About a month ago, I griped about the absurdity of being unable to remove games from my iTunes shopping cart. Well, the other day I fired up my iTunes and was prompted to buy the very game I wanted, so I thought maybe the problem had been resolved.

No dice. The same error message appeared. However, I noticed on the product page that there was a gifting function. Aha! A workaround! I’ll gift the game to myself then simply redeem the iTunes code. In no time I’ll have the game I want on my shiny new iPod.

The plan seemed foolproof … until I tried to redeem my code and got an error message: “This code has already been used.” Really? Not by me, it hasn’t

Wow. I can’t believe I’m alone in this sort of maze of aggravation and general inability to purchase something. Imagine Apple’s stock price if people could actually buy stuff when they wanted!
