What are you spending your $25 Google Play money on?

**Daniel0418** · 07-18-2012, 03:02 PM

So I have $25 to spend on Google Play just like everyone else, but I haven't had an Android Tablet since shortly after the Galaxy Tab 10.1 came out. So I don't know what to buy.

If you have spent some of your $25 already, what was the first thing you bought? I really want to know what you guys are going to spend your $25 on. Books? Magazines? Apps? Music? I am so hesitant, I want ideas!

Games! Let's see what this quad core can do...

I just purchased the David Baldacci book 'Zero Day'. Never purchased an ebook before so this is a new experiment for me. I will probably purchase the pro version of the paperland live wallpaper - it just seems so cool (have the free version loaded). Other than that, probably some office type apps!.

Paperland looks so pretty on the Nexus 7. It is though, the only live wallpaper that I have found that actually slows the device down a bit.

i wish nova 3 didn't run so horribly

**Ziptied** · 07-18-2012, 04:08 PM

Final Fantasy 3 and Gran Theft Auto.

My first purchase was HD Widgets!

**Jedi Neo** · 07-18-2012, 04:29 PM

I got sucked into the preview of the ESPN book, and spent almost half my funds ($10) on that.

Looking for a good workout app that uses resistance bands and medicine balls.

**Daniel0418** · 07-18-2012, 04:52 PM

I am thinking about buying HD Widgets just because the icon and preview logos look so damn cool. I really want a great 3D game to show off, anyone remember some of the games they demod at Google I/O? Maybe I will get one of those.

**effreyj** · 07-18-2012, 05:02 PM

Riptide GP is the jetski game they were demoing at I/O. It's a pretty sweet game.

**pokingmon** · 07-18-2012, 05:33 PM

I bought a few movies, and then went to buy a book and it wouldn't let me use my remaining Play Store balance on it. The option was grayed out and it made me use my CC.

Anyone else have that issue?

**lordzeke325** · 07-18-2012, 05:34 PM

Shadowgun is the best looking game I've ever seen on an Android and it looks/runs fantastic on the Nexus 7. It's a 3rd person shooter similar to Gears of War.

Was the balance enough to cover the entire amount? Wonder if they don't allow multiple payment methods.

I've been with android since the OG Droid and I've had many android tablets so I've pretty much already bought every game/app worth buying. Ill probably buy season 2 of Walking Dead since its not on netflix yet and I still haven't seen it.

The book was $15 and my balance was $5.83 or something. So it sounds like you're right, and the store isn't equipped to deal with showing the user the remainder that needs to be paid with CC.

Sent from my GS3.

GTA 3, NOVA 3, Shadowgun. Also bought the entire Sherlock Holmes collection for 3 dollars. Still have some money left over though

**AndroidLover001** · 07-21-2012, 01:21 AM

SocialFrame (EllevSoft) & Business Calendar (Appgenix Software).

Turned my Nexus 7 into digital photo frame when I am not using.
There aren't many good calendar widgets.

**Silken1987** · 07-21-2012, 04:44 AM

So far I've bought an eBook and a game called Shadow gun. Trying to hold on to this free money for as long as possible. Hehe.

I got few online magazines so far, I don't wanna put money on games, looking forward to spend more on magazine deals

**giograves** · 07-21-2012, 03:28 PM

I'd blow the whole 25 if iMuscle ever made it to Android.

**Zikeji** · 07-21-2012, 06:35 PM

So far only a couple 'good' purchases. I bought the 2 Hunger Games books(the third isn't in the store). I purchased Riptide GP also, that was a good purchase.

The rest were wastes of my money. I had Dead Trigger already, and I tried to purchase 40k cash ($0.99) but the in-store purchase crashed and it took my money and never gave me the cash. So BS. Then I wanted to watch Marvel's The Avengers, and keep in mind I've been drugged up because of pneumonia for a while. I searched for it and found a movie, so I bought it ($2.99), and I went to watch it and noticed it was some random 1998 movie.. Thankfully I read Google's refund policy and if I hadn't activated/started watching it they'd refund me, so I'm waiting on that(been waiting, days).

I then bought "Demolition Inc. HD", to find out that I needed to buy "Demolition Inc. THD". So messed up. Unfortunately I didn't catch that until after the 15 minutes(of course -_-). I emailed them asking for a refund. Haven't even installed it. That was $1.99.

So $4.97 of my credit was botched so far. -_-

Plus I doubt I'll see the $0.99 that the in-app purchase stole from me. -_-

Bought a virus protector, Aldiko book reader so that I could upload and organise my large collection, a pinball game, loi live wallpaper, and a mahjongg game.
