To anyone, if you are earning at least RM1500 everymonth through Google or any other methods on the internet, just show the bank that you have income through your Bank Statement.
It’s good enough to apply for a classic card.
Don’t need to register any company name or whatsoever!

Just for your knowledge, your income through internet WON’T BE taxed. This rule came year 2004.

I bought Sims 2 via gamers.com.my. Everything’s fine, but the payment method is abit difficult for youngsters like me, esp it need parents’s “power” to sign the cheque or credit card numb.

Mr liew, i never bought games online. I’ve bought e-book online, and yes usually they give you a random link and the user is only permitted download “attempt” for only 4 times, and after that the link is no longer valid.

Usually they’ll tell you in the email/receipt not to do parallel download as most Download Manager did. But IMHO, using Download manager is ok, as long you dont try to open more that one connection simulataneously.

Divogames.AstroAvenger.v.1.5.3.Retail-ZWT
Try search for it, it’s out there.

Although the latest version is 1.5.5, but I think the 1.5.3 is still playable

good lesson there, about not using download manager. thanks lcf.

hey, you wrongly use ‘credit card’ in your post instead of ‘debit card’ that’s why some of the members here get confused, i think.

see 3rd paragraph? you wrote “PB visa electron credit card” when it should be “PB visa electron debit card”.

yes wong, visa electron card is like reload card. anyone, even those not working can apply for it. as you said, with just RM50, one can apply for it already. my 18 years old nephew also uses it. i love using it too.

Aiks, what you said is true.
Never use download managers for purchased software.
Some payment processors such as DigitalRiver has file hosting for companies such as Symantec.
If you buy Norton Antivirus, you’ll get to download it immediately after you pay and they limit your downloads to 1-3 times if I’m not mistaken.
To maintain your download times, you can “PURCHASE” the extra download times. Ridiculous isn’t it?

LcF, may I know which game was it you purchased from Divo Games?
I can find retail versions for most of the games from them

Hey LCF this is a little off subject but:

I’m a long time reader of your blog. I know you may have posted about this earlier, but I was wondering about your page rank?

It used to be 6 or 7 didn’t it? I was wondering if you know why this happened?

Oh, by the way what site did you try to download from?

Those who have income tax slip can apply for RM50 for lifetime la… Electron Visa Card? My friend applie dit when he was 17 le… LOL! Those are like reload card right? You spend how much you have in the card…

About the game download thing… Send back the receipt and ask for it then, since they have stop your download.
