The Android Market might seem to be a distant memory to many of us by now, considering how Google decided to slap a new name over it, calling the Android Market, Google Play. Well, how time flies when you are having fun, and with Google Play debuting one year ago tomorrow, you know for sure that a birthday is always a time to celebrate. For those of you who are living in areas where it is Wednesday, you might be interested to know that Google Play has introduced price slashes across a wide range of apps, movies, and books.
Nice to see the “birthday boy”, so to speak, be the one giving out presents, instead of the other way around. Some of the apps were being sold at a 50% discount, and chances are Google might just expand the sales list over the coming few days. Of course, if you happen to be a voracious reader, you can also check out selected books that retail for $5 tops, while there is also a slew of movies that are going for $5 a pop, or $1 if you want to rent them. Bear in mind that the prices quoted here are in Australian dollars, and as the nature of their currency rates are nearly the same at this point in time, it could cost the equivalent in dollars, too.
