Could this 20 pound credit be used to buy some hardware from google play ?

The £20 credit is only for movies right?
I'd want regular play credit to buy TomTom App for a year

Play credit can be used for anything, I thought it was movies only but added it to my account and purchased apps and in game rewards

Where has the £17.50 price come from?

When you open the chromecast app (assuming you are using an android device) there will be a banner which you click. This will then apply the credit to your account.

Can you use the Google play reward for things other than movies?

Just so everyone aware; i ordered one on last Wuaki deal over 3 weeks ago and still haven't received it! (Im not the only one!) So wouldn't count on having it before the google credit deal expires and certainly don't bank on it for Christmas pressies.

Anyone know how reliable the screen casting on these is? I have a fire stick, which I love but it the screen casting feature drops connection quite a bit

Very good on my device (Htc One M8). Use it to cast Amazon Prime Video to my TV and it works absolutely fine. Can drain battery though because the screen has to stay on (its mirrored). If you dont have Netflix or buy into Play's ecosystem the fire stick might arguably be a better device. However, I got mine for £20 and its one of the best purchases I've ever made. Use it every day; cast BT sport off it, iplayer, 4od, netflix. I would say if you are wanting to cast mirror your screen, the chromecast is an EXCELLENT option.

I ordered during the Mission Impossible offer; with the Chromecast 2 being delivered on Monday.
So with £20 Google Play Credit, Mission Impossible movie, another free movie via Google Movies, 2 Months Free Movie Package on NowTV, 3 Months Free Spotify and 3 Months Free Google Music...(all can be cancelled after free trial period) for only £19.99 not a bad offer at all!

Why would u want to get it from here and wait up to 3 weeks when a lot of other places r doing it for same price and u will probably get it quicker

Mine arrived after a week and you get a free movie (currently selling for £7.99 on Google Play) to watch/keep as soon as you purchase. But if you are in a hurry it would make more sense to buy from a shop

Mine with rogue nation took a week, used a few times now and must say it's much better than the v1

What's better, a roku 3 or chromecast?

I would say the devices are different (and in my opinion roku people hate chromecast as it steals a good portion of what would have been their sales).
Roku 3 (I will presume you are not talking about the roku stick which I would definitely say is not worth the money) is a box so it needs to sit next to your tv and can't just "hang" from it, there is an upside of this - you get more ports and better internals.
Roku is designed as an all reound media player while chromecast is a streaming device. What this means is that Roku will support more file type's and be far more willing/able to access your local network shares. (You can achieve a similar thing with chromecast but it won't work without internet, even for the local content).
All in all if you are interested in streaming youtube, netflix, itv, play movies, etc there is no reason to pay more for a roku. If you are interested in viewing your local content (from a USB stick or a personal cloud/ NAS) then go for Roku.
Also bear in mind Roku doesn't really have a lot of software going for it, what you see is roughly what you get, while massive popularity of the chromecast has sprawned a decent number of apps supporting it, so you can say cast a website or an image or a game to the tv from your phone which you most likely can't do with a roku.
Basically it is not a black and white situation.

When you download the Chromecast app on your device; phone, tablet, computer, then install the Chromecast to your t.v. You just need to hit the link and the money is then put in your Google play account.

Am I supposed to go to that website from the chromecast app or something?
Also, can the £20 movie credit be spent on other Google Play stuff like apps/music?
Jokes aside, heat added
