Does that worth in any context ever? "Hey, Woolies, I bought this three months ago - you've got a sale now on the same item. Money back please!"
Actually, it does! Supercheap Auto run a whole promotion about this - "if you find it cheaper round the corner, we'll give you a voucher of the difference" or something like that.

But not if you find it cheaper at SuperCheap later. ;)

You can download games to your phone/tablet to watch later. However whenever I did this last year there were syncing issues between video/audio which got worse as the game went on making it unwatchable.

Random question

So have just purchased a brand new smart TV - is there a gamepass app I can download so I can just watch straight on the TV without having to hook up my laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable?

On the smartphone app, there should be a download icon on the right hand side of each match in the 'Games' menu.
That seemed to be only for the iPhone/iPad Game Pass app from what I could tell when I used it last season because I had the option to download the games on my iPad but the option wasn't there on my Android phone.

Anyone know what the go is with Xbox this year? Is it integrated?
Xbox One should be live in the next couple of days according to the latest info I have from Microsoft. Xbox 360 doesn't have gamepass and Microsoft are releasing that sometime in the next few weeks I believe.

Note: Microsoft build these apps themselves and we provide the content, but that's the latest info I have.

Yep just uninstalled and re installed. No download feature
Will check this out for you.

Edit: Confirmed that this isn't available in the Android version of GamePass International. Only on iOS unfortunately. Not sure why (before my time) but could be a number of technical factors behind that decision. Apologies.

No. GP is/will be available on Apple TV, Xbox One, PS4, and Roku, in addition to the usual desktop, mobile and tablet.

Unfortunately TV manufacturers keep changing the operating systems on Smart TV's so it makes it difficult to support these platforms (even NetFlix and Hulu don't support all of them). Hopefully Android TV or another O/S captures market share in future and this becomes a stable platform so we can build apps for that platform. Amazon looks like they're headed that way so it'll be easier.

Hey Sparkyblue, any update on the ps4 app. Hoping It'll be up in time to watch the Patriots take down the Steelers on Friday.

Interesting. I don't have any issues with the International Version of the AFL app but it wasn't built by the same dudes who built the AFL domestic app.

Not sure if BigPond built that app, but I know the guys at AFL Digital Media who are a pretty capable crew and have a good setup @ Etihad.

Re: GamePass - That download function may still make it into the Android app this season if we bring dev back in-house earlier than scheduled (next season). It may also be available in the NFL Mobile app as well as we're looking at adding that function.
