First you see "You are about to purchase"

Then you see a "payment processed successfully"

This is done with the OUYA framework and it is very obvious that you will be making a purchase.

edit: However there are now subscription model, which I have no idea how it works

[Eldon.McGuinness]

Free to Try means a gamer can download your game for free from DISCOVER. You can still have purchases within the game as normal. You can also still have a Promoted Product to allow gamers to purchase your game from the Game Details Page or System Menu.
Selecting No means a user must purchase your game in order to download it. You must set up a Promoted Product that is a full game unlock. We highly recommend you check for this entitlement when your game launches to ensure a gamer has purchased it. Additional purchases are still allowed with this configuration."


In-App Purchases:
Select "Yes" if your game has any in-game purchases after the initial purchase price, including donations. "No" should be selected only if the user cannot make any payments from within your game (after the initial purchase of the game).

Just to muddy the waters a bit more, the exact meaning of in-app purchases can vary based on what the dev chooses upon submission of their application. Some choose to flag in-app purchases as only purchases of consumable goods, ala Meltdown, while others will use that flag to indicate the app is not a free app. I believe BootyCall shows up without the in-app purchase but does have a purchase option. (this is the way the recommend pay apps to be shown BTW.)

There really should be a better explanation of the purchasable items in the store, something like the following:
Free (Free)
Free with in-app purchases (Free $+)
Demo (Demo)
Demo with in-app purchases (Demo $+)
Premium ($)
Premium with in-app purchases ($+)

*in all cases in-app purchases should only refer to consumables or extra items/modes that can be unlocked by paying. They should have no bearing on the actual game play of the core game itself (Again, think of how Meltdown does it).

Hi
Thanks again for the continued support. Can I ask,how does one set a Pin Code ?.I cant see any options to do so?

I don't mind downloading apps which may require in app purchases,it would be better if they were more clearer to what may be available and why they are required

Thank again
