Thanks guys turns out it was because of my south african account. All sorted now, thanx for helping out.

Hi there! I just thought I'd tell you that you are not alone. I am also a South African iPad user and when i try to download most games, I get the same error message. Could it perhaps be that we are not allowed to download the apps because of copyright issues? Is there a way to get around this? Because it is highly frustrating.

Hi there, YES, YES ! Its quite easy to around really. I am loving my new games . You have to open a second apple ID. An american one. Do it through a free app and by payment details you just click none. Good luck !

Try opening a Kenyan account , the SA credit card works and you have similar content to USA.

Just one thing to remember with multiple accounts, when you need to do an update of an app , you have to sign out and sign in with the account that made the original purchase, this gets a bit confusing when you accumulate a lot of apps.
So keep a list of apps and where you purchased.

I've also noticed some apps bought through the SA store never get updated, had to re purchase on the USA store to get bug fixes.
