No one amount lion's new additions game center promises to bring crossing. Between the Mac and IOS devices and the game library will eventually ramp up but for now is pretty slim pickings right now with seven games.
Now there have been reports that some users now lined up to date program redemption codes were not working through the App Store and will fall to see how widespread of an issue that is.

Now those sound like big numbers and they are.
But Apple fell short of Wall Street's expectations with the weakening iPhone sales from Europe and China.
And a slowdown of sales with all the speculation of a new iPhone model coming soon.
Now who could be telling people not to buy an iPhone right now.
On the flip side Apple sold a record seventeen million ipads in the quarter with Apple's tablet -- 68%. Of the market according to strategy analytics.
CEO Tim Cook also decided to give Sam boys -- -- -- orgasm during the earnings call when he said.

He's also sticking with his prediction for iPhone 5 to launch in September along with -- updates for the iPod Touch and you iPod nano.
Which is what Apple's been doing with the iPod pipeline over the past several years so there's no surprises there and he also claims the iPad mini will debut after the -- later in that same month of September.
Alright guys all -- the quick bites and Reuters has confirmed that Apple will indeed be shrinking their dock connector it's a rumor we've talked about earlier in the show.
They say the move was partially made to make space for the headset connector to be placed on the bottom.
