You heard it here first, folks!  There is a new Wheel game on the iOS App Store called "Wheel of Fortune: Cubed" that has an interesting take on the traditional game... The game is only 99 cents. However, after several attempts and device restarts and even a re-download, I can't get the game to load at all. There is a small Wheel icon that spins to load up the game, which freezes and then the app crashes. Maybe someone else here will be successful. |

I'm still using my 3rd Gen iTouch, and I was able to play a game as a guest before making an account. Needless to say, it crashes on me as well, but even if that problem didn't exist, it's still a pain to play. I can't drag and drop letters properly, especially to the bottom puzzles since the letter highlighted is well above the puzzle cube. I try to position the cube to put the letter in, but it springs back to its normal location. I let Sony know about these problems via the iTunes Store reviews, and hopefully they'll fix all this stuff up soon. |

While playing this game, I notice something different on a wheel. Did you know there two $300s sitting next to each other?

Yep, I know about that. The bonus Wheel layout is the same as the round 4 layout with a few changes. The Free Play wedge is a yellow $400 while the penalty wedges become $300 spaces. The Lose A Turn is a green $300 while the Bankrupt next to $650 is an orange $300. The $5000 is a silve $1000 while the Bankrupt beside it is a purple $300, thus making another layout with two wedges of the same value next to each other.

I won a free copy from Buzzerblog. Unfortunately, it's iOS only and all I have are Android phones. Anyone want a redeem code? PM me.

Hmm...idea. What if we made it a prize in WOF Live? |

Sure, but again that would only count if the person who won it has an iDevice.

Jon/cu, what do you guys think about this? I could make it as a Prize Wedge for tonight (replacing Surprise) and have it award $5,000 in game cash plus the game.

Well, you won't hear from Jon - he's on vacation, remember?
I know I'm not one of the ones you asked to hear from, but I personally LOVE that idea. Would be a nice little bonus for somebody with an iProduct.

OK. We'll do that, then. Josh, could you please record a copy about the game and PM it to me? It's a $5,000 cash bonus and the game. |

I know I'm not cu or Jon, but while I'm definitely for the idea, how would we settle payment? Buzzerblog was giving away a few copies of the app and they said they were teaming with the show. I'm looking up how to generate promo codes and, obviously, it's not something that just anybody can do--the developer has to do it for you.
If we can indeed request a promo code from the show itself, that would obviously be the best way (of course, it's no guarantee the prize is going to be won, but it can't hurt). The other way to go about it is have the winner pay for the app and someone reimburse them for the purchase, but that would take money (yes, I know, it's only 99c plus tax, but still) out of pocket for someone. Or, better still, "gift" it to the winning contestant via the App Store.
It's all well and good if someone doesn't mind ponying up the money for it, but if we could get a promo code, that would be the best option.

Read Andrew's post, Josh. He won one of Buzzer's codes, but has no iOS device to use it on, hence the offer.

After you guys finished a game, has anybody kept getting 0 cube coins in every game.
I was playing "Cube Rush" today, and I completed a game with a total of $6,400. I could of gotten 6 cube coins, instead I got nothing.

Yeah, I've been getting that too. It doesn't seem right that's for sure.

The game runs smoothly on my iPhone 4. I'm always available for games.

I'm about $70 short for getting an iTouch 4th Gen. For those who have one, is it working well on it? Even after the most recent update, I'm still having problems putting letters on the bottom rows. Does anyone else have that problem?

I have the exact same device and I can't play the game at all! After the Sony and Soap logos, it shows the small spinning Wheel, then it freezes and stutters for a bit until the app crashes and returns to the home screen. I can't even get to the proper game!  |

On the 4th Gen? Yikes! Now I really want to know why it "works" on my 3rd Gen iTouch!
