"Enjoy yourself up" makes less sense to me than "Google Play" =P
Play implies a focus on music, movies, and especially games. You *read* a
book, you don't play a book. You *use* an app, you don't play an app.

Not to mention that this app, store, site, center, whatever, is supposed to
be a *thing* (the app) or a *destination* / *place* (the site). Naming it
after a verb is just awkward and nonsensical. Particularly when the name
implies that the app / site is some kind of media center that plays all of
this different content, when it's not - it's a store to *get* content NOT *
play* it.

And now they're trying to shoehorn "Play" into their promotions: "Play
$0.49 Apps" ... "Play the Hunger Games" followed immediately by "Read the
books..."

Seriously, who comes up with this sh*t?
