Music Player worth $500 for your Windows Phone 8?

I don't think anyone can actually purchase it "accidentally". Just one click / tap over the "buy" button won't buy you the app. AFAIK, I have to pass at least two pages from my bank even if I use the Wallet app. First one to enter my bank PIN and second one to verify my password.

I am not sure if WP forces you to secure your purchases using the wallet app, but you could still accidentally buy it, whatever the reasons. It could be your child hammering the phone, you being drunk etc.

Luckily WP store shows you only the apps and games supported by your phone if signed-in.

Actually Google Play does that as well but apparently Electronic A... the big game publisher couldn't be bothered to actually properly set this in the store, there were (later) a lot of complaints from people that had the same issue.
Also, WP Marketplace (currently) has it a lot easier as the number of screen resolutions (4, I think) and RAM limitations (3, iirc) is rather low compared to android where there's tons of different resolutions, chipsets and memory.

Didn't know google play does the same. Left it long ago when it was really badly managed. Yeah that's true Google Play has got a lot of variations in games and apps due to a number of OEMs, much ram differences and screen resolutions. WP store is monetized more easily but it's also got very less filters as compared to the former.
