    look for a local friend with access to a credit card and give him ten bucks (plus tip if he needs it) to go the the american itunes store on your computer (click on the flag at the bottom of the itunes store to change the country) and try and download GTA. It will ask you to make an account, so do so. He will make his own username/password and put in his credit card. Once everything is set up, the game will begin to download or you will need to try and buy it again, I don't know which. Either way, you will end up with GTA on your computer which will sync to your iPhone or iPod. Your friend will have to put in his password if there are any updates to this game though... but there probably wont be so that is a nonissue.

    ...or you can do some research and try and find out when it is coming to your app store....

    Edit: Who cares if this is a scam. Think of it this way; either you have discovered that it is a scam and nothing really happens, or you are calling someone a liar who is just asking for help. Sure, no one is going to send him money because that would just be stupid. you can't 100% trust anything asking you for money on the internet, so why would you trust some random username on a forum. Still, this is no excuse to call someone a liar just because they don't understand the way things work...

    Also, we aren't discriminating by not giving you an iTunes giftcard. That's just stupid.

    There are starving people in the world and you come here asking random strangers for money? Money, to buy a game? You claim you are a good person, but such selfish greed makes a person pretty unworthy in my opinion. Really, be thankful for what you have and don't go around requesting something when we have no way to trust you. You've already been given lots of solutions, but from the looks of your posts, it seems like you want a hand-out.

    I gave money to starving people in Haiti this week. Aren't you even a little bit ashamed to beg for $10 that could help someone in Haiti?? Andale!

    You just bout a brand new iPhone. Take it back to the vendor and use your refund to go buy a Nintendo DS and a copy of the game.

    While I dislike the whole "starving people" argument, you make a good point. While it may seem unfair that we are able to get this game and he isn't, what he is asking for is just as unfair. His desires are not our responsibility, and him asking for us to make his problem our problem is a bit selfish. Asking for advice would be one thing, but money? I give him the benefit of the doubt in that I will believe his story until it becomes far less likely than another story (I mean who would organize any sort of scam to gain or save TEN DOLLARS!!), but, even when assuming honesty, his story is not all that much better from a moral standpoint than the alternative.

    Sure there is the argument where we (or some of us) are the Americans with so much and no perception of the hardship of living in other areas of the world weather this be the hardship of starvation or the hardship of not being a primary market for items such as this. This theory in itself is flawed in assuming that America is the best place to live in the world for everyone and that Americans are spoiled by constantly experience its greatness. That is so vein.

    This, of corse, is not even to mention the value of gaining what you have solely by the work that you put in to obtaining it. As Emmerson wrote in Self Reliance, "though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him.” Thoreau concurs, "If a plant cannot live according to its nature, it dies; and so a man." Thus, if we want to help him out of the kindness in our hearts, then good for us, but he should not expect help. Asking for money before asking for a solution in which he may have to pay or work for what he wants is ultimately what makes the act purely selfish. Even upon receiving help as he seeks it, he should feel regret that he was unable to obtain the game by his own work given that he is really as he describes himself, a "good person", but it seems as though he would simply feel dull, brief gratitude and walk away from the unnecessary charity without the slightest feelings of shame for his blatant reliance on others.

    Well, putting these extreme views aside, maybe I should get back to my essay on Transcendentalism that is due tomorrow :rolleyes:

    Are you for real?

    1. You're begging for a GAME and $10 - you sound like a kid. Go ask you parents for some money to transfer if you're so desperate.

    2. Why would ANYONE trust you with their iTunes account info? That's like giving out their personal info so you can steal it.

    3. You're degrading yourself into something I'd NEVER want to be.

    4. There are people in Haiti that are STARVING - they'd kill for $10 USD. After being hit with a 7.1 earthquake, they just got hit by another 6.0 earthquake. Do you even know how BAD that is? Picture this - after the first 7.1 earthquake, your house and your entire neighborhood would NOT EXIST. After the second, NOTHING in your CITY would exist.

    5. Just stop.

    Mods and admins excuse the language, but this guy is a ****tard.

    then thought I'd find people who trust me, and what I done to haiti 150 bottles of water 1L, which will ask for their help to buy a $ 10 game does not mean you do not have money for it, what happens is that I have friends in the U.S. and credit cards here in Mexico are not valid for U.S., try everything I suggested, but nothing worked, but anyway if I thought would help.:(
