like google gave you on the n7?
Unfortunately no. I was hoping they would do that again, but it appears that was just with the Nexus 7.
No credit is given, but you do get the first Ice Age movie from Google Play Movies.

The $25 Credit that came with the Nexus 7 was intended to help promote Google Play and get you started using the service.

Maybe it was only in certain countries (I'm in the US.). I can imagine these types of deals with the movie industry are quite complicated.
I opened the built-in Movies app. It showed up on the top under My Movies.

I'm in the UK and the Ice Age movie is listed under "my movies" could be a regional rights thing as to whether or not you get access to it.
Pity about the $25, I think that's finished for the N7 as well as the N10 now.

Yeah, the Play Store credit was only on the Nexus 7 and ended on 30 September 2012.
I also did get Ice Age free with the N10.

As nice as that would have been, it wasn't just to familiarize new users with the service. It was to get them started on the habit of spending money in the store. Google Play was still only a couple of months old when the N7 came out. Including gift cards with the (then) latest Nexus device just made sense in promoting the service.

Lol was gonna ask for your source, then just googled it myself xD
not to put blockbuster down, but it really just cant compete with the no added fee instant streams and the unlimited movie/month dvd's for only $9. The only thing that can compete is Redbox and its doing quite well(off topic) especially since redbox is currently beta testing game rentals in their kiosks here in Reno.
I hope they change the app to free or cheaper rentals cause I use blockbuster online like crazy. I love it cause I can exchange a movie in the store for a new release on tuesdays. Can't even get a lot of new movies from netflix.

That is my biggest fear since I live in Brazil, so I am thinking of asking my parents in the USA to buy the Nexus 7 activate it there for me and buy what I want then whenever it arrives in Brazil I would not have any region specific problems.
Well It's not like it's a stellar movie so I don't really care much
Is there any way to watch it on a computer? I assume its streaming, so it would likely know what device you're using.

A few apps offer slightly different, Kindle Fire-optimized versions on Amazon. Given the near-identical screen size, these work quite well with the Nexus. For instance, the Play Store version of the excellent rss reader Feedly is clearly for phones, while the version on the Amazon Appstore is Fire-optimized and looks much nicer on the Nexus. Presumably this will change over time as more people develop with the Nexus in mind.

Yes, there are two different apps being talked about BUT to respond to the above comment... the Amazon AppStore has a free app every day. Most days it is a crappy game but a couple times a month, they have something good on there for free. It is worth it to check daily for a good deal.
Hi,
A general question for anyone who's bought a "used" Nexus 7...when you set up your google account did you get your $25 Play Store credit? I bought my N7 off of e-bay (in perfect condition!) ..didn't get the movie or book which doesn't bug me but it doesn't look like I got the Play Store credit...just checking to see what everyone else's experiences were...

Hey guys,
Had my nexus a few months now and loving it.
Also have a HTC One X+ as my work phone.
Today I went to update an app on the HTC One and it received the new Google Play store?
I would have thought that the nexus 4 would have been the first phone to receive this update.
Anyone else have it (officially)? I'm in Australia, but I wouldn't think that it matters since the One X+ received it?

Yeah? I just thought that it was strange that Google didn't update their own devices before others.
Although it could just be a whole play store update regardless of device manufacturer.
P.s- I personally think that it looks like a bit of a downgrade? Very plain

I got my update yesterday and I can't get rid of it if I install the update it just reinstalls itself.
Google have taken all the bad from the old version and enhanced it, it's now 'super' jerky instead of a little. Then all the good from the old version has been thrown out and replaced with giant icons letting you see only 4-6 apps at a time. Google never learn.
Hold on to the older version for as long as you can.

Google would never do that. If there are issues they will fix them and continue rolling it out. Play Store updates can take a long time to roll out and seemingly random (not based on hardware being used).

Nexus gets Android updates first not Play updates. With 1.5 million activations per day and all those devices carrying a Play Store, imagine how many
devices Google needs to update.
To reduce load on their servers, they update devices in batches.
