is there a way you can enter the users iphone from outside the App Store? If such a hack exists you can price your game say only 50 cents (for some limited levels) so that Apple gets to keep only 15 and open up the remaining levels or in game merchandise by charging the remaining 50 cents after the game has been downloaded. So in effect you can keep 85 cents of the dollar instead of 70 through a bullet subscription...
