Title: Moving abroad, will all purchased content still be accessible?
Post by: Rob1979 on December 04, 2012, 06:41:18 PM
Hello,

I am in the UK and looking to purchase a Nexus 7 however i saw a brief post somewhere saying not to go aborad with it as the content is country specific?

I am moving to Australia mid 2013 so i dont want to purchase a Nexus if it becomes useless when i take it down under.

Can anyone cofirm this? Many thanks

Rob

Based on my experience with my N7 purchased in the US and transported to Mexico, all the content that I purchased in the US (whether downloaded to my N7 or not) is available to me in Mexico.  I cannot buy any additional content in Mexico and cannot even acquire free items from Google Play while in Mexico.
  A friend who shares files with me on Google Drive obtained a free book from Google Play and put it on my Google Drive.  After I allowed offline access to this file on my N7 (in other words I forced it to download to my N7) the free book mysteriously showed up in Google Play.

Well after asking many questions my first chance to help :)
I can confirm you can view items already downloaded. Not sure why but when in Canada I was able to access the google play and download a book but I could not do the same when in Thailand.
