Don’t know if everyone already knows about this, apologies if they do, but a new app has just appeared for me as a phone update. It's called Xperia Privilege, and it is a Beta app that will hold special offers for Xperia phone users. At the moment you can get an ok photo editor for free for the next couple of weeks (had a quick look, not terrible for something for free, has more effects than some free ones I have seen) and for Xperia Z users specifically you can get a voucher for £20 £22 and a month free Music Unlimited.
I didn't actually get it to work properly, I actually got £22 for some reason Edit: It is £22 not £20. The free month of Music Unlimited it mentioned did not work - but this might be because I had a free trial available anyway to use (or I just read it wrong somehow, I couldn’t go back to check the details once I got it annoyingly)
In the terms it says there are a limited number of these vouchers available (per week) so it is first come first serve each week, but that could be just in case there is too much demand so they can limit it. I would still get it quick if you do want it just in case though.

I think sony should offer unlimited music and movies for free, this should sway user to sony phone. Netflix charge 8 a month, which isnt bad but their movie selection blows.

I don't think free would work too well for Sony financially, they should offer Xperia users a reduced rate if they take movies and music service together I think that would be good move.

i thought it would be more bloatware when it turned up in my update centre but it's actually kind of useful. I've added £22 to my PSN account, enough for 2 full games such as Assassin's Creed 1/2 etc, or a 90 day PS+ subscription to get maybe 12 full games free.

How about backing up your phone. Flashing UK firmware. Getting said app. Taking advantage of the. Offers and redeeming the code for PlayStation store credit. Then flashback to whatever firmware your using and restoring. Worth a try.

I only watched one movie and the quality was great but the whole concept of how the rentals work sucked about as bad as not getting Froyo yet. I let $46 expire because I forgot about it. It would have been nice if they would have sent out a reminder email letting you know it was going to expire. Oh well free is free. Waiting for the Netflix Android app.
Well, an update... Cant play videos cant view my media fprce closes if I try to do said things.. Awesome! Great work samsung /sarcasm
I got.my code and its not very good. You are limited to the selection if using the $50 free code. It expires once you activate the.code.like 30 days later. I have lime 13 movies I purchased the.day my code expired that I have to still dl and watch.lol I wont they will just expire. The media Hub and free codes suck

I bought 300, tried to all share it but couldn't so I didn't watch it.
2 days later I bought it again, watched the intro, then cut it off.
A week later I bought it, watched the whole thing, then bought v for vendetta and watched it.

I was just wondering what you guys, if any of you, installed in case of a lost/stolen phone.
I mean that I would like to find a proper app that wipes the phone for outside on a simple text message or any other things that cannot be disable by the theft if it happens. I've tried some of them, forgot the names, but it doesn't seem to work, well that was before NAND though.
Of course, I would like to find an app that is free, but if there's really nothing that work, well then I'll pay if it's a decent price.
Any clues?
I use Lookout... It is free in the market and if you decide too, you can pay for premium. It give you a full trial for 30 days I think it is but you get most features in the free version.

Thanks, though the problem that I saw with this app is that in the free version there is no "wipe" available as it is only in the premium version. And paying 30$ every year is not what I'm looking for... Though if another app has a 1 time payment, then it might be acceptable.
If it's free, it's even better...
Thanks anyways, I've already installed the app you told me
Yup... that is a drawback for sure, but I haven't found a free one as of yet. I'm still considering the premium lookout myself just cause it does so much.

Get asphalt 6 for her phone
Thats the racing game i was on about, couldn't remember the name of it. I was going to get it on her phone but she hasn't set up her payment details properly and it was light so i just left it to the next day, i didn't know that the apps for 10p changed daily then so ive missed out.
I got GLWG for 10p which is good fun, im just stocking up on good 10p games even if they wont work well on our x10 ready to play on whenever i get a new phone or tablet.
trouble downloading from market
hope someone can help me on this.
been trying to download some of the featured discounted apps but it keeps saying "error occured. please try again." i also tried on other regular paid apps (outside the discounted section) and i still get the same error. free apps i can download no problem.
i thought it has something to do with where i am (Philippines) but when i try to do it via pc browser, the paid apps get pushed to my device with no problems.
any of you have any thoughts on this?
thanks!

It should be noted first that I want to disable all the Samsung Account crap I can from my Note. That said, I do wish to spend as much of my $50 as possible. Will movies or music purchased via the Samsung Store play on a regular computer or my phone?? I don't want something that has to log into Samsung every time to make sure I am authorized to use it. I've got enough of that issue with iTunes, but at least there I can purchase DRM free.
Thoughts on where to spend the $???
I too would like to know what others suggest. I've never used the hub, so I have no idea if things like music are tied to the account or can you download it and use on any device without issues.
ive poked around, ive spend about 20 of it.. not much in there i like, far.. and i mean far less goodies then google play... if ya ask me, they should have gave 25 for the hub, 50 for play
Music is what im buying. You can download straight to an sd card and your purchases are saved to your account for later download or streaming.

I'm sure you can. I got in on that Jayz samsung promo, and all the files were pure mp3 with no DRM.
like everyone else has noticed, the Samsung store is pretty crappy and not much to spend $50 on.

Samsung's email tells you that a credit card is required to be on file when using the gift card...I think they are hoping that you end up spending a little extra.
So I can't decide what to waste my $50 credit on.
The book library is majorly lacking.
I'd rather buy an App from the Google Play store (don't want to deal with 2 separate locations.
Music? - Are these even normal Mp3s?
Movies - I dunno I guess I could rent a few.

**** THIS IS FOR THE T-MOBILE (D6616) MODEL *** Not sure if other models are eligable.
The free movies promotion is now live! Log into the Xperia Lounge app, and you will see the link at the top! Looks like Sony gave us additional bonus movies besides the three that were already announced!
Previously announced:
1 . Ghostbusters
2. The Amazing Spiderman 2
3. Captain Phillips
Bonus (unannounced videos):
4. 22 Jump Street
5. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2
6. Money Ball
Appearantly, only way to watch and/or download is via a wifi connection. There should be an option for using mobile data. Hope they can fix this.
Damn, before they only gave 1 movie for free.
Thanks!
No free movies in Germany
Here in Germany there´s no offer for free movies. Early this morning I had a look at Xperia Lounge app an there´s no offer.

I've got three movies for free.
3? I got all six. Try again, you should be able to get all six.

alright, this is how I did it.
Open your app drawer and search for the app called Xperia™ Lounge (it's blue in color).
Once you've opened the app, You'll see a list of cards/tiles/pages (whatever you want to call them).
You'll see a card which has the film posters on it and says "Redeem..." click on it,
Once on that page, scroll down and click Next to bring up the terms and condition popup, read it (or don't), and accept it.
voila! you will have your code.
note down the code on a paper (or open chrome), head to SOE accounts page, and type it down (or copy paste it) and click redeem.
You've got your movies now!
I haven't received a code and are you storing them to the phone?
These just showed up in my Xperia Lounge app, I'm using an Unlocked Z3 with a Three Sim
