FWIW, if you ever order this or anything from Google Play online, double check all your order info. I ordered one of these this afternoon without realizing that the "ship to" address on my Google Play account was out of date (the billing address was updated, and that's all I noticed when I scanned the invoice).

Once you put in the order you can forget about getting any useful support when you notice a mistake like this. All I've been able to get out of their support is the same automated email sent to me about 10 times in response to my various queries. They are simultaneously (on different pages) telling me it is too late to cancel the order and yet the order won't ship until the 24th...

For a company that basically lives and breathes the web, Google ought to be totally ashamed at how god awful their online order support is. I've dealt with dozens of mom and pop online shops that run circles around this bullshit.

In the future I'll be sure to just be patient and wait for Amazon or someone else I can trust to get online retail right to have the item in stock.
