You can only find these offers via the Website (for both SL and PL), it's always been like that. Don't ask me why though :)

you see the plat offers range from 30-800 plat on a mobile device but the 2k plat is only available through the internet? why?
well personally, i prefer buying via a device as it guarantees that i receive the plat immediately after i buy it. so yea... i hope the devs can make the 2k available via mobile devices!

We don't offer all purchase options on all platforms because of different service issues.

It probably, as Sam already hinted, has something to do with the platform's therms of service. Maybe Apple doesn't allow such a high amount to be bought in game.

For me, plat comes faster via WebStore.

Instant!

Via device it has sometimes taken two app restarts before it showed up for me. For others it has taken longer, based on what I've seen posted re: plat in recent months.

I've bought plat from both android and Spacetime website and the plat has appeared in a matter if minutes or less from both places.

Never tried from an idevice since I don't own one.

Hope it works out for you.

If it helps, I have purchased the big plat pack a couple of times, and received instantly. I ordered using a pc because I saw the warning in the plat store mentioning that to order via mobile devices may take longer. Also if it maters I used the google checkout.
Never a prob! Cheers

Did they change the deals? I'm pretty sure I only got 1800 plat for 89.99.

I started out purchasing Plat on my Ipod Touch, until I saw the 2000 Plat for $89 US on my Android. It really is much more worth it imo.

make it an even $100, for total of 2,500 plat....that would be sweet :)

When people see $100 it is unappealing to them due ti triple digits.

Keeping it in the double digits has a higher chance of people buying it because it is more appealing to the eyes and your subconsciousness

So I doubt STS will bring it up to the $100

Yep, same. I started by purchasing initially via Apple In-App purchase but quickly changed to buy direct from STS via their web store. I always use PC/MAC as delays reported using mobile devices.

30% goes to Apple else, and they already get my money for other shiny stuff, I choose to give STS the total price payed for plat (minus the bank fees of course) and go direct.

I didn't know that but it doesn't surprise one bit. I have never agreed with Apple's ways. From a Company Point of View it is very brilliant, they make money bottom line. From a User Point of View, They are way too restricted for my personal every day use. LoL just one more thing I can say I dont respect about Apple.
