Congratulations Sir, and great choice! I don't have an iPhone, but does that app work with iPod Touches? I'm considering buying due to the fact the price might hopefully drop sometime soon.

I ,in fact, downloaded it on my iPod Touch. It just feels weird because no one says "iTunes Apps", they always say iPhone.

Congratulations.  Here's to hoping you're able to restrain yourself in using it.  Too many people go nuts and run up charges that put them in deep holes and end up ruining their credit ratings.

Getting a debit card destroyed any hope I had of saving money. It's too damn easy to buy something. With my web browser remembering my details, I can purchase any game off play.com in less than 30 seconds, and in about 4 clicks.

Good choice.
 
By the way, I am proud that aside from instances in which I have absolutely had to use a credit card (like renewing my automobile registration without having to wait at the DMV for three years, ordering flowers for the woman, etc) I haven't used one in just over a year.  Feels good.
 
My advice (not that you asked, but just offering) stick with only one credit card and always pay it off as fast as possible given your situation. Every chance you get to transfer your balance to another card with a higher limit and better interest rate (and terms) do so and close your previous account. Keep doing this until you finally have a great rate and about a $10k balance (for extreme emergencies, plane tickets, etc) and stick with it.
 
Oh, and never carry a balance that is greater than 49% of your credit limit.
 
And I'm done offering advice that you probably already know.

Awesome. Look forward to contributing to the continuous rise of Giantbomb, which will soon control all of the worlds electronic devices by 2020.
 
But still, it's a nice app.

It is if you steal it. Just like anything else, really.

Now you have a credit history. You're just leaving a paper trail for the man to follow. Fucking shit cocks.
