    I was really considering getting a boatload before this deal came... now seeing $74.99 for 2400 donuts still seems like alot of money for a mobile game... So... idk what I am going to do...

    Stats for the british players

    Donuts / Normal price / Sale Price / Saving / Sale Price per donut
    2400 / £69.99 / £49.99 / £20 (28%) / 2.1p (2.9p normally)
    900 / £34.99 / £26.99 / £8 (22.8%) / 3p (3.9p)
    300 / £13.99 / £10.49 / £3.50 (25%) / 3.5p (4.7p)
    132 / £6.99 / £5.49 / £1.50 (21.4%) / 4.2p (5.3p)
    60 / £2.99 / £2.49 / £0.50 (16.7%) / 4.2p (5p)

    Note: if the information available is correct the squidport expansion will come with around 650 donuts worth of new premium content

    Good, now make one for swedish players :lol:

    Anyone know about how much tax is put onto a boatload want to know how much money ill have left to see if ill be able to get a boatload plus so whatever other one I can buy

    I do not believe there is tax...

    Alright I didn't think there was on digital purchases because whenever I buy a digital copy of a game I just pay the straight price but when I buy a hard copy there's tax. But ya never know it could be different with apple. But if there's no taxes I can buy two boatloads which is $150 but will only cost me $120 because of the discounted iTunes cards I got.

    That's a good deal man, a regular boatload here in Oz will set you back $110!

    They're on sale at different places you'd have to look around right now in my area Mac's milk stores have them on sale $50 for $40 and my wife has gotten coupons before that she could use anywhere that sold iTunes cards and get $10 off $50 cards

    While gazing at the donuts, I noticed that $100K in-game cash is 600 donuts.
    Why the intercourse can't we get, say, 500 donuts for $250K in-game cash?
    Just doesn't seem right.

    Already got $50 iTunes. Will try to get another $50 iTunes card and buy a boatload this weekend. Glad I waited! :)

    Bought one without question. It's a good deal. :D

    Spending 50 quid on a phone game is not a "good deal". End of story.

    Just to get confirmation, it is $66.00 American for the boatload? If so I'm all over it.

    After playing the game since October and buying small amounts of donuts occasionally I finally went for the Boat Load. Felt a little bad at the time, but as I do spend a lot of time playing the game think it is worth it. Now have many of the premium items I needed. :)

    So happy.

    If you are very frugal, a boatload can last a long time.......
