I was just sitting on the bog at work, bored. So I got my phone out and looked at the games. There was an option that said "Download new games", so I did it.

The first thing that popped up said:

"Buy Tony Hawks for your Nokia phone for £5, and be entered into a draw to win a PS2. No purchase necessary, terms and conditions apply."

Excuse me? No purchase necessary!? I have to buy Tony Hawks for my mobile, costing me five whole English pounds. No f####ng purchase necessary my backside!

I like the ones on the inside of bottle labels.

"No purchase necessary."

Except to read that, you need to take the label off. Which usually means you need to buy the bottle, or risk getting nabbed by a store detective or CCTV camera and charged with damaging their stock.

£7.50 per mb doesn't sound cheap to me...

OUCH. That is an *appaling* amount to charge. I am amazed.

Hmmm, usually if they state no purchase neccesary, there is a way of entering the draw without doing so.

I always imagine you send a SAE to the comapany in question (which isusually the case), they just bin it, muttering "cheapskates" (*BadaBUM*, skates, get it?)

I got a new phone recently and decided I needed to download some games for it, so I downloaded Tomb Raider at a cost of £5. Only when I got my contract through did it tell me that it costs £7.50 per Mb to download stuff.

I can't remember how big the game was, but I think it could well have been in the region of 8Mb. I think I'm broke.
