Same lol. More evidence that the Goog is always listening.

Is it based on how many Pixel devices you bought in the past?
I've only ever bought the Pixel 5 and prior to that, the Galaxy Nexus.

I've had the N6P, P2XL, P3 (wife's), P3XL, 2xP5 (wife and mine), Pixel Buds 2, and a bunch of G-Home/Nest devices. Before all that I had the Samsung GS4 Google Play Edition.

well, it looks like they were passing out the surveys like candy...if all three of us got it.
i'm sure they have to sort through millions of "superfans"
i dont have fb, have any of you tried gaining access to the superfan group? or is that something you have to be invited to?

If it's just a Facebook page, I'm out. I go on Facebook once every five years.

I also got invited to view the live stream pixel event for tomorrow.
it's through a third-party platform called crowdpurr.
being the geek that I am, I tested out the code on the crowdpurr link that they sent.
I was assigned a random ass nickname and I was redirected to a homepage, or landing.
this "playground" is a trivia game..
but it wasn't live yet....perhaps tomorrow it'll go live and you can play in the "playground"
except my geeky ass saw another button that said, "want to choose a new nickname?"
I said, fuck yeah, take me to your leader.
now my code doesn't work and i am no longer allowed to enter the playground/view the live stream.
don't do what I did.
there are limited spots available. i fucked up.
but i feel i'm not missing anything as it's just a pixel reveal event. not like im going to get free chit

I also got invited to the event. It is supposed to be an event talking about the design choices of the new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
I will make sure not to do what you did for sure. Maybe it will work again today.

I got invited too, it filled up in an hour but was just a private stream of the public stream so didn't seem like a big deal. The facebook group is way less douchey than I thought, certainly better than the Tesla facebook groups I'm a member of lol.

It's weird I have the event RSVP but don't have access to the Facebook group yet.
Funny that the Tesla group is worse than the Pixel group.

Yup went from 500 Error for the whole site and now R013 at checkout.
Also, free Pixel Bud A if you pre-order a 6 Pro.

Is a 6 Pro really worth the price diff vs a regular 6?

$899 for the Pro is less than I expected tbh.
$250 on trade for the Pixel 5 is a joke though.

EDIT - They just raised it. Now trade is $405. That's more realistic.

Finally managed to get a white 256gb Pro. Be here in two weeks. Forgot to select expedited shipping which normally knocks 3-4 days off it if you don't get the very first shipping date window.

Just ordered a Regular 6 Seafoam for my GF..... a huge upgrade from her Oneplus 6T...

Was going to order P6 Pro last night but all they had was the black one so I thought I'd wait until morning to see if stock refreshed or whatever. Checked this morning and they're out of stock of everything in the unlocked bucket.
Did you guys get the free pixel buds too?

That was last night.. not sure about now..
Oh yah Tmobile has it too... if you have tmobile.
I ordered/canceled so many times on google because I didn't know about the free buds, by the time i canceld my original order that was schedueld for 10/28 and placed a new order with the buds, the delivery date was changed to Nov....
I aint having that.. so i canceld that and changed the color and it was delayed more
At the end i canceled all of them on google and bought it from Bestbuy That had the color, delivery date and ear buds i wanted.
MY CC company froze my card due to suspicious activities

Don't even know if I will keep or sell the buds since I already have the Pixel Buds 2.

My buds date got pushed back now showing Saturday - Tuesday but were supposed to be here Friday as well when I ordered. I will take that though since my phone ship date moved forward.
