Well, they haven't fixed the Play Store. Page currently alternating between "SOLD OUT" and "Add to cart" with subsequent refreshes; clicking the latter just goes to https://play.google.com/store/cart?costatus=INVALID_REQUEST (with an error message).
* page saying "Server Error".
* clicking "Add to cart" brings up the cart page without an error, but saying "Your cart is empty".
Either it sold out in a record 2 minutes which means that they never had enough to begin with, or it hasn't become available yet.
Now, almost every time I hit refresh, it flips between the two. I'm giving up for now.
EDIT: The trick from this comment http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4838782 worked for me after about 5 minutes of clicking.
I got an "Add to Cart" button (with 4-5 weeks to ship notice) once. When I clicked it, I got a cart error. This sucks.
Now it's in cart, but I can't checkout "Due to high volume". This has got to be the most botched product release of all time.
Nexus 4 (16GB)

Unfortunately, you are probably going to be right! Anyone know which regions they are supposed to be available again? Sources?
i think this this was more of a fact than a prediction. It seems the nexus is sold out again.
Now I'm also getting it failing to add it to the cart to begin with, with the message "Oops, we had a problem with your request. Please try again.". At least this is better than two weeks ago where I would get very unprofessional-looking cookie errors. Edit: The icing on the cake (Add To Cart click): http://imgur.com/dHmOL
Google really needs to step up here. Forget missed sales opportunities; this is just reflecting very badly on them, period.
UPDATE:
Possibly the first real feedback from Google on all this: A message displayed at the top of the Play store reading "Google Play is currently experiencing very high traffic. Nexus 4 is not sold out and will still be available for purchase. Please try again shortly. Thank you for your patience." It was up for about five minutes and has since been removed. The Nexus 4 is now consistently in stock, but attempting to purchase it always results in "Due to high demand, your order could not be processed. Please try again later."

Cart Updated: The following items have been removed from your cart because they are currently unavailable. Nexus 4 (16GB) AMAZING!

Alternative failure modes observed: * page saying "Server Error". * clicking "Add to cart" brings up the cart page without an error, but saying "Your cart is empty".
The 8GB seems to be consistently in stock, advertising a 4-5 week shipping period. It is possible to add this one to your cart consistently.
EDIT: Now getting a generic Google server error page: "We're sorry, there was an error. Please try again later."
This is one of the worst shopping experiences I have ever had. I have seen it come in stock several times now, but when I add it to my cart and try to proceed to checkout, I get "Due to high demand, your order could not be processed. Please try again later." This happens every time until eventually I get the dreaded "Oops, we had trouble processing your request. We're working on fixing the issue. Please try again lat…
Try "Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet."
