I joined in the Sony chat today on facebook and they said for current UK users a website will be going live tomorrow where you can get 5 free games, 7 free movies and 6 months music unlimited free ( or something along those lines just in case I got something the wrong way round )
The website in question is www.sony.co.uk/unlimited/tablet
And for new buyers of the tablet they will get a leaflet with it explaining this as well, so they will get it as well
Cheers
Sony
and no they didn't answer my question about root
Thanks. It's working today. got an email for 5 games and 180 days music unlimited and 4 weeks of video unlimited for 5 movies
Does this work for US folk?
it seems this is only for those who bought theirs after the 21st November and for £50 less which is nice. The games are free on the store and so is the music trial but the films you seem to need a voucher for and it wont let you register a date prior to the 21st.
In registration i see only: Spain, Italy, UK, Germany.. what a shame

From the US sony store site, so hopefully this will apply to us too
doesnt work for me
Gutted the way they said on facebook if anybody had bought it before the price cuts they would be eligible, but I guess not
Bought mine in October and tried to change the purchase date but keeps saying invalid serial number, hoping from tomorrow it is open for us early adapters as well and its not a case of ha we have your money, now go away
Just emailed customer support to see what they say as it was implied it would be open to all people who had previously bought the tablet, will update if & when I get a reply or fingers crossed it is open for all of us tomorrow
It looks like it already is on tablet without having to register as free games appear in the play station store, was able to download a 180 day trial app for music unlimted but the video app says update required but cant get it to update... yet and destruction derby wont download... yet
in US got 5 free games
I opened the PS store today, and there was the magic word free beside five of the games available, so far ive downloaded cool borders and destru tion derby with no problems, the others were jet moto 1, hot shots golf2, and medievil, although I thought they were going to do it differently, it looks like im going to be able to download all five aat once, I dont know if everyones came with it, but mine also came out of the box with crash bandicoot, and pinball heros(great game).
I havent tried any of the movies or music downloads yet, I will update with any problems.
I purchased my tablet around oct. 20,2011, & although I thought I had registered when I got it, I hadnt until this week. I also havent checked to see if I actually recieved an email from them either, but im sure I did.

Have a look at the Psxperia project on xperia play forum. The format is the same for both devices, an apk and a data folder, but the native emulator on tablet and on 2.3.4 xperia tablet is blocking the format which worked on it before 2.3.4 firmware. Hope it helps.

It was my favourite game on the iPhone and was just released on the Amazon App Store for Android today. Problem is it crashes on opening
Anyone got it to work?
Works for me.
Hm... Maybe a re-install is in order.
Nope! Re-installed and it just crashes or the screen goes black
Edit: Are you rooted at all?
I'm rooted and it works fine for me.
Works fine here.
Now I'm annoyed. I'm not rooted and it's not bloody working! Stupid Android
I bet it's something I'm doing wrong...

How did you manage to get the app?? Amazon won't let me download it because of "geographic restrictions"
Or are you using a US-based VPN?
Found another APK online which works! Now hurry up and bring it to the Market, Popcap.

Plants vs Zombies HD that was just released is a Tegra 2-only release. So the SGSII can't play it without CHF3D.
faked a amazon account with U.S address, dled and worked for me
the version that was online didn't work for me either, it kept crashing at startup. i faked and amazon account ( us), since amazon store is not available in my country, downloaded the app from the store and it works very well. oh, the game is smooth, nice graphics,addictive, but sucks the battery like there's no tomorrow. played for like 45-50 minutes and almost 40% dropped.
Yes same here it drains the battery and uses alot of ram don't know why
Works fine here. Faked US residency on Amazon and got it for free yesterday Nice game.
Could somebody upload it to rapidshare, it's not available in the EU, and i can't pay for it. (I would)

This is the version I'm using: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FL3JRZMK
It should be coming out on the Market in a couple of weeks so don't get too attached to that APK as your game save might be wiped if you buy it
Phone Plants vs Zombies from amazone appstore is working (and also the Plants vs Zombies HD ) on SGS II , without any problem.
I used that tutorial as well to access US Amazon Apostore
PVZ works, its not that "HD" version though, just the one from Amazon Appstore for free yesterday.
Hey has anyone tried the Playstation games yet. The look pretty simple yet but there seems to be hope for the tab gaming future.
I might give it a go when I get home

I'll download syphon filter tonight and try playing it with my logitech remote. Should be pretty revolutionary for the tablet s!
I was a bit disappointed with the PlayStation store. It’s not a bad line up for the first day release, and I will say I am glad Sony is making sure the games are optimized to run on the tablet but I was hoping for the selection I have on my PS3 and even more so to have access to the games I had already bought (like FF7, FF8, Chrono Trigger). I really don't want to mess around with a PSX emulator on my tablet so I am hoping Sony steps up and does some large major releases in the future.
I did find it interesting all the games were branded as Sony Entertainment America Games and I have seen reports Sony is working with the developers to get the rights for other games, But my fingers are crossed for legend of Dragoon.
I cannot use it. When I open pstore it tells me I need to updsate account manager....but when I try to update account manager it says"Purchase cancelled. The item you are trying to purchase cannot be found"

Is it just me or does it seem like half the fricking games in the market marked incompatible?!??!
Even stuff like bejwelled....
a lot of the time I can get the app via my phone, backup the apk and manually sideload it and it works fine. But this is not a permanent fix....
Is this sony being lazy, google being lazy, app devs being lazy, or something else?
Without root I'm guessing there's no fix?!??!
The worst bit is that this 'block' isn't consistent: an app may be blocked in the web market, and doesn't come up when searching from tablet, but say I hit an ad in the marketplace or tegrazone and BAM it lets me install. WHAT THE ?!?!?!?!
Sometimes I think that Sony has something to do with that.. but I hope thats only my conspiracy mind playing tricks on me..

I have a sneaking feeling its app devs who have to mark their apps as compatible or incompatible and since this tablet doesn't have a big presence, it falls through their cracks...
I've seen several games where say the Lite version is marked available but the full version IS NOT (i.e. Siegecraft THD). Of course the full version runs fine if you sideload it... ROFL
Yes it's definitely the app publishers who declare compatibility and I just don't think the tablet s has made a big enough splash. It sucks cause like you said you can sideload the apps. I'm sure once we get ICS things will change...
I gotta say i'm pretty steamed. I specifically got a tegra 2 device to maximize gaming compatibility, now the only "hardcore" games showing are shadowgun, GTA3 and Asphalt 6. No nova, mc2, mc3 etc etc. Not very happy at this point.
The weird part is, a simple realestate app won't show in the market on it :\.
I wish there was some way to just force the market to show all apps, like in cyanogen mod. Just without the need for root since we don't have that yet
It has a LOT to do with fragmentation in Android, with all the different versions on all the different devices, a developer has to test and be 100% sure before it marks its app as "compatible." Try contacting the developer if you want help, unfortunately it's nothing SONY has done.
You dont understand problem.
Some time ago we could buy apps:for example, Dead Space.
But suddenly Android Market said:you couldnt buy this app because it incompatible with your Sony Tablet S.
Can somebody tell me if bang bang racing shows up in the market?
Update, factory reserve fixed it, most apps are good to go. Dread , I would give that a shot.
Don't get mad at Sony for gameloft games being incompatible, that's game loft's fault

Hey wintermute000 can you check if bang bang racing shows up in the market? It there any way to pay for an app or game and then sideload it. The tablet is discounted at tiger direct. I love that game lol.

I do understand problem. What's happening is that Gameloft is updating their game and changing which versions/iterations of Android their game is compatible with, and with the thousand of different variations of Android coming out every day, they have either changed or our software version has changed and they're no longer compatible. As many have said, ICS will fix A LOT of that. You can try a master reset, but other than that just wait for ICS or sideload it from a dropped apk.
Thank you for answer)
I have one question:why EA games(Real Racing 2 and Dead Space) doesnt support sony tablet s?
It's not that they don't support the tablet s, it's just that they're not specifically listed as compatible with either the tablet s or the version of android we're running (maybe sony's update to 3.1.2 or whatever it was) isn't listed under their market description so it won't allow you to install it from the market. There are ways around that but you won't be able to get updates or support through the market. I'm waiting for ICS (hopefully Feb) and most, if not all, of these problems should be resolved!
I know Modern Combat 3 isn't officially supported for our device yet but just wanted to share that it is 49 cents today on the new Google Play Market. Grab it now while its on sale so you are ready for when it is supported :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM3HM&feature=apps_promotion_2012_03_06_AppsFavorites#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLG51bGwsImNvbS5nYW1lbG9mdC5hbmRyb2lkLkFOTVAuR2xvZnRNM0hNIl0.
It is possible to buy this game with a prime?
I don`t have any other android devices.
Nice joke Gameloft and suport for Asus xD
Nevermind, Delete.
This is killing me because I just withdrew all the money from my card >.< won't get paid again until next week !!!!
I'd like to get it, but Play won't allow me to purchase it as it's not compatible. You'd think they'd let you buy it anyhoo with a disclaimer.
you can purchase it from the web store front if you dont have another android device

This. I personally just use my gingerbread running Droid charge to buy things that aren't compatible yet. Popular apps will get more compatibility as ICS penetration grows
Unfortunately, I have a couple other Android devices - says it's incompatible with all.
I have 3 android devices
prime-not suported
xperia active- not supported
xperia mini-supported
Now we have to wait for prime support
Supported and runs well on my Samsung Galaxy S2 which is on CM9. It seems ICS is supported fine so I wonder what the problem is.
Works well on my SGS2 running latest leaked build of ICS as well. Tried pulling the APK and installing it on my Prime, but I get a not compatible with device when I try to open it. So we just have to wait until Gameloft decides to support it.
Bought it via my Sensation.... cheers! Here's to a .49 cent investment into the future!
Oh come on Gameloft.. How hard can it be to make it available on the Prime. I've got the impression they dont want my money^^ Its as if they're telling me to use other methods than buying...

What do you mean by that?
On the web android market, there is also a compatibility check.
Or do you mean something else?
I've downloaded quite a few apps that aren't supposed to be comparable with prime yet not had even the slightest glitch yet, shame i guess people gave already tried with this with no luck

Because of todays scattered phone specs, it is not adviceable to buy a game before trying it out. It's true that you can get your money back for some minutes after a purchase, but hey, no one can try out a compex game in this time (you need to download gigs of data after purchase), and because of this you MAY just throw your money out of the window. I'm not advertising warez, but to be honest it has got a bright side too. I've always tried out every game before purchase, and never disappointed or lost even a penny
BTW the games the OP mentioned are working good qith xperia U, so they SHOULD run on sola too!
