monkey55 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hmm rather than blaming apple you have to realise the logistics of opening up a individual stores for each european country, and all the banking, server, music specific problems they raise. Apple want a single Pan-europe store but that doesn't work for the record labels they prefer keeping countries seperate (i guess it gives them local price controls). umes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Awesome, but one thing that bugs me... there's seems to be '4 different stores'. Thanks to a mate i've been nabbing the Free songs from the US Store, in the last few weeks, but now it won't let me do so, logged into MY account, it tells me I am in the wrong store. Seems a bit of a letdown we're not getting free songs, too, further-more i've not seen much in the UK store thats any different. It seems kinda empty by contrast, i mean, sure the same 700,000 tracks are probably avaliable, but after all the work that has gone on, where's the content that fills the british market. We don't JUST listen to American music. I can appreciate today is the opening day, but still, i expected alot of content, which derives from our shores... :( One step @ a time, i guess...

mark03 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I have a Visa Electron. Amazon accept it, but a LOT of sites don't. I just wanted to know if I can use my Electron. I think it's the only debit card I can use until i'm 18 (only 17 at the mo.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the only debit card I can use until i'm 18 (only 17 at the mo.) Only Visa, Mastercard, Switch and Solo are listed on the payment page... but Visa Electron might be included under Visa but I doubt it. I got a Solo card automatically when I was 16 (from HSBC) and it was upgraded to Switch when I changed to a student account last year when I was 18.
