iPhone - Doom

Post by Arillis »

Hi all.
Have not been here for a while.....so I don't know if this has been
posted before.
Can someone tell me where to get Doom for my iPhone.
You find it on iTunes on the US site, but here in SA the iTunes store does not have it.

Can anybody suggest anything...PLEASE!

Thanks

I love Doom Resurrection on my iPod Touch ;)

I'm on the US App store, without a US credit card.

I use PayPal to buy iTunes Gift Certificates on eBay, and then they email me the code for the voucher, and I redeem it that way^^.

So I can use iTunes to buy everything from Music to Videos to Apps.

Hi

I see on the net this morning that ID Software are releasing more titles for the iPhone.
Wolfenstein 3D,(old classic), Wolfenstein RPG, Quake II, Quake Arena plus more.
So I'm getting very pi$$ed off right now, 'cause there will be no way these games will be getting here any time soon.
John Carmack (ID Software) said he is actively also working on bringing the new Rage game to the iPhone.
$hit, I have to make a plan.
M1ke please tell me which paypal site are you going through to get the vouchers.
Also, how do you get passed the account creation on the american site in iTunes, with out having to enter credit card details?
I have tried that to but it keeps telling me that I cant create the account without the credit card info!

Please be a bit more specific....

Thanks

@Arillis,

Here we go:

1. Change to the US iTunes Store (go to the iTunes store in iTunes, and scroll to the BOTTOM, there you can change your country).

2. Browse to the applications section (or App Store).

3. "Purchase" a free application for your iPhone / iPod Touch

4. Create a new iTunes account, and under payment option, select "None".

5. There you go - US iTunes store without US credit card.

6. *Optional* I use Ebay (http://www.ebay.com) to buy iTunes gift certificates. Ebay DOES NOT allow non-US credit cards, so simply create a PayPal, which Ebay owns, account (http://www.paypal.com).

7. Add your credit card to PayPal, get it verified (just follow the steps by them).

8. Bid / Buy Now iTunes gift certificates and ask the sellers to email you the code.

That's it!

PS: It's not too difficult, and the effort is without a doubt worth it.

No problemo ;)

It serves copyright holders right for not allowing us to use iTunes in RSA.
