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...

If we haven't already, we're about to start getting the Nexus 7 north of the border. For those that have already received it, I am curious about just how much is missing relative to what was demo'ed at Google IO. Do we have some Canadian magazines or none at all? Do we finally have access to Google Music? Is Google Now fully functional?
Another question I have is what can we use NFC for here in Canada? I've heard that some 7-11s in Vancouver support Google Wallet though I've never seen one. Do you use it for anything else?
Google Now should work great, I've been getting all the local cards just fine. I leave for the States on Tuesday, and I think I might start counting on the the Now cards for travel, it's that good!
Google Play Magazines is unavailable in Canada. Shame.
I installed the patched Google Wallet .apk from MoDaCo, courtesy of Paul O'Brien, and received a free $10 prepaid card. It should work at any Google Wallet terminal in the States, or any MasterCard PayPass terminal worldwide. I have yet to try it.
I somehow received free songs from the Play Music store, and they're in my library now. Chris Brown or whatever, I don't listen to that ****. There is no way to access the store, this is a confusing problem.
Hope I helped.

In regards to having an unrestricted market, A guy over in the Galaxy S II section created a modified market apk. He's been updating it (last update in April though). Here's the LINK. I haven't tested this myself yet! I plan on doing it later today.
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!

Which makes me wonder, when I go to visit her in Lux, will I be able to use my Nexus 10 there and access the play store?
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.
Thanks again
When I travel led to Canada it showed me the Canadian play store and I could not access the US play store.
Currently have all 3 of these stores, Google's, Sprint's, and Samsung's, available to download apps from and was wondering if they were all the same or if the Sprint and Samsung ones give special "pricing" on apps...
It's a little of everything. Some Sprint apps redirect to the standard Play Store. Some promotions are specific to the Sprint/Samsung portals and do not necessarily have the same .apk as the Play Store. Other promotions are device orientated, so no matter where you get it from, you'll receive the bonus. It's an unnecessary mess and I hope the deal with Samsung and Google does happen so the app redundancy (and bloatware) can be greatly lessened.
If you buy an app from Google play store, you will be able to use that app on every android device you own, if you buy it from Samsung or Sprint, it may not be able to be downloaded on other devices since it won't be associated with your Google account.
Is it the first account to log in on the device or the account used to order it from the Google Store? I accidentally ordered mine from my work account, and I have all of my apps tied to my personal account. Do I just make sure to log in with my personal account first?

On the Google Store page it says a promotional code will be emailed to you once the device ships. You should be able to apply that promo code to the Google account of your choice.
Typically, they send a redemption code to the email associated with the account. If they do this, as they have in the past, then you can actually use that code on any account.
That offer is valid for US only? What about Europe ?

Google Play credit cannot be used on the Google Store, so only apps/music/movies/etc, but no cases or other accessories. And some subscriptions are excluded as well.
If it works the same way the Nexus 7's did, it'll load to your Google account when you sign in to the Nexus 6P.
