OK, this is odd.. my wife's transformer is showing up (like normal), but my phone isn't grr. Can't buy it if I can't select a device :-( I wouldn't have minded buying a cheap film from the market tonight as well.
 
and wait.. they are not 49p... they added tax so 58p. EDIT: Actually.. it only charged me tax if I bought a game through my phone. If I did it on google play it was still 49p. ALSO.. its only 49 cents in the USA grr.

I didn't get taxed but I only grabbed World of Goo & Shadowgun. 49p each paid for through my phone.

Weird... I bought shadowgun through my phone and got taxed lol. teething issues me thinks! Shame I can't play the THD version.. as it's only for Tegra 3 not tegra 2 apparently :-(

Actually, thinking about it, it was Dead Space that I got charged the tax on. d'oh.

If you have a Galaxy S2 a lot of the EA games like Dead Space are free on the Samsung Market :)

Seems EA are the ones taxing then.
 
Grabbed the 3 puzzle games, world of goo, sprinkle and osmos. Only sprinkle required VAT.

I think it's based on the location of the developer as to whether there is VAT. Anywhere other then the UK, then it's below the VAT threshold for imports.

Shadowgun, Nova 2 and Dead Space worth it? I know Shadowgun is supposed to have amazing graphics on ipad 2 and tegra 3 devices.

Shadowgun graphics seemed really nice on my SGS2 and HP touchpad.

LG tegra 2 based phone.. so I get some Tegra stuff free, but google play was cheaper in this instance.
