Paid applications in Extras ?
 

There's a least one company willing to upload commercial games(paid via paypal) to Extras[1], what do you think about it ?

IMO with the price added to the package description, I can't see any problem.

I assume that means people could download it without paying, so it does rely on people being honest?

If i liked it i would pay :)

If you do a lit" version with the option to pay(in game, that is) for the full game that would not be a problem.

Personally I think this would be great, maybe we can see more games for the N900 that way :D

At the moment the paypal thing works so that you download and install the game but cannot start before you make a donation.

Well, you can download it, but you've to activate the games in order to play (in this particular case).

You would think its a bit to harsh? You would prefer to download a LITE version for free, and in-game have a button or something that you click to activate the full-game am I right?

Cheers,

VDVsx: I go agree that the customer should have a preview or something... since its coming directly from the repo. there's no way to redirect the user to a webpage or something, to show him what the game is all about... that is a problem...

Re: Paid applications in Extras ?
 

Should be no problem if the package description line mentions the price, so you know that you install something that you to pay for using.

Re: Paid applications in Extras ?
 

Well, you can do that before the paying process, opening the game page, since installing is free :D

Hummm so basically the workflow is:

- Download & Launch the App
- App Start Redirect to Game Preview Page
- User have to click on buy now button on page
- Goto payment process
- Restart the game

Not so sure about that... I think an In game button to buy or show the game website is the only way...
