It's already been a year since the Android Market was [renamed Google Play](http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/google-play-replaces-android-market/), and the folks in Mountain View are offering up a boatload of free party favors throughout the week to celebrate. Technically, the store's birthday is March 6th (yes, it's a Pisces), but [Page and Co.](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Google/) have already begun serving up free music downloads, in-game content, TV shows, books, discounts and more. Though the selections vary by country, folks in the US can currently pick up a free tune from LCD Soundsystem, $20 in free gift cards through [Gyft](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/12/gyft-now-on-android/) and a gratis download of Breaking Bad's pilot episode among other things. Hit the bordering source link to partake in the festivities or head past the jump to catch a video of how some games on the digital storefront are celebrating the occasion.
