Hi
I have read the other thread about 3's policy for not allowing open internet access, and called them to query it. What they told me is that they offer a service where I would be allowed to download games from your site by activating a subscription service with themselves.
Basically how they said it would work is this: I activate this service with 3, for either £2.50 per month/5 MB or £5.00 per month/15mb (if I remember the figures correctly). Then if I order a game from this site (and I quoted the site address to them to check it) as long as the game is within my limit of 5 or 15MB then I won't be charged the £3.99 for it, as it will be covered by the subscription charge I signed up for with 3.
I got the phone operator to check this to make sure it was correct and it was. It seems odd to me though, if a game was under 5MB then I effectivley wouldn't be paying the full £3.99 for it, and 3 would have to pay that cost for me.
I just wanted to check to see if this service from 3 would work with your site, as it seems a bit suspect to me, and I want to be sure it will be ok before I download any games. Damn them and their idiot policy! Some moron probably gets paid ten times as much as any of us to think up nonsense policies like this one :D
Also, is there anywhere I can find out the size in MB of any game? It was Air Strike 1944 for the Sony Ericsson K800i that I was interested in.
Thanks
Gary
