Need For Speed & Monopoly?

So I know that it was basically JUST announced that the HD will now include these two games, but I'm wondering if anyone has cabs?
For anyone who hasn't read it yet: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3985
Alternatively, I would be more than happy to spend $10 on the Need For Speed version already available on several app sites, but it seems that version only works with hardware controls, whereas the version on the HD works with the G-Sensor.

It's always the way isn't it! You spend a truck load of money on a device and then the manufacturer comes along and makes it cheaper and better.
Oh how I curse thee early adopter syndrome!
Hopefully the legends here will be able to extract the games and cab them up. Can't see how it could be considered Warez. If the Need for Speed is as good as Xtrakt then I'm laughing. Devices this good need to have better games, and ones that make use of the g-sensor. As much as I love Uno, it's hardly impressive!

Oh yeah right, I "extract" something from a shop - how can it be considered stealing? I dont think EA (the game manufacturer) intends to share it here with all of us. Maybe Monopoly, its a trial and needs to be activated on the HD.

i think the guy means extract it from a rom when and if we get an updated rom with games in them, which would be possible, we jus gotta wait to see how they release them

freeware
it aint going to be freeware so they wont be on roms as that sort of thigs isnt allowed here. Rom cooking is tolerated by HTC and other parties but that would dry up very quickly if people started adding stuff like coreplayer mobile and non freeware games. You'll have to find a "backup" copy on torrents

If that's the case then how come an extacted copy of Xtrakt from the X1 has been permitted on here? We don't know (or at least I don't know) the details of how these games are going to be included in the newly bought HDs.
If there's something on the HTC site about it then I couldn't find it. The link from the wmpoweruser site doesn't go to any article and when I looked it wasn't a headline on the HTC site.

surely the word "Bundled" means included as in already on the phone when u get it, my prime example would be the xtrakt game that came with a xperia rom and was extracted and we can use on our device, so yes it will be possible if thats how the games were implemented.
i understand that ea dont release freeware games but if they do get released "Bundled" into a rom update theres no reason why we couldnt update to that rom so i dont see why we couldnt extract the rom and get the goods,
WE SHALL SEE,
you never know it might just be a link to the games in the box when u get the games

just beat me to it lol!

Folks, I'd be willing to bet the house that the next official ROM upgrade release from HTC for the HD will include the two games. And we all know that official ROM upgrades are free. So to me, if you own an HD, upgrading for free to a new official ROM that includes the two games, is no different than getting them here in cab form.
Now, if HTC never releases a new official ROM for the HD, then all that is moot.

Oh of course I forgot, HardSPL was made available by HTC, so you can update your ROM, and of course you can update your HD with a Xperia ROM and copyrighted software on it...nono...keep on dreaming.
I profit from updates and extracts like you guys, but I dont give myself false excuses for it. And again, the Monopoly game is just a trial on the Singapore HD. Peace.

im not making excuses im stating it how i see it, if it gets released in a updated rom then its mines MINES i tell u, if i have to pay for it i will, either way ill have the game,,,
so what about the manila update for rhodium that got bundled into a rom and extracted and now is available on our phones, so deal with it, calm down with your mr police officer act, we're all just speculating. not promoting theft

From my point of view they aren't selling it, so if we get it here for free they've not lost any revenue.
If they were to offer it for sale then that'd be different, but I'm sure they wouldn't be short of sales from us and others.
Given that we want to encourage games like this on WM it would be foolish not to buy it if we can. If we can't then we can still show that there's a demand for it.

I would most definitely be interested in acquiring those games for my HD! I hope you guys are right in your guess with them being included in the next rom update from HTC. I'm loving Xtrakt, Need 4 Speed would be the game I've been waiting for personally!
Hopefully soon!

it will be great to get these games.. i hate seeing the iphone ads on tv where they play games that utilize the g-sensor.. finally htc will utilize this utility and do it also!

I've confirmed that the version of this game currently available at Handango does NOT support the G-sensor.
So, HTC, hurry up already, will ya?!

How did you confirm. Users in other forums bought 0.1.42 version and it supports GSensor on their HD. Handago-Link: http://bit.ly/40nZhP
On top of the screen it has a button to turn GSensor on/off during play

im quite anxious...

[APP] Bejeweled 2 at $0.99 grab it before it's back to normal price!

Finally the best version of Bejeweled 2 is here for Android, this is a musts have game that needs to be in any of my phones
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eamobile.bejeweled2_na_wf

Is there any difference with Jewels that's free on the market? Trying to see why it'd be worth buying it.
Also, they both seem a little to slow, especially compared to Zoo Keeper which is one of my favorite game on the DS.

there was a time i played bejeweled all the time. but i don't think i've even started it (or the free version jewels that i've installed) during the last 6m

no, i tried all the free ones, and there is none that can compare to Bejeweled, it's simply the most addictive of them all, and the music, i love the music it's so relaxing when you are in a slow moving bank line up or in the subway waiting for the train to arrive

Don't see anything wrong with this. There's a discount at the moment, might as well share the information with the others.

Agreed, if something GOOD is cheap, share it. Just don't flood the forum with it.
Anyway, it's not showing on the market, not even the 1st one.

Need for Speed
Tetris
Soccer 2010
and some other ones were also at 99 cents
look at their prices now they are between $4 to $7
it's in no way an Advert, it's just letting others that are interested in this game to grab it for a buck
personally i wouldn't pay for anything that cost more than a $1 unless it's a really really worth software app like GPS program or Office Suite for the phone

Oh I wish somebody would have told me about this one.

Tetris is still the same original game, but they changed the original music with some funky techno version of the old music
i prefer the original music of the original Tetris

Sideloading a game sounds like the game is being pirated. There is no supported method to buy a game then sideload it in the WP7 marketplace.
The only way that this is possably legal is if the OP paid for the game, then sideloaded it but, even then it's questionable.
As I am wondering how this works, it's stil a questionable in a legal aspect, so I will not continue the discussion.
Personally, this promotes piracy (with the DFT rom you can still get achivements off downloaded Xbox live games) and this thread should be closed...if not deleted.

ok i agree with you but if you paid a game and on the other account you did'nt buy it idont think that you will buy a game twice ?

I use DFT V1, installed DFT V2 and now i am using ansar mango rom as for now but i need more time i like more ansar mango roms since in the about and on screens looks more like the original rom

In before the close. yea sounds like those games were pirated to me. while i do agree with buying games i do not like to buy apps because something better will always come along AND it might get baked into future updates.

And that makes it okay? Gtfoh, these developers bust their asses to deliver great products to us, and some of you guys believe the world should be free. It must be nice envisioning a communist society, some of you even live in one. But, considering I'm not a communist or socialist, I think the arguments to support piracy on this forum are ridiculous. I really hope those new encryption updates by Microsoft stop this BS and ban anybody's gamertag who used a stolen game.

no it's not ok but if microsoft would add a better payment system there were more app/game buyers on the Windows Phone Marketplace or how do you think ?

In fact, the payment system records what games you have bought all through. Once you would like to install it again (on same Live account), they will ask you if you would like to installed it again now as you have already paid for that.
I haven't met the double payment for the same app so far.
Even pressing "buy" still doesn't mean you have already bought and paid, instead they will ask you if you really want to pay as there is no refund for it. You may have a try.

Payment system works just fine. I've actually uninstalled and installed many apps that I've paid for. Nothing makes stealing okay.

That still is not an excuse to pirate. Most banks offer pre-paid creditcard options for this type of stuff.
Now days if you open any checking account (at least in the US) you expect to get a debit card with a Visa/Mastercard logo on it.
As I 100% agree with you, everyone thought, Xbox live=Xbox points before WP7 came out. I would like the option myself but, it should not make you pirate.
If you can afford the collection of phones that you have had or have, I am sure you can afford a $2-5 game or app here and there. If you can not, sell your smart phone and go buy a fip phone. You should not be here in the first place.

Request the GameKlip for the Captivate Glide

Ok my dear fellow users, here´s the thing, since the guys from Game Gripper aren't interest in adapting their product to our devices, I figured out it's time for a different approach, this, is the GameKlip:
This is what I've send to the guy who made this little piece of magic:
Hi, my name is Santiago Console, I’m a Captivate Glide user and an active participant of the XDA Forum dedicated to the development for this phone. A few month’s back, we gathered a bunch of request, from people who were trying to make this guys:
http://www.game-gripper.com/
Adapt their product to our phone, for some reason, they didn’t bother, even after we gather more people than the D3 Community, and that guys ended up getting it. That aside, will you be interested in adapting the GameKlip to our phone ? I can assure you, that, at least, you will sell 30 units, right after you set up the pre-order J
To know the dimensions and the shape of our phone, you can look into this page:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i927_captivate_glide-4071.php
Thanks, and I hope you can make this happen
END OF THE E-MAIL
He answered that if get's enough requests, he will make a GameKlip for the Glide and, come on, there's a lot of pros about this thing:
1) If you already have a PS3 Controller, you don't have to spend a lot of cash to play like a real Gamer on your device.
2) You can take advantage of the Glide's OTG functionality.
3) It's only a "Clip", so it's not like it's going to broke, get lost, or anything XD
So, the idea it's the same as with the GameGripper request before, so, please, If you have some time, and want to have this "Clip" available for the Glide, take a few minutes, and write an E-Mail to the creator, and tell hin that, If he makes it, you will buy it. His E-Mail is [email protected]
You can learn more about the GameKlip here:
http://thegameklip.com/

Thanks for letting me know about this, filled out a request.

I was thinking about this, maybe I can even make Rogers send it to my courrier on the US, it's there any custom taxes for sending something from Canada to US ? Because if it is, then, I would just make my courrier pick it up directly from Rogers, it would be a little more expensive, but, safest as well.
And, about the thread, keep going, Game Gripper for the Glide it's possible, we just have to make sure that people over GG know that there's a lot of customers willing to pay for this device.

I like the iControlPad personally, it has 2 analog sticks that are great to use, but will request this for you guys anyways!

Bump !!!!!

Done! How many submissions are they supposed to get before they consider doing it?

Maybe it's time to face the reality, we are not going to get the Game Gripper for the Glide, also, with MOGA around the corner, I would discourage anyone who's considering to buy the iControlPad, because, no mather how expensive the MOGA could be, It can't be very far from the iControlPad's price, also, it has better materials, and support from the big fishes like EA and Gameloft.
Farewell Game Gripper, you had your chance, and you lost it.

I think we have to wait for Gameloft to update the games for tegra 3

I had emailed them before and their response was rather disappointing. Why other games which was initially offered in low resolution 480x800 like NFS shift is ok with one x and theirs cannot, really pissed off by their marketing tactics here.
See below their response.
Dear Customer,
Thanks for contacting Gameloft's Customer Care.
I apologize for the trouble and difficulties you have encountered with the game you have purchased.
Unfortunately, your Android device is not supported. (HTC ONE X)
Our development team is constantly working to bring new games to all platforms. We do not currently have any specific information to share about release of games for your device.
Please do not try to download a game which is not for your specific phone model. Each game is built for one particular device. If your phone is not listed, it's no use trying to get another game build. It will not work and it is not meant to work.
Gameloft assumes no liability for purchaser error, trial versions, software purchased for the wrong telephone, device or platform for any reason ("Purchaser Errors").
You accept full responsibility for confirming that the phone or other device manufacturer, phone or other device model, and carrier are supported and that the phone or other device is compatible to the products or services purchased, downloaded or otherwise obtained by you through the Site.
We accept NO RETURNS on software downloads. Please read the system requirements very carefully before making any purchases.
Please accept our apologies for causing you any inconveniences.
Best wishes
*Of course it's only frustrating for people who bought the app last time. And to see some games working nicely with low res and high res adds more disappointments towards them(gameloft). Scaling is not bad, doesn't have to be with the native res of one x.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Wow what an awful reply from a developer. I suppose at least you got a reply unlike the author of jenga.
We live and learn, I also own that game, but now I won't purchase any more gameloft games if they are going to treat paying customers this way, they could have said sorry we will take a look etc, not go on about their refund policy and our responsibility to check.
Very poor form from them and a customer lost here now

Sorry about that ,didn't saw them.
Yeah i've tryed all day to make the Asphalt 6 run on my friends HOX because he had it bought on another phone and he tryed to put it in his actual HOX,but..no luck.There are many games that don't work on HOX because of the Tegra 3,let's hope the developers will update them.
As for NFS:Shift...i hate it,i don't like anything about that game,honestly,i think that it's the worst possible racing game out there.
