge to Digital River Pacific for $361.99. This is a hold, which can be placed months in advance of shipping, to confirm that the card has sufficient funds available at the time of processing the shipping. Best Buy does this with my preorders. It means that they are gearing up to ship, but the actual, and correct charge will happen when it ships.
I hope what your saying is true because it's the first time I pre order anything and it appeared on my back account as if they already took the money.
Thanks a lot man

Retail?
Does anyone know when this will be in retail? I want to know if it will be at Gamestop on the 27th or if that is the day they head to gamestop.

I don't think you will see it any retail store. Itll be a great device but I don't think there will be enough sales to put it on shelves.
It will be at Gamestop. It is confirmed. It is pre-orderable in stores. The release date just says June 30th as it has since it was pre-orderable...

website still says 30th. so i am guessing either 1: they will start selling it on the 30th. or 2: they just haven't updated the date yet.
although gamestop website shows jun 30 for release date it is actually june 27th as well. I ordered my shield from gamestop today and sales rep confirmed in their system that gamestop will be receiving units on jun 27th.
Yes. I am hoping mine gets to my store because none showed up in saturdays shipment and it did not appear that any were on the way for tuesdays. (I did not have it pre-ordered until yesterday so that could be my fault)
Preordered mine around the 15th and got a email stating that they won't charge my card til it ships and will charge the new price. Well on the 21st a charge was done to my card for the old price. Does this mean it is shipping and what about the new lower price?

The same thing happened with me and they said that it is just a credit hold to make sure that each card is good for it. However i think the price your talking about is with tax. I think nividia. Com took around 30$ tax which just hurt

It was the old price and tax for a total of $399.34 when the email said it was going to only charge $349.34. And it was not a hold it was a full charge out of my account.

My American Express card still shows the original price as a "Pending Charge," which indicates that the charge has not been confirmed for processing by Nvidia, and is, rather, a preliminary hold to confirm that the card is correct and that the available balance is sufficient.
It's possible that those of you who show a charge either are using debit cards or card companies that don't distinguish between pending charges and processed charges.
On a similar topic... does anyone know if Nvidia is going to ship our pre-orders early, so that they arrive on/about the 27th, or will they ship on the 27th and we will receive them sometime next week?

well bad news via gamestop today the manager showed me a email they received "shield has been delayed from the 27th to an unknown date ie they don't know when hell they will get it" that pretty much sums it up another guy over at nvidia forums posted the same thing , kinda ticks me off
I preordered mine directly from Nvidia and it shows credit card pending. I ordered next day evening so we will see when we get it.
Very excited about this product. I even went out and bought a brand new gaming PC with 3 monitors for fun.
Cannot wait to see Borderlands 2 streamed to it haha. Epic!
