Hi to all, i recently bought the xperia play, when i access the market from the phone i cant finde the psone games like destruction derby etc.
wheh i try to buy them from the web version of android market it say that my carrier is not compatible with the apps
maybe because in italy the play is not yet in store
there is a way to get them aniway?
thaks
try making a google account from a working country, to avoid that, i made my account in the US, to avoid restrictions on my country (Argentina)
I dont know when the play is going to be released in Italy, if its soon, then you can wait and avoid the hassle...

I found a website that had links to download the new psn store app and ps pocket for 2.3.4 which i installed couple days ago the north America r800a on my at&t r800at phone. On the website it showed screenshots of the psn network store open on the phone and showed a bunch of ps1 games to purchased and download but at the bottom of each game it said sony entertainment of europe.
Well when i went to log in the psn network store on the phone it ask me 3 qustions at first country, language, and birthday.
Well i put in usa, english, and my birthday and i sign in to my account which i had for long time when i had my ps3 years ago.
Well there is no ps 1 games like i saw in the screenshots on the website, i see is blank, Im assuming maybe cause europe region gets all these games not the usa that i logged in.
Anyone know how i can fix this issue? thanks
Can u please pm me the website
+
Country must be England or Japan to appear the games, So put England or Japan in country slot

I really want to buy the nexus 7 and actually don't want to wait until the release in belgium (october).
But I'm wondering if the play store will work properly etc...
Would it be a good idea to buy it already in the UK, or better to wait on release in belgium?
Plus can you use your bought apps (for phone) also on your tablet, while they are also installed on the phone.
Depends how badly you want it If you end up not liking it I'm sure finding a buyer in Belgium shouldn't be an issue with a release date of october :laugh:
As its WiFi only there should be no problem. You will easily be able to set the language as Belgian and if Belgian apps don't show up you can download something like market enabler and select Belgium.
Using phones apps will work fine with the tablet and you can use them on all your devices

I use my UK-bought Android phone and tablet in Belgium loads as I'm working here at the moment. No problems using either, though the option to buy books and films disappears from the Play Store and doesn't reappear until I'm back in the UK. Your apps are assigned to your Google account, so if you use the same account on both devices you can install all your apps to both at the same time.
Bear in mind that my Google account is UK-registered; no idea if that would make a difference.
I'm more worried about the warranty. I've never bought an electronic device online from another country.
What if there is something wrong with my Nexus, let's say the screen has enormous light bleed. Would I be able to send it back? And if so, where to? To the UK shop I bought it at? Or to Google? Or Asus?
Could anyone enlighten me here? If I'm sure there won't be a problem if I get a defunct device, I will certainly order one in the coming weeks.

Doesn't matter if you're from Belgium, you will be covered by standard UK warranty but would have to return the item at your own cost if it was faulty and you were located outside the UK. Many shops in the UK don't collect returns free anyway.
If you buy from a UK reseller, you would need to return to UK shop where you bought it based on their returns policy - they vary.
If you buy from Google Play store you'd need to use a UK-registered Google Account in which case device returns are handled through Google Wallet.
Hi everybody
As we know, the new Nexus 4 will be available on Play Store only in: U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada.
It also seems almost sure that in all the other countries It will cost much more, for example while in France It will cost 350€ (on Play Store), in Italy It will probably cost 549€!
I'm from Italy, and obviously I don't wanna pay 549€ if I could spend less!
So, how could we get it from abroad?
The main issue is that Play Store only ships in the state where they sell the phone, so I can't directly go on Play Store UK and buy it.
To solve this problem I thought to use a service like forward2me which gives you an UK address to be able to buy the phone, and then they ship the phone to you. The cost is about 32€ for Italy, and 382€ is still a great price for me
There's also USABox, which does the same, but from U.S.
Another problem is that you can't even visit another Play Store if you're not in that state, to solve this we could use Ultrasurf, which is a free proxy-based tool that allow us to vist other Play Store(s).
The last problem is: some people told me that they only accept credit cards that come from that country, so If I would buy It from UK, I'd need a UK credit card. Is this true? And If yes, do you know any possible way to bypass this problem?
Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
i want this phone so bad, damn google play store
Maybe try to access in Play Store France with Proxy or VPN. (I don't know really). Search on Google
But, i think Order will be available in others countries later.
You didn't even read my thread, did you?
Yes, you can access differnet country's play store thru VPN. Not sure how to buy though.

Same mistake for me too.
Can you use Google wallet? From my previous experience, even you have a UK card, the diffrent address from the billing address will be a problem(Not play store though, some other B2C site).
Order from here

...Again?
In order to buy from the UK Play Store you need an UK credit card. Just the shipping address isn't enough. And this is not bypassable, sorry.
I'm Italian too, I hate this damned country! We can't buy from Playstore through proxy because it need you have a credit card in the country you are buying..
1) A supported country credit card is needed
2) a Proxy is not a good idea, as sensitive data is transmitted through it for someone to see
3) The actual product may be delivered to the proxies address

334GBP is a lot, better than 550Euros, but it's always 420 euro (+ delivery).

Everyone is saying that u need a credit card to buy from play store, how come u can't use a debit card??
Sent from my GT540 using xda app-developers app
Seems a lot of people are missing the OP's point. He is saying that you need an UK issued credit or debit card.
And to solve this problem for the OP, here in the UK we have what is called a "pre-pay credit card". If you can get someone to get you one in the UK (they sell them at post offices etc) then you should be able to complete the purchase on Google Play UK. But then again if can manage to find someone you are willing to trust £279 you might as well ask them to buy it for you and send it to you in Italy.

I am also in the same situation like you. I live in The Netherlands and no chance to buy it from Google Store.
I am also curious if you can pay it with a credit card from another country. I know some people in Germany where the phone could be delivered and I could pick it up but the main question is about the payment method.
Do you trust services like forward2me? They are reliable? I never heard of them.
I hope somebody could give us more informations and we could get our devices as soon as possible. I can't wait to have it!
My plan:
Use a proxy from the states and hoping that Citibank Credit card, even issued in y country is not a problem, (I can use it to buy from PlayStore when I am connected through a VPN).
Backup Plan:
Shipito offers "Assisted Purchase". I let them buy for me, even it's 17 USD more, and then ship to here.
Plan C:
Order it from Amazon when available
Plan D:
Wait until it available in my country (that's the final plan)
I bought apps from Play Store in The Netherlands using a foreign credit card and it worked without problems. I didn't had to use any proxy or VPN. I am still not sure if it will work with devices. It's really frustrating that Google doesn't extend their play store services.

OT - Warranty
Hey, I know this might be OT
But thought to post it anyway since I saw a discussion about it here somewhere before.
The warranty issue according to EU:

I think you need to BUY it from amazon or whatever. I don't think It's possible buying it from another countrys Play Store since you probably need a U.S or U.K creditcard depending on where you want to buy it from. My advice is to wait til the price drops or just buy it from another country (not via Play Store). this seems very easily thought of but yeah I think this is the only solution. I myself am currently waiting for the Netherlands release, my predictions are that the phone will be sold unlocked for 350eu if not more. If you really want to buy it from Play Store than I don't really know what you'll have to do but good luck.
I everybody I have a Sony Ericson Xperia X10 and I am tired of it because it is to laggy. So I was tinkig about buying a new phone, and when I saw the new Nexus 4 I new that it was the e best phone for me.
The problem is that I am Portuguese, so I live in Portugal xD, and I cant buy things from the Play Store. Do you guys know any other way to buy it for the same price as in the Play Store? Like eBay or Amazon. Some place thet ships things to Portugal.
Thanks for you attention.

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear about that. D:
Right now the only cheapsies way to get it is wait for the Play Store, ebay is ridiculous overpriced. Do you know anyone in a region that can buy it for you? Whenever they get them back in stock, rumors point to possibly as early as tomorrow, but Google claims in the next couple of weeks on their google plus page.
Ebay is out of the question, they're way higher than the Play Store.
My advice is ask someone you know to buy one for you in a region that sells them, and you would likely have to pay them a bit extra to ship it to you. :\ Sorry that's all I got.

This is your best bet. However, since the phone is sold out in the playstore everywhere, it will take a while for even this option to become viable.
Thanks for all the replys. I have an uncle in the UK, I wll ask him about buying and stuff.
Thanks again.:good:

Hi J. Diogo,
You could try contacting a company in your country which does this kind of stuff. They give you an address from United States or any country which they ship from, so you can buy without having to travel. After Google ships to the given address and the company has received it, they ship it to brazil, then you pick it up. You may pay for weight and combustible, i'm not sure, you'll need to find it out with this company.
You'll probably need:
- A payment method accepted by Google.
- A VPN to change your IP to the country of the given address. — You'll need to check if it is legal or illegal in your country.
- The shipping address given by this company.
I can't seem to find an answer for this in Google. Was wondering if anyone could help me figure it out.
My mother wants to buy a Nexus 10. She lives in Luxembourg, but spends about 2 months every year visiting us in the US. (She is here now, preparing to buy tablet). She wants to access the US Play Store, both here and at home in Lux. Is this possible? What would we need to do it set it up that way? Is using a US credit card enough or are we going to need some kind of Market Enabler app? VPN/Proxy?
Thanks!

You would be able to access the playstore from most countries. The country would remain the one to which your google account is linked and I guess so will the currency.
For example, google movies weren't available where I live around till a month ago. They wouldn't show up on my play store earlier. However, they would show up on my sister's playstore when she visited from London. In simple terms, she was accessing Playstore UK from New Delhi, India.
In answer to the question about the US playstore regarding your mum's tab, I guess you will have to buy a tablet preferably with a US credit card (though this might be overlooked) and definately register it to a US based gmail account. Be sure to register a credit card on the playstore and google account which works in the US.

I'm afraid the above answer may be wrong; it certainly is for Google Play Books. I live in the US, have an Android tablet (Asus TF101 running a Jellybean ROM, tested and working fine with Google Play and with numerous purchases in the US), and it was activated and regularly used for well over a year in the US. My Google account to which it is linked has been used regularly in the US for quite a few years. And to top it all off, the account is linked to a credit card issued in the US, by a US credit union.
Despite all of the above, when I went to purchase a book while travelling overseas on a two week vacation recently, the purchase was denied on the grounds that I was not in the US. It may work briefly, I don't know; I'd been overseas for maybe 9-10 days when I tried the purchase.
However, it was utter childs' play to circumvent this. All I had to do was buy VPN access (it so happens I already had it), go in through the VPN to get a US IP address, and hey presto... The Play store let me make the very same book purchase it had just refused me.
So yes, a VPN is the answer. I used WiTopia, which is US$50 annually or US$6 per month.

This thread might make clearer which credit card to use. You can read the credit card related part.
As for the reply by the person above me, as he has tried purchasing from google playstore while travelling he might have a better idea about that, though I am sure US playstore, movies, music, books etc would be available to you abroad as UK playstore is for my sister. As per what he says, buying from them might be a problem.

Oh, yes. They're available abroad, they just don't let you buy (at least some) products.

When I travel led to Canada it showed me the Canadian play store and I could not access the US play store.
