Google and Asus offering price protection to Nexus 7 owners who purchased before recent price drop.

If you purchased a Nexus 7 before Google announced its price drop, Asus has you covered. As TabletGuide first pointed out, the manufacturer is distributing €30 Asus store vouchers (₤25 for UK customers) for those who bought one before October 29th. Only customers who purchased directly from Asus or Google are eligible, however, and you must register your device with Asus and provide your proof of purchase. We confirmed with an Asus spokesperson that the offer is valid for all of Europe, but we've yet to hear about a similar program in the US. The application period ends on November 30th, and the voucher is valid through December 31st.

Update: Google is also currently offering price protection for those that purchased a 16GB Nexus 7. If you bought the tablet from Google on or after October 14th, the company will refund the $50 difference to your account.”

I've had a look in the Asus store, and there's not much for the Nexus 7 there other than a few cases and a power adapter, but you could spend your £25 on anything. It's a shame you don't get to spend it in the Play Store.

There are only a few of weeks to get your claim in and it's worth reading the comments in the Verge's story for possible issues in the process.

The Google offer doesn't apply to me as I got one on first day release. Somebody here might be lucky though.
