Google Play was introduced in March 2012 When Google rebranded its predecessor Android Market and Google Music services, an all-encompassing brand that also integrates Google Music and Google eBook Store. The Google Play service is accessible from the web, mobile app Play Store on Android and Google TV.

With Google Play you can:
  • Store up to 20,000 songs for free and buy millions of new tracks
  • Download more than 450,000 Android apps and games
  • Browse the world’s largest selection of eBooks
  • Rent thousands of your favorite movies, including new releases and HD titles

Google Play will be offering a different album, book, video rental and Android app at a special price each day for the next week in our “7 Days to Play” sale. In the U.S., today’s titles include the collection of top 40 hits Now That's What I Call Music 41, the popular game Where's My Water, the novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and the movie Puncture for just 25 cents each.
