Just came across an even newer version of the play store.. v3.8.16. Again I've attached both the original and also a modded version that's patched to skip self-update and remove device restrictions(Vending-3.8.16.noupdate.nosig-aligned). Enjoy..

Older versions..

There's a new version of the play store I just came across..v3.8.15!! Personally after playing with it I'm not exactly sure what is different but I read up that google is gearing up to introduce Play Store Gift Cards and a Wishlist to the Play Store.. Here are a few screenshots, from Mathias Tillman and Shen Ye, that show evidence of it.. Download it below. Installs like any other apk. I've also attached a modded version that's patched to skip self-update and remove device restrictions(Vending-3.8.15.noupdate.norestrictions.apk). Enjoy..
