[Q] Anyone order their XPlay From Expansys?

For $275, it seems too good to pass up. Has anyone received one from them? Are they new in the box, and do they come with any accessories, like how the AT&T version comes with a dock?

Don't bother...I ordered at £191...waited. waited...nothing. As far as I am aware they still haven't shipped. £154 at chitterchatter.co.uk and it arrived earlier than promised with extras and a 16gb card..bargain.

... I got my Xperia play from Argos at £179.99 also with a 16gb memory card. £179.99 is about $280.

Bought mine from Expansys a few months ago, before the massive price drop.
Came within a few days, all boxed with 16gb microsd and all the extra stuff.
Kinda wish I'd have waited since they're now half what I paid, but I wasn't to know

ordered mine from expansys for 230 euro around end of september, and they reported shipping would start at 4th october.
After a bunch of updates it's now officially (praying god) delayed to 15th october.
I'm seriously concerned that i'm gonna receive this phone the next price drop lol

I'm also w8ing now orderet it last week.. just recievd mail from them:
We receive information from our purchaser that they will be some delay for Xperia Play as there is huge demand since the price drop but not sufficient amount of stock made from SE so for the moment we do not know specific ETA for this product.

this is starting to get irritating.
Now on the website i read "shipping november 1"...
1 of november? are they effin joking? It's almost one ENTIRE month of delay from the initial shipping date of 4 of october...
I'm losing my patience. Is there anywhere else i can buy this phone at that price? I'd be more than happy to cancel my order from those idiots

I spoke to the managing director, they are getting lots of stock in on the 18th which goes live on the 22nd. £155 delivered with £5 credit and a 16GB card as well as some nice extras.

thanks man but i don't know if i can get this, i'm from italy, is it sim-free? I mean, i can read that it comes with a simcard with 5 free bucks in it, but i wonder if i can throw that in the toilet and use my italian simcard..
If that's possibile, then i'll be more than happy to send expansys to hell

[Q] £250 vouchers?

Anyone that was at the 'global' launch received their £250 worth of vouchers from Samsung yet?
I'm not sure if I was in the top 100 people but I was queueing up at about 07:50 and I put my name and email on a list so I'm just wondering if anyone has received them yet?

If you came at 7:50 then I was probably a few places in front of you in the line, but no I haven't got any emails about it either.

I was the guy looking thoroughly cheesed off about the fact the there was only one shop in the country that was supplying them on launch day. I noticed the media team with the camera steered well clear of me instead asking questions to 'the only girl in the queue'

I remember when I bought Sammy gtab 10.1 on the release day in London something was as well. Sammy offered cover and keyboard to first 100 ppl, it took about a month. I'm guessing that it's due to 27days return policy. they didn't want to give free stuff and people would return gtab and sell the freebies...

Yeah i'm due one too and the cashback offer but not been contacted yet. They did say 7 days to me to be fair.

Yeah, that's what they said to me and seven days would probably mean business days so we're looking to the start of next week
I was just wondering if they were being proactive and sending them out when they said they would rather than leaving it for weeks and weeks

I was close to the front and nothing. I expect it will take around three weeks.

I was 3rd in the Queue but still nothing, i remember one of the Sammy Reps saying it would take "A Few Weeks"

Also I seem to remember that they said the voucher will be redeemed with Samsung's own Android store, not the market. Since I don't think Samsung has put up an ICS version of their store app yet it will probably be a while till we get it.

So do we know what exactly we get? I got some vague description of apps and films and stuff. Was more interested in the cashback offer at the time tbh

I was told by 2 of the Phones4U sales team that we would get £250 vouchers for Android content and £100 extra vouchers from phones4U.
I have contacted Phones4U twice now (as they didn't get back to me the first time) they said it would be coming from Samsung and they would email us a code after 20 days.
The cameras were for Google internal. Nothing special.

I was in the queue early morning behind a guy who already had one! I got in, given and handset and then got denied a contract on Orange!
At least I got the T-Shirt
I came back at about 6 and there were still 2 name slots on the list, managed to get my upgrade with Vodafone so that was one less hassle!
So I got the 250 vouchers and the 100 return (still waiting for these), Phones4U didn't want to write this offer on my contract though...
Also got a mug too!
Not really sure how to spend 250 on apps and videos?!?

I got £200 vouchers from Samsung when I registered my Galaxy Tab and it broke down like this:
15 new release films from Samsung Movies (or more if I chose cheaper ones), movies are £12
5 Gameloft games
50 mp3's from emusic
£25 WHSmith ebook voucher

They told me it was for the Android market. But I might have get them wrong, it was very hectic.

the p4u guy also told the vouchers/credits were coming from Samsung in the next 7 days but didn't give me anyway of proving that i would be getting it. Basically i was supposed to have faith that Samsung was going to miraculously know to contact me.

I didnt get a mug! Just Tshirt and stickers.
Was really hoping it would be for the android market. I was wondering if they could be used to buy comics through the marvel app, or when the music store comes out.

Yeah I used a browser shop.samsung.com took a few tries for payment but I got it

Mobile browser
Note10+

I submitted mine 8/22/19, it was sent the code 8/26/19.
I already won a $129 earbuds for free so I think I will wait for the Watch Active 2 pre-order. I thought they said you get the wireless charging pad with pre-order. The 44mm for $299 looks Bad A$$.

Took a while but I opted for the active. I doubt they'll add the active 2 on the available kits or individual options.

You can use this credit for anything on samsung.com, so if you want to get the active 2 I would cancel your order and wait until it comes out. However it will be much more expensive, about $300.
I was going to wait and use my credit for the active2, mainly for the stress/ s-health monitoring functions since the sensor was removed on the new note, but I got a galaxy fit for almost nothing with my samsung rewards points from samsung pay instead. (I already have an Apple watch S4 and Gear S3 frontier lol)

Yea ivthought about waiting for it but dont wanna pay extra money for it. I have a gear s3 that's all beat up but works but like the screen res on the active. Basically got for under $20 bucks with gift cards and the sammy promo.
Now I'll have an extra one when the other dies.

Did you all order through carriers? Cause I ordered direct from Samsung.com and won't get my credit until 15 days after delivery of my Note 10+ (which was delivered on Aug 21st.

Yes thru carrier.
What I did soon as I got my phone(8/21) went into shop app and registered for credit. Email said allow 6-8 weeks. Turn around was actually less than a week since I got credit email yesterday afternoon.

Dont know why you thought 6-8weeks lol...
Samsung always says that but normally delivers within a week or two.
Same happen with all my promos.
Watch, vr, charger etc...
And got mines yesterday used it for the ear buds and battery.
Was going to use it for the active 2 watch. But with its shipping date being sept 27. I might as well get the free buds then pay full price for the watch later

Sucks u can't get 256 sd card with this.

I pre-ordered through Best Buy [Verizon] (that experience was terrible, btw). I registered and submitted on Sunday and got approved yesterday. Delivery should not take more than a day to process since they should only need to review your proof of purchase. It's just digital credit from Samsung.

Pre-order includes Samsung Buds+?

There have been some discussions during the last week of Jan regarding a bundle of S20 + buds+ for free if you Pre-order.
I'm on Tmobile US and did not see any mentioning of that, nothing was mentioned also during the announcement.
Does anyone have any details on that?
Thanks.

It does and it doesn't! Pre-order on Samsung.com and you get a $200 samsung shop credit, which you can use for the buds+.

I'm on the tmobile Jump program so I was planning to upgrade through them.
Last year I did the same for my S10+. They ran similar promotion and I got my Buds..
Just hoping that tmobile will do the same though no info from there on that.

amazon rulz
hi everyone,
pre-ordered my S20 Ultra Silver Grey on Amazon and l got the confirnation that after i will receive them, i will also get the Buds+ from Samsung. super!

Pre-ordered a S20 Ultra 5G yesterday on Italian Samsung website and, yes, there is the free buds+ promotion. Yeah!!!!

For the S10 you bought the phone then submitted a receipt to Samsung. They give you a credit for the price of the buds, but you could spend it on other things if you wanted.

I think there was a form I had to fill up with Samsung... But whatever that is, I hope I will eventually get the Buds+ for free if I get my phone through Tmobile.

I get the buds plus for free as well , just as well with the 1500 spent on the 512gb version , only a pain not getting mine until march 12 ( holland) and not on the 6th like everyone else.went for the grey version as i have not yet had a grey phone before. The option for the free buds was in the ordering options on samsungs website.

pre ordered from UK Vodafone not sure how you submit proof of purchase for the buds+ offer when you buy through their call centre?
anyone have experience in this with previous deals with UK Vodafone?

So in the US, we get a $200 credit, no free buds. I was hoping for the free bauds, and the credit. Oh well.

Doesn't the freebie depend on if you buy from the carrier or from samsung? I know it has differed in the past. Hoping for the credit though so I can get the buds and a case

In the us, only the $200 credit is available.

It comes with a $200 credit, and have the option to spend or use it during the pre order. I used it to buy the Galaxy Watch 2, added $49 only.

It depends on the region. US and Korea get a credit and for example Europe gets the Buds+.

T-Mobile just reminded me you get the credit when you sign in and register with your new phone on Shop Samsung. It'll be the $200 credit.

Just preordered the Ultra. Used $200 credit for the free AKG Noise Canceling cans instead (I already have way too many true wireless earbuds, but didn't have any NC anything, so that made up my mind).

You have to go on the Samsung shop app once you get your phone if you ordered outside of Samsung.com or Samsung shop and enter your imei and upload your receipt from your carrier. Then you will get $200 in like 2-6 weeks. I actually got $235 because I registered when they first sent emails out about pre-orders.

I got an email this morning saying pre orders were ready. When I clicked the link within the email, I followed through with the order and was able to get the $235 instant credit since the email was tied to my reservation. Was able to order myself the new Galaxy Buds+, the 45 watt fast wall charger, and black silicon case. Not a bad deal at all especially with me getting $600 off for my S10+. Said delivery by March 4th, less then 2 weeks away ???

just select the phone and then :-
1.) maximise the upfront cost (think £760 is max)
2.) drop the contract period down to the minium 3 months (from36)
3.) finally drop the amount of data each month to the mimium ( it starst off at 10g )
some people say you can cancel the contract straight after it starts so only end up paying 799 but im unsure if thats accepted within the contract or just a lack of checks that allow it.
Im happy to pay the mimium as its only 3 months

So the pre order deal for the headphones is now gone, due to them being out of stock. How are these out of stock already. Sony have really handled this situation so bad, in the uk only their direct website or o2 currently doing pre orders aswell. So by time carphone warehouse and vodafone have their pre orders all that is available is a free case not even another pair of cheaper noise cancelling headphones.
