    I'm pretty sure no store in the country is dumb-enough to let you put STORE CREDIT on a prepaid gift-card. That's pretty standard policy.

    i just traded in my mint condition old iphone 4 16gb to gamestop for $250 store credit

    hell of a deal

    What the blue blazes!? That's a good $70 more than I got a year ago and I was told it was the most they were authorized to pay for it. It had the earbuds, charge/sync cable, wall unit and the entire box with manual all in excellent condition!

    Are you sure it wasn't a 4S or something?

    edit: Wait a sec. I got cash money, not store credit. Still, seems like more than I was offered.

    i got a base store credit of about $197 and some sort of value bonus for buying Madden in the same transaction, which brought it to $254

    So in essence I got $200 and a free copy of madden

    and yes it was just a 4. the box/cables are worth nothing to them. they give you like one extra dollar


    you can't put store credit on a mastercard. if you got cash it would have only been about $140, with no madden offer, i think

    Tempted to pick up a Nexus 7

    iOS still has me by the balls with how much of my day to day workflows are tied to it now, but having an Android tablet to play around with and get more experienced with isn't the worst thing.

    But I was definitely impressed with the N4's hardware, and the screen. Configuring it for the coworker was a snap thanks to GApps for Business's rudimentary MDM stuff, and adding the Meraki MDM stuff was just as easy.

    Only sticking point about the N4 is the pretty wimpy storage. 16GB is not that much these days.

    The Nexus 7 is most definitely not going to feel anywhere near as nice as the N4, from a materials standpoint

    But it is real good stuff inside/screenwise

    So the Terraria iOS port seems pretty neat. Anyone know if there's a way to have saved stuff sync between an iPhone and iPad with it?

    It doesn't seem to support cloud saves yet

    You have to build a really tall tower before you can cloud save

    unless something is crazy crazy different in the states no

    phone number is tied to either your SIM card, or the serial number (in the case of CDMA phones)

    so you can just wipe it and the network will still know who you are

    you can't put store credit on a mastercard. if you got cash it would have only been about $140, with no madden offer, i think

    This link says my 4S if mint is worth $90 so I think you held up a Gamestop and I'm calling the cops.

    Verizon actually. Damn, why are AT&T phones worth so much more?

    GSM (like AT&T and T-Mobile) phones can be unlocked to work on other carriers and internationally. Sprint and Verizon are CDMA so the service is built into the device instead of the SIM card. It makes it very difficult to unlock them. They're basically locked to the original carrier cutting down their resale value.

    If you want to that would be great. I've had my iPhone 4 for 3 years and want something new. Everything i've read on the htc has been positive so i'm thinking about going down friday and buying one.

    Pictures of the next Nexus device leak as part of the Android 4.4 (KitKat, ugh) statue video. Whoops!

    Based on the fact that it's A) larger and B) still made by LG, I'd say it's pretty much a rebadge of the LG G2.

    I'd never use one as a primary machine, but it'd probably be a passable couch computer if you want something cheaper than a tablet + keyboard.

    There is a new kindle paper white out.

    Not much difference, vaguely lighter, faster processor, sharper screen (!) and they have apparently improved the light distribution and accuracy of the touch screen.
