I buy episodes on my iPad all the time, it's only like $2 or $3. I don't have cable, but a subscription costs way more than the money I spend on the couple of shows I give a shit about.

Now that every major platform has subscription services for music (iOS through 3rd party apps, lol Apple), video and music purchases are the same thing. You can stream 99% of what you want, and buy the 1% things you love. I can think of a few reasons to buy shows/movies digitally; travel, offline access, convenience, or it's something you know you will want to watch multiple times.
Not true. The accessories are Android compatible!

The packaging is so much better than the crap we get here in the US.
Enjoy! Welcome to the master race of smartphone cameras. You will never look at phone photography the same way ever again.
Awesome.
Yeah, the US packaging is terrible. Glad Canada gets the nice packaging, however we miss several of the Lumia's. I guess we get the ones that matter though eventually.
After turning off automatic SkyDrive backups for photos, does manually uploading save the "good" or "best" quality version of the photo? I only have a 928, so I don't have to worry about the larger pictures from the 1020.
edit:
looks like it's the best version from my little test.

Uh... okay?
Stop getting my hopes up with your stupidity, Rockstar!

Yeah, speaking of games, where is the Rayman sequel for Windows Mobile?
:-(
Rayman Jungle Run is stunningly good. It really did a lot to make me realize that Gaming side's hate for phone games is as misplaced as most of their hate is. Of course some games will need a controller, but good game design is universal and I love having this game in my pocket.
Edit: LOL, half the SA thread in Gaming is banned for port begging. We'll be gone too now that we've talked Rayman!
There are safe bubbles on Gaf. I think this is one of them
Prettty sure the Rayman sequel was at least announced though.

I played the shit out of vice city on an iPad mini and didn't think it was gimped. The touch screen controls are about as good you're going to get and work fine. I even beat the flying rc plane mission on my first try.
I doubt it will be fun playing on a phone though. A tablet gives you more room for controls.
I'm not port begging, but it is disappointing that rockstar hasn't released these GTA games on 360/ps3. It's like how Sega only released Chu Chu Rocket for mobile platforms.

This is definitely a safe place, the regulars here, including me, only get banned when they step out to other threads. Probably because there is little to no mod interest in the platform, plus we don't pm mods when we get trolled. I remember that one mod bought a windows phone and didn't like it.
Pretty sure both Bish and ThoseDeafMutes own Windows Phones. Bish was in the Instagram thread.
Also, does anyone own a 1520 yet? Any feedback on the software and Storyteller? It comes with the updated Glance Screen, right?
"No Vita??????"

Half of the posts in this thread. : P
Where is my instagram? Snapchat? Vine? oh and that banking app by my local bank that 5 people are using. (Seriously the last one is actually the most annoying part about being on platform with low support).
Have you seen Titanfall
When a game isn't on your platform of choice and you spam the thread with whining about it.
Basically, this thread ;-)

OK. Found the thread and see what you mean. Some of the things that are bannable here are real head scratchers..

I have a Moga pad and love playing console ports on my 8" android tablet. Sega has great mobile games that work amazing on the Moga; Virtual Tennis, Crazy Taxi, and Jet Set Radio.
San Andreas is great news but there's too many questions about the RT and Phone OS merging that gives me doubts investing in WP games. Perhaps Rockstar is confused too hence the "Windows Mobile" remark.

Pssssh...
I'm gonna pull a flippedb and call you a caveman!
I think this one is simply based on the amount of threads being shit up by whiners. Don't think it would've been bannable if not for bad past experiences.

Iirc, the graphics stack is virtually the same. Both support the same middleware engines as well.
Part of the windows mobile might mean that 512 devices can't run it. Or maybe you're right and they confused RT and phone.

same stack and engines, sure but MS is billing separately now for the same app in Phone and RT. How will this sort out with the merger? If MS makes me rebuy apps I may leave the platform for good.
gaming had such momentum with WP7 (weekly releases) but has since went to shit with WP8. Moga support was announced many months ago but yet only that Drift Mania game supports it.
All signs seem to point to WP OS expanding and taking over for Wrt, so I wouldn't worry about phone purchases. If MS did decide to screw over WP8 users like that, I'd probably drop the platform for good.

sure all signs point to that but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Its a shame we can't just ride this one out until 8.1.
I know MS can be dumb but I doubt they would ignore the install base of WP versus RT.

Held the 1520 today for the first time. It's absurdly huge. The screen is incredibly gorgeous, and the home screen comes alive with that many live tiles. It just looked incredible and I could see myself adjusting to a huge beast like that if WP Blue addressed some of the issues. Strike 1: aside from the home screen, there isn't much software taking advantage of the crazy amount of real estate. Strike 2: Nothing seemed generationally quicker or smoother than the processor in my 1020. Strike 3: the camera, while awesome, is not in the same class as the 1020 shooter. Nothing else is, which is why I would still buy the 1020 over any other phone today.

We can. Buy Sell Trade thread has 21k+ posts.
I think the database can handle it now.

was the camera at least faster than the 1020?
Oh. Well, so far, MS isn't treating us well in this regard. :/
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Was more testing the zoom in the short time I had it, but the camera didn't feel any faster, tbh.
Which is so weird as you'd think with the Snapdragon 800 it would be instant. I still can't wait to see the 1020 successor.

Probably OS is not 100% optimized yet.
