GameStop to sell the Nexus 7 tablet, pre-orders already live

GameStop has been selling a bit of a selection of Android tablets for a little while now and it appears that they are planning to add one more tablet to that list. The Nexus 7 tablet (16GB model) will be added to their catalog of Android tablets available for purchase and GameStop has already begun taking pre-orders.

If you already have an Android tablet you can bring it in to trade up to the Nexus 7 as well. GameStop will give you an extra 30% in store value for your trade-in when you bring your old tablet into the store and buy a Nexus 7 tablet. Trade-ins also go a bit further now as GameStop is “offering instant cash or in-store credit for Android tablets from a variety of top brands. Trade values, ranging up to $250 in-store credit or $200 cash, are based on model, memory size and physical condition”. It appears that they will only be stocking the 16GB model and not the 8GB.

Pre-orders for the Nexus 7 tablet begins today so if you don’t want to buy on off of the Google Play store you can just head on down to your nearest GameStop instead. Check out the press release below for additional details as well as the official GameStop page for the Nexus 7 tablet. There should be plenty more mobile deals popping up as things heat up with the whole gaming mobile hardware industry.
