Download: Google Play APK
Some have reported the download is producing a .zip rather than an .apk. This issue seems to be happening while downloading it with your device instead of on a PC. If your download comes out as a zip file, simple rename the .zip to .apk. Alternatively, you can just download it on your PC and transfer it to your device.

You don’t even need to download the apk. I just updated my nook right now. just simply clicking market accept, exit out of market and enter back in, it will change and update it.
looks the very same just a new icon….
It already updated on my phone. Last night around 10 p.m.
F this, old market till the end!! or atleast till it updates itself
This is gayyy
You could always freeze the market updater so it never updates.
I turned on my Motorola Milestone X2 this morning and there it was, Google Play! I actually like it. But, I usually don’t have too much trouble adapting to change.
Good. Cause Android is forever changing and evolving. It is to be expected. Glad you are liking it. I think the real benefit will be in the long term, not just the rebrand on our devices.

I didn’t know what it was so I deleted it. Now I can’t get the Market or Google Play. Frustrating. The download link above is no longer available.
The newest version here – http://androidspin.com/2012/03/16/download-google-play-store-updating-yet-again/ – is still up. Give that one a shot and let us know.
