Glitch in the iTunes Store Allows Free Purchases

My iTunes account, containing about four dollars of store credit, is hooked up to an empty Visa gift card. After spending all but about twenty cents of my store credit, I decided I might as well try to buy something else, expecting for iTunes to give me an error. To my surprise, it didn’t, and allowed me to purchase the song. Over the next 24 hours I spent around $30 on iTunes without having to pay for anything. This morning, after attempting to purchase an app, it gave me a message telling me that there was an error in my billing info.

It then led me to a page with my purchase history, telling me that I owe almost thirty dollars.

It then took me to a page where I was to correct my billing info and let it charge me the money I owe.

I canceled out of this and noticed that I had some updates available for my apps. I proceeded to attempt to download these free updates, but it told me I had an error with my billing information and I needed to correct it before I could proceed. My account is now essentially frozen and I am not able to update any apps or download any of my TV Show subscriptions.

The rumor is it is coming this September. Keep your eyes peeled. Sarcastic Gamer also just published a post saying they have reason to believe that there will be an animated tv series. What’s more, they even posted some videos. Watch them after the jump.
