In my excitement I made two preorders (one with JB and one with Google) - now I'm undecided which to keep
option 1: JB - get it on release day (28 Oct) + free nest audio
Option 2: Get it on 3 Jan + $302.9 store credit ($150 + $152.9 from Google One Subscription)
What are peoples thoughts here? Is the $300 store credit worth the two month delay in getting the phone? Which option would you go with?
Strange I just tried to add to cart and I still get 3 Jan delivery. Tried on another device and and result 😔
IMO, I would just go for the JB option. Google store credit doesn't mean much to me personally and by Jan, it's possible the prices might have dropped 1-200 by then already. Then again, I'm desperate for a new phone as I'm currently using a Pixel 2.
What are peoples thoughts here?
Seriously? The logic tree is pretty simple:
Q1: Do you need the phone ASAP?
If yes, go to A1
If no, go to Q2
Q2: Is price important to you?
If yes, go to Q3
If no, go to A1
Q3: Would you prefer $-off or Google Store credit?
If $-off: Go to A2
If credit: Go to A3
END
A1: Complete JB preorder
A2: Complete Google preorder
A3: Buy from any other retailer in January and negotiate a good price on a 2+ month old handset
nothing wrong with gathering data on market consensus to understand the intrinsic value of each option. And based on the poll, a $300 value > 2 months use + nest audio.
One would not know this if they did not conduct market research.
Ended up going with the JB offer myself. Was late to pre-order and wanted to get it on launch.
Did have to go with the Sorta Sunny though… Not sure how I feel about that.
So you are feeling kinda cloudy about sorta sunny?
I'm looking for Sorta Sunny. Perfect. Hope they got heaps of them in stock.
They seem to have removed the waiting list on the Google website, you can now order every 6 Pro configuration and for me it said early December delivery estimate. For you I reckon its worth to order from Google directly, I'm sure you can deal with whatever phone ur using for a month or so.
