Do you know what the deal is with the Amber update? Is it a waiting game or is there another way to get it?
Click to expand...
Pretty much a waiting game, with AT&T very unlikely to ever actually provide it.

You CAN manually install it somehow, but it flashes the whole phone, killing any saves, etc. that were on the phone.

So from my understanding anything in the Xbox section has achievements?

That's pretty cool.
Click to expand...
Yep, there is a lot to choose from. It would be nice if they had 400 GS though.

EDIT: Anybody know if The Dark Knight has a glitched achievement or is there one that takes a long time to grind? Noticed at X360A, only 1 person has 200 GS.

My 521 supposedly has the latest update, but the storage size of apps is ridiculous. Is Six Guns really around 860 MB? I had to remove Parking Mania to see if there is a phone update to download, that game was around 500 MB or so if I remember correctly which is absolutely silly.

Also, Paul's article about the Rayman update says the size now should be 78 MB, but my install is 134 MB. Is the install size supposed to be nearly double the download size?

Can you use money in your Microsoft Account to purchase games on the phone?

EDIT: Yes. Have a few games I want to pick up now.

Is that only a WP8 thing? I have WP7 and it only lets me use a credit card or my tmobile account. Also, what is the wallet app?

I'm not sure. That would explain why I didn't know about the feature before.

I'm pretty sure the wallet app is WP8 thing though, I didn't have it on WP7. It came pre-loaded on Lumia 1020.

Picked up Batman, but haven't played it yet. Glad to read there's only 1 iffy achievement.

 
I just got a windows phone a few days ago and I'm in love. Picked up the batman game, along with a few free ones and ilomilo. Quick question though, how often do games go on sale? I'm holding off on buying more because I wanna see what kind of sales happen. I would love to grab chaos rings or final fantasy but they're a bit pricy.

Yeah, I'm interested in those two as well, but they're more than I want to spend.

Usually one Xbox enabled WP games goes on sale every week, on Thursday. Once in a while there are bigger sales but they don't happen very often.

Wow, I can't believe my low-end phone can't run rocket riot. I am always surprised when it doesn't meet the requirements for a dinky little like this when it can run Six Guns without any issues.

Not that I am particularly interested in this game. I still haven't touched my XBLA copy.

The next "big" sale will probably be on Black Friday.

 
I really enjoyed Rocket Riot on WP far more than the XBLA version. Fantastic port!

I'm heavily leaning towards finally buying a lot of the WP games I've been holding out for a sale on. All these recent delistings have me scared that if I wait too long, I'll never be able to get them. Besides, the average WP sale is maybe $1 or $2 off, compared to XBLA sales that can knock off $5 or more.

I got it when it was free and enjoyed it. I think it was pretty short though, but challenging if you want all the achievements. I'd say it's worth $0.99

Yeah, it's just kind of a sidescrolling runner, but it controls well and is fun. Easily worth $1. One of the last good games I played on WP.

Sold. Thanks guys.

I probably will not come close to getting 100%, but what the hell......

Dream Track Nation and Tiny Plane have dropped to $0.99 each. Not sure if it's a sale or price drop.

Assassin's Creed, Uno, and Brain Challenge are all back on the marketplace for $0.99 each as well. They were previously delisted for a few weeks.

I think Dream Track Nation was on sale recently. I remember looking up gameplay for it. From what I've found, it sounds like it might be delisted soon. Haven't heard anything about Tiny Plane.

I wonder if Brain Challenge had achievements fixed.

 
Angry Birds Star Wars 1&2, Classic, and Rio are all free on WP8 right meow.

EDIT: I highly recommend all of them.

I dunno, I thought both of them looked alright, just not worth $3. But for $1 I would have grabbed them both.

Banned on Xbox Live so I decided to not get a new WP8 and just went with an S3 instead. Before my ban I went about 4 months only buying one game because the sales were bad and just repeated content. In the less than one month since I got my S3 there have been 3 games I would have purchased.

 
so my phone's charging port has gone to crap. I've tried numerous charging cords and still nothing so I know its the port. I have to press up on the cord by where it plugs in to the phone to get a charge. Really annoying. And no I am not insured. Anyone have any tips for this situation if anyone has had a similar experience? Thanks!

Thanks. I have and finished both Star wars games. They're pretty fun but a pain to grind. Have never really cared for the older titles, but for free I won't complain. It's very curious that Space is not free.
