That sucks. Should be a one time charge from market. I hate games that do this, they are just a waste of money especially if its to buy ingame upgrades. Just horrible.
i will play the free till im bored then delete im not payin 15 dollars their trippin
I was swilling to pay the $14 anyways before it was free so no biggie to me.
installed now on my atrix and my acer iconia but i have to wait to try it. cant play at work
lookin' good
The graphics are amazing, but I think its messing with my brightness controls. Seems really bright. Also I am totally losing to the pirates when you team with gartun.. or w/e his name is. Does the data store on SD?

well it's not really an 'upgrade', you're basically playing the "LITE/FREE" version and you would be paying for the FULL version. we are actually getting a demo version for the Tegra, whereas anyone else who wanted to even try the game has to actually buy it flat-out.
Its on the market... Game is pretty difficult.died like 5 times
My question is if we buy it in game, is the license transferable like normal market games?
Update: I'm a sucker for these Star Fox styled games. SF64 is the best game, and I just got suckered into buying this. These graphics are amazing! I wish the audio clips had a bit longer of a pause after talking. It doesn't sound natural. Crashed once directly to the home screen, and I hope there is an update in the future to disable the brightness. When you turn towards the star(s), it gets super bright. I might post a review on this.

is it just me or are the controls pretty bad?
They are somewhat finicky. It's kind of difficult to implement the controls of this style with a single analog stick. Think SuperMan 64 (lol not!).

Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1YGlG5SvuE
this is the best looking cell phone game I have seen. To think when I got my first cell phone I was excited it had tetris on it and now look where the games are.
Not working in my atrix :-(
will try to reinstall and redownload again

$15 for a cell phone game? What a joke
Since Samsung is only releasing a 16GB version of the tablet here in Canada, there's no option for 32gb unless ordering from the US. After base o/s install, there is roughly 12GB free. Has anyone bought the 16GB and found it to too limiting? 12GB is probably plenty of room for quite a few app installs, but adding videos would kill it real quick. The omission of an sd card slot is really disappointing, but it is what it is. Buying an android tablet unfortunately seems to be more about making compromise than anything.

So far 16GB's seems to be more than enough for me. It really depends on how you set your self up. Here's a couple of things I've done to help give me a bit more usable room on my Tab.
1. Use online storage like Dropbox and Box.net and their android apps. With Dropbox you can get 2GB's free and if you get other people to sign up from a link you email them you can get more free storage. I got most of my family and a few friends to sign up this way, I'm up to 5GB's of free online storage with Dropbox alone. Box.net you can get another 5GB's of free online storage for free just for signing up. I use both of these to store all of my wallpapers, icons pictures and such. Saves a ton of room and makes everything available to me no matter where I am. You can use these sites from your Tab or your phone by using their apps or any laptop or desktop by going to their sites.
2. If you plan on using your Tab for work things like word docks, spreadsheets and PDF's... Use Google Docs, I've been using Google Docs for the last few years now and haven't even come close to using up the space they give you for free. I'm a chef and use it to keep all of my recipes, cost control documents... Again for the same reasons I stated above. I've also started using EverNote over the last year and now that I have my Tab I find myself using it even more. Being a chef I'm very much into keeping a running record of the food and dishes I make. With EverNote I can snap a picture with my eVo of a special or new dish and make a few key quick notes, then on the train ride home at the end of the day I can edit that note on my Tab to make it more detailed.
3. For your music you can use any number of online music storage sites. I use Googles Music Beta, again for the reasons i've stated before. I can get to everything in my collection from anywhere, on my phone, my Tab and any computer anywhere.
Those 3 things alone save a ton of space on my Tab as well as my eVo and make it very easy for me to access all of my stuff from anywhere.
It should leave you with more than enough space on your Tab for any number of apps. As for movies, just make sure that they are formated right. And how many times can you watch the same movie over again, once you've watched vid or movie just either delete it or one it to your computer.
I have over 50 apps installed on my Tab, all of the StarWars movies, and I mean all of them 1 through 6 and some other movie with Mat Damon in it. And I still have over 7GB's free memory.
Live in the cloud brother... Make thing a bit easier.

16GBs isn't enough for me. Typically most one hour 720P HD video clips will take up anywhere from 1.5 to 1.9GBs and that leaves me little room for music. Despite using spotify, dropbox, pandora, and netflix i still can't keep enough media to last me for a trip longer than 5 hours
A quick question to you guys: are the 32/64 bit versions not available anywhere in Europe? For me 16GB is definitely not enough. I am struggling with 32GB on my current Galaxy Tab 7"....

um ok. I guess you've never been on a long road trip or train ride. There is only so many times you can watch the same movie/video over again.
16GB is definitely enough for what most people use tablet for. But it's true that there are times where i do store HD movies in the tab and i wish i could store more HOWEVER it's definitely not enough to justify getting 32gb for $100 more
This has been discussed to some extend here: Is 16GB enough?
For me it's more than enough. With all the cloud space everywhere I don't need more. I have with me the stuff I really need/want and everything else is available only via an internet connection.
That might not be an option for someone else. That person needs to wait for/get a 32/64 GB model. I'm perfectly happy with the 16 GB.

That's what the USB adapter and two USB thumb drives are for.
64GB extra instead of 16GB extra for $100 extra.
with apps like google music and netflix i have yet to run out of space on my 16gb.
I bought the 16GB version today. I almost mail ordered a 32gb from the US, but then I thought if I have hardware issues I might be out of luck. I plan to get the USB adapter which I can only find on ebay right now.

I am just wondering if anyone has any tips or mods I can do to lower the nasty pixilation I see when streaming over netflix or other movies sometimes.it happens on wifi and 3g.
it drives me insane when im watching a movie over hdmi output and it even gets "blurry" on my tv screen. Am I alone? Is there anything I can do to make it look clearer /sharper?
I didn't think it should show up like that on my tv also but it does. And the tv isn't a bad tv.
Just looking for a little more clarity. Mainly just a bit more consistent clarity. I don't mind it once in a while but it happens more than I like.
Thanks for any input.
There was a post this week (previous page ) called "Encoding settings for video playback" that was also addressing this issue (i believe). It was a little over my head technically, so I'm not sure what was concluded, but it sounds like what u r saying.
Oh, and I have the exact same experience (annoying), so lemme know what ya find out ; )

See I don't understand this statement because it happens with ANY video/movie I watch with my x2. Have even viewed highly rated quality movies from "certain nameless " websites and get the same problem.
The only thing I don't really get nearly as much.pixilation while viewing is quality videos on youtube when viewing in high quality mode ((go figure))
Even when I was complete stock unrooted and rented a movie from google market I got the same problem.((I can't remember how constant it was but I KNOW pixilation was there))
Also im not really speaking of my videos I recorded.((of which I had great quality and playback was great also when atv720p and DVD quality )) but that was when using blur camera...I haven't tried any video recording on eclipse miui camera yet
Too many variables are involed with streaming. Every company may say streaming is the way to go when its not. Your internet connection, how many people are streaming on Netflix, plus SD vs hd, settings in Netflix, crappy HDMI chord. Bought an HDMI chord from an August zed retailer for Verizon and everything was pixilated. Didn't even get to the video when I saw how bad it.was.I just unhooked and returned. Rent or download the video. That's how you get the best quality. Streaming is 50/50 usually better hardware also makes the difference. Its probably recognizing that its mobile and is giving you crap cause they need to make sure their videos need to work within the fragmentation of android as a whole. Best to leave streaming on laptops hooked to your HDTV and streaming on mobile on you cellphone screen.

The thing is the "blurry" picture on the tv screen looks EXACTLY like the image on my phone screen. It is an exact mirror. Im trying to figure out if there is a way I can fix that.
It was worse on eclipse 7. Something in one of the init.d scripts caused my gjjellyfish test to max at 22fps and my mandlebrot score to be horrific. So now that those are back to normal it doesn't happen as often but it is still noticeable. Just wondering if there is a way to improve that.
Do you get the problem with a video file on the phone itself? Cause so far all I can say is that blur is from the servers if it is not happening with the video file on the phone. I don't stream Netflix on my cell and when I used the mirror to an HDTV it looked horrible on TV but perfect on my cell.
It streaming depends with the host servers and overall quality of the video for mobile since they most likely won't be the same video files for computer's cause they meed to make sure it can stream on a 3g network and have the customer not die from old age waiting for it to load. Even though you use wifi it will still send the IP of a mobile which will get you the mobile version which may not be as good.
Only fix is to stream over a laptop instead. If you went through the apps and this did nothing then there is nothing you can do on your end.

Has anyone tried using dolphin hd spoofed as a desktop to see if they can stream from netflix website? I think I may try this later on to see if that helps anything ...
SO I rented Death Proof from the play store, I hooked up my Prime to my Samsung TV, made sure my input was set to just scan, since 16x9 caused overscan, hit play and all I got was sound and no movie, unplug cable movie plays fine on Prime. So I thought OK maybe it's a streaming problem, so I downloaded it instead of streaming it, same result. Came to work today and hooked my monitor up with a different cable, same result.
My Prime isnt unlocked, just rooted. I am able to play other files and play games just fine over hdmi, but no go for play rentals?
Whats up with that google/Asus?

Please search the forum, the topic has already been discussed multiple times.
Due to copyrighted reason Google doesn't allow movie rented from the tablets to be transferred to a bigger screen.
Thanks for the reply.
You try to play by the rules (purchasing a rental) and they restrict that you can't watch it on the big screen, thats crap and makes people do the download thing.
I had the same question. I guess there will be no renting from Google, they really limited themselves, who wants to watch the movie on a 10 inch screen with a 46 inch in the room?

I was reading in another thread about Google's movies policy and it should be able to go full screen. Somethings messed up in the way the rentals are being handled.

Watching on your HDTV
To watch movies rented on Google Play on your HDTV, you'll need:
an HDTV that supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)—check your tv manufacturer's website to see if your HDTV is HDCP compliant
a Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable or an MHL adapter and HDMI cable, depending on your device
Once you connect your device to your HDTV, the screen of your device should be mirrored on your HDTV (both display the same content), with the audio playing on your HDTV. If the video plays without audio on your HDTV, you may need to change the input in your HDTV's audio settings.

Google should never have agreed to MPAA terms for movie business segment. Root on android is really no different than administrator rights within windows.
Google gave up a lot to get rights for movie rights that few will use more than once. $5 to rent a movie to rent a movie that can only be viewed on a 10 inch (or smaller) screen without ability to output via HDMI? Can't imagine many, even the non tech savvy, to make the mistake of renting from Google Market more than once.
Someday the MPAA will realize that their attempts at preventing piracy only serve to promote it. Until they get a clue, Market will not be a viable source for movie rentals.

I meet those standards and I have the right cables and so forth. It looks pretty black and white to me that it should work.
I don't think root is causing the issue as people who haven't rooted can't get it to work, like someone else posted some flag is messed up somewhere.
EDIT: NM it seems rented videos are working fine on rooted Primes.

Mine is rooted and I've just rented and watched a movie directly on the Prime. However, I cannot see it on my TV.
I suppose it could be worse, they could just say F You, your rooted and no video at all. But this is the last time I rent anything from them until they get this straightened out. Has anyone tried playing it directly from the browser instead of through the play app?

I believe that it's working at all on rooted Primes is a bug in and of itself. Play movies will not play rental content on my rooted phone with a message saying as much.
Google movies do work on rooted devices, but they're not supposed to. If you look at the amazon/kindle system, they learned early on that root check is possible as a means of DRM control, but ultimately developed workarounds.
As far as the reason for the restrictions go, it's not a far cry to jump from hooking up HDMI to watch on your larger TV screen to hooking up to a projector and performing the movie in front of a crowded theater/auditorium.
Yes, it was possible to do the same thing with physical media in the past, but this is the direction digital DRM is going in. It's a very different story from the move of digital music to being DRM-free - there's no such thing as a standard mobile video player or file format to force publishers to release their grip the way there was for mp3.

Annnnnnnddddd this is the reason I will continue not to buy or rent movies.
When ps3 came out I bought about 10 blu-rays per month.
When Netflix came out I happily bought my subscription.
Well guess what.... haven't bought a blu-ray in probably about a year and a half and haven't had netflix for about 6 months.
Why? Because I feel like they treat us like criminals.
Even TV is ridiculous, few months ago I had thrown back a couple beers. I moved away from my hometown and was feeling football home sick. So I grab the remote and go to the NFL network so I could watch the packers. It says click here to order, so I click. Now it says call the 1800 number... so I sigh and call Verizon, thinking in 5 minutes ill be able to watch the game. After a long argument with the rep I hung up and illegally streamed it from an unnamed website.
Why? Well, to get the NFL network its $50 per year. No sweat I get to watch my team in high definition, good stuff.
Not really....
To get the NFL network I have to not only buy the NFL ticket, I also have to buy some premium package for another $10 per month. I told the rep that I didn't need other package and she said that was the only way to get the game.
So you know what? F?!# Verizon F?!# NFL and F?!# the movie and music industry.
I won't buy into this bulls?!# and I will continue to pirate away and only support my favorite artists.
If they spent half the money they spend on anti piracy on quality of product or ease of access then their profit margins would go way up.
Or.. lower prices and get higher volume, but I prefer higher quality.

Not saying it's right, wrong, or otherwise. I was just explaining the reasoning behind the unlikeliness of seeing this particular type of DRM disappear anytime soon. Video will (probably) always get ripped to a DRM-free version, but it won't usually start there as a native format.
Oh no worries. I'm nit arguing with anything anyone here said. I just read over it and instantly got frustrated. Between the experiences I've had and all this sopa crap its getting out of control. Everyone is so paranoid about piracy now a days no one remembers how to make content worth buying.
My wife and I loved the movie hangover, it was hilarious. We rented the hangover 2 the other day and watched about 25 minutes before turning it off. I mean I felt like we were watching the same movie.
Although I did find the new eminem and coldplay album to be pretty awesome. Bought both through google play.
Sorry didn't mean to derail this thread I just feel very strong about the lack of quality content compounded by the ever increasing security and stipulations.
Meanwhile steam is the only content provider that GETS IT.

Is there anywhere to find rentals that will work on HDMI out?
We all know that HDMI works on our tablets but is there anywhere to find movie rentals that our Prime can stream out to an HDMI TV? The family is leaving on a vacation and it would be nice to watch some movies on the TV in the room.
It's still hooked up to my TV but I forgot it's there.

I use my everyday for Netflix, youtube, streaming radio, stored music, Google Music, web browsing on my TV.
If only Cm10.1 didn't break the amp so I could still power my sub

Not great on quality, but you can certainly stream from the Nexus Q to a bluetooth receiver and into an AUX port on your stereo system. Otherwise going via HDMI into a receiver allows you to get the full surround effect.
I've collected a few Q's and I'm trying to find ways to still use the stock amp via a bluetooth stream TO the Nexus Q (CM9 Nexus Quantum Singularity?) or disabling the Nexus Q app forced NFC push and enabling stock Android Beam to push songs to the Q. This works great on CM10.1 RC5 for Youtube.
Spare Nexus Q?
If anyone has forgotten about their Q and wants to forget about it on a more permanent basis, let me know as I may just be interested in helping you out with that one
They were never on sale here in the UK and I really want one for a project and for generally geeking around but have yet to be able to get hold of one for a half reasonable price.

I really love my Q Ball and have only took it out the box once or twice never seen a single movie on it yet the light show it produces really looks awesome. I would be willing to let it go for a good trade. Pm me if you ever read this and still are looking for one.
I bet that could happen to me aswell, but prolly not if i had a nexusQ.
Running raspbmc on a raspberry, witch is frequently used, as my media hub..
Would like to see more integration to android devices though.
