S.W.A.G (US) - Nexus 4 General

I couldn't find this posted anywhere, so i apologize if this has been stated before (yes i did search).
I just wanted to let everyone know that the US edition of the Nexus 4 came with a bunch of free media. Highlights include:
Complete season 1 of BBC's Planet Earth (was selling in play store $20+)
Complete season 1 of Falling Skies (prob $20 bucks ish, but i never looked, nor did i even know anything about this show)
Transformers (Free again, if you never got it with the Nexus 7)
Couple books, magazines and singles.
See attached image (note that the all the single songs included couldn't fit in the image)
******EDIT******
Sorry guys- Just realized (as pointed out below)- It showed in the video ap that all the episodes are listed, but that was just suggestions.
So they just gave us 1 episode free of each season plus the movie, books and songs.
Again sorry for misreading it.

Thank you for this. I was wondering how I got the movie transformers. I kept looking to make sure I wasn't charged for the movie. Lol. This was bugging me bad. It must have come with my Nexus 7

So did I o.o, I wondered why I was able to play it without paying.

I checked and the Planet Earth and Falling Skies are only for the first episodes.
Thanks for the heads up on the free content though:good:

The books and music are given to UK users as well.

Very cool! Thanks for the info.

that planet earth looks AWESOME on this screen.

hmm seems like you can't watch them if you're rooted

im rooted though...no issues

It's just the first episode that we get for free

When I try to watch planet earth it prompts me to purchase HD or SD for $1.99 or $2.99. How do get books and movies free?

Sweet! This means I can instantly start watching some HD content on that crisp 320ppi display once I get the phone! If Google ever restocks of course...

Yea sucks that they don't work if rooted, but at least we can still see them from the comp.

I am rooted also and have no issue watching the free media. Those with issues, what method did you use to root your phones?

Completely off topic but buying a PS3 tomorrow...

I need to know what games to get. I'm going to get the Killzone 3 bundle so I'll have that one, but I'm going to buy 3 other games as well. Got my heart set on Dead Space so I need two more recommendations.
Marvel VS. Capcom 3, if you like fighting games, that is. Don't know about a second recommendation.

Yeah I'll probably get Black Ops, I was a big fan of MW on 360.
I don't know about RPGs anymore, I was a huge fan of them back in the FF7 days but I haven't played one since then. Not really a fan of fighting games either.
Homefront looks badass.

Agree. Not to mention, had my daughter spill a whole cupfull of water on mine, while it was playing a movie. Unplugged it, dryed it, and it still works like it's brand new! Unlike the 360, all u have to do is look at it wrong and your sending it off to get serviced. Microsoft piece of crap!

Can't lie, XBL is badass, I love the features but what is it now, $60 a year?
Not much really but still a pain to have to pay for something like that on top of paying $60+ for games.
But for some people who don't have a computer or sick phone, my gf's friend only has a ps3 and a wii, no computer and a jinky old phone and she uses her ps3 to watch youtube vids and uses it to search the web.
Hell I use my ps3 almost all day on my days off, between streaming music, watching netflix and playing black ops, it never gets a break and never once has it over heated or givin me any errors, my dad's 360 always has disc read errors even after getting the lense cleaned.

Netflix pissing me off. Nintendo 3DS, sure. Xoom? Nope

Netflix now has an app for the Nintendo 3DS, yet we can't get one for these Tetra 2 powerhouses. Hell, it works on my Nook!
Its really annoying. I cancelled my account.
If you have an account, please call and ask about it. The more people complain, the more likely they are to make the fix.
Ill restart my subscription if they get it going, but for now, Netflix has lost a customer.
Has anyone heard if/when they are going to step up?
I have to admit that I am surprised that nvidia isn't screaming at them.
i just got my own account the other day, i've been piggybacking off of others for like a year and a half. I can't wait to have it on my xoom so I can just plug it into my living room TV instead of lugging one of my consoles out there, but I can wait.
I couldnt help but to laugh when I first saw a youtube video on 3Ds...I mean it was a big slap in the face to all xoom users.
youtube video?

yeah, we get it, netflix is on the 3ds. this WAS announced from the start you know.
And its not like the doesn't work on the zoom, they just disabled the streaming portion. It took them almost a year after the HTC evolution came to even release an android client, no telling how long for a tablet version.
Yeah no kidding Netflix should be a given on such power full tablets I just don't get it
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Haha I do have Netflix on my 3DS right now!
But for my Xoom, nah not possible yet, I hear ya OP. But the 3DS is Nintendo. The Wii is one of the consoles that Netflix fully supports, and if you look at the 3DS version, it's basically the same app ported over from the Wii to the smaller portable 3DS screen.
Nintendo and Netflix have a console+steaming service relationship. They will always officially support each other, no matter what. This is not the case with Android. Not fully and completely supported, not just yet anyways.
We will see full Android support for Netflix in due time. Maybe when Ice cream sandwich makes its debut, who knows. All new tablets and phones will run the same exact OS, making it pretty easy to fully support all devices without a problem. That's what I believe they are looking to do. Makes perfect sense.
The is one of the worst consoles ever. My kids wont even play it, thed rather play angry birds on my phone/tablet. Just email netflix ever day about the xoom...bug the crap out of them

That would be nice, if they listed an email address or had a form to submit. Their customer service contact page only shows a phone number. But, I did just call and had a refreshingly frank discussion with the rep who answered my call. He said they were actively working on it and the issue was related to meeting studios' requirements for DRM in Honeycomb tablets. He was aware of the discussions here and on the other Xoom forum and he even said that some users had been able to change settings to make it work (he wasn't specific, but I presume he meant the build.prop device ID or something like that). I'm still running stock, so I told him this wasn't an option but I thanked him for his candor. He said it was definitely in development, but was unable to provide a timeframe.
I have to admit that his knowledge of the issue and his apparent honesty have me satisfied for the moment and willing to wait a while longer.

This whole thing with neflix cracked me up. I always thought their streaming selection was pretty weak, I only wanted the dvd's as the last rental place in my town went out of business. So I dropped the streaming part, kept the dvd's and saved $2 bucks. To add to that, I always end up using www.crackle.com as it's free and has lots of good movies and shows. It'll also work on the Xoom browser and on my ps3. Netflix screwed up, greedy company is greedy!

Crackle looks interesting but I can't use it without an almost immediate FC on my stock browser. And keeping a pc running at home while I travel, just so I can run a third party streamer, seems unnecessary. I, for 1, am willing to wait a bit longer... (at least until I find something better)

Playon has to be the biggest piece of crap, you can't even rewind with that or skip forward while playing Netflix, also if viewing Netflix thru playon it wont remember your position if you stop and resume later, splashtop is way better.

I had the same problem. I had to log into the Android market on my computer and bought it then it downloaded to my Xoom.
The game is cool and works well until you leave the range and then openfeint crapware kicks in and nukes game play, you have to restart the game to get a different weapon.
did 2 reviews about the game on android market and the devs pulled 1 review down, i suspect my second review will be pulled shortly..lol
Buy it if you can put up with openfeint ware crapping out ALL the time.

so this game was supposed to be released today. has not hit tegrazone or market yet...also androidpolice had two posts up related to shadowgun in the past 20 minutes, including one saying that it was released but they pulled them down right after they were posted.
anyone know whats going on with this highly anticipated release?
Check the android market right now. I just checked and it is up in there. I don't know if it is on the tablet market, because I'm at work right now, but it is on the web market. Can't wait to go home and play it!
yup you are correct! they just put it up. downloading it now

I keep getting failures on downloads, so I found a place to download the SD Card content in .zip format, yeah, I know, but I bought it and want to play it.
Anyway, where on the "SD Card" are they supposed to go?
Thanks,
Gameloft should learn from Madfinger or EA to make their game, high graphic quality but less data capacity. (1.7 Gb for Tintin vs ~400 mb for shadowgun).

@keu nhu vac
Gameloft has been using its own game engine. It was supposed to switch to Unreal 3 starting with March of Heroes, but MoH was canceled. But look for future GL games to be using the new game engine.
BTW, Shadowgun uses the Unity engine, which has a free Windows version for would-be game devs. The non-pro Android add-in costs $400, which is still peanuts relatively speaking.

I've seen footage of it on youtube, but because it's paired via bluetooth it's slow, like if you are moving forward and let go of the analog, you proceed to move forward for a short period because of the lag between controller and tablet.
