Games Are For Boys, While Ringtones Are For Girls

Men, or should it be boys, are far more likely to download games: 58 per cent of people who have downloaded a game in the last three months are men. But women make up the majority of ringtones downloaded - they are responsible for just over half of the 5.9m ringtones downloaded."<br /><br />I found this a little interesting. As I would never purchase a ringtone. I would prefer to make my own. As for games... I have a few. :wink: I think this would make a good poll, What was your first purchase, a game, or a ringtone?

I've never purchased a ringtone in my life and I can't see that I ever will. I really don't understand why someone would pay for something that's freely and legally available all over the internet (my current ringtones are all sounds of Foghorn (I say) Foghorn Leghorn :-D )

Great link! The sound quality is very good. I was expecting some crappy sounding recording, but those are very nice. Cool. Time to update my sounds.
