Oh, FFS...

I thought I'd try the new iPhone Animal Crossing game, so I downloaded it from the App Store this morning.

This afternoon, I tried playing it, and they've done the same bloody thing that they did with the Mario game: tiny App Store download then as soon as you open it it wants to do a 100MB download of the actual game. And it's really bad at actually managing the download, even if you ignore the box that pops up every five minutes suggesting that you move to somewhere with a better mobile signal.

Four hours later, I'd managed to get a third of it in (I know we have bad internet, but if we can stream video then you'd think that it would be good enough), so I gave up and drove to the pub and back.

Five minutes later, I've just finished the tutorial and... it wants another 100MB download.

Argh. Why is Apple letting them do this? It would have taken about fifteen minutes to get the whole thing if it was just done as a single App Store download!

Guess I'm going back to the pub. If it weren't for the fact that I'll have to turn around and drive straight back, I'd be tempted to pop in for a stiff drink!
