So what did everyone pick up with their N7 Play credit?

I recommend Nova Launcher.

I don't know if Gamestop N7s will come with the credit or not. If mine does, will probably spend on media.

Nova launcher is great, also picked up Widget locker from the same dev. I picked up FPSE as well, the constant updates to the app in performance make it a good purchase.

Nothing yet, but I use nova launcher on my Gnex and Nexus 7 so I may spring for the full version. After that, not sure.

Nova Prime hasn't been updated since Feb 2012, makes me wary of purchasing it. Course, I did buy ADW.Ex a long time ago on my T-bolt, and that hasn't been updated since ICS was released.

Anyone buy any magazines from Play yet?

I bought FF3, NOVA 3, Cut the Rope, and Angry Birds Space. I wish I had not purchased FF3, as I doubt I'll play it. NOVA 3 is not yet optimized for Tegra 3 and runs like crap, but the developers are working on releasing version of their games that are optimized for it.

Any other suggestions? Looking for games to show off the hardware and games that are downright good games.

Nova launcher was updated last week sometime I thought.. isn't "Nova Prime" in the market just an unlocker for the prime features on "Nova Launcher"? If so it would make sense it wouldn't be updated very often.

I haven't bought it yet so I'm just guessing since that is how Titanium and ROM manager are.

My bad, didn't look at Nova Launcher itself, the Prime could be an unlocker. Seems a bit large for an unlocker though. Its a few MBs. The unlucker for Plume is a few kilobytes.

Yeah I'm just guessing, not sure myself. If I buy it tonight I"ll find out. Maybe it just adds the features advertised which is the reason for the larger size.

Edit: I actually just looked and Nova Prime is 19k which is about right for an unlocker.

I purchased an issue of Men's Health to check out, can only report on the experience with my Galaxy Nexus and TouchPad: pretty cool. It had some "interactivity," like things to tap on for more information and what not.

I've read that some magazines are basically .jpgs of each page, which is disappointing.

edit: And yes, Nova Prime is well worth the money. :)

Most of the Kindle and Nook magazines are just PDFs of the printed versions. Should open a thread to discuss how publishers aren't leveraging the strengths of the new media.
