Sort of.
Apparently PNY technologies (those guys that do all the memory cards) have introduced a MicroSD card that now lets people choose from an entire catalogue of EA mobile games. Whether it’s FIFA08 or The Sims2, the game can be chosen for free, but you will have to pay for the card. You then you have to type in an access code from the packaging before downloading the game (via WAP) to your handset.
So that is to say, you get the benefit of being able to download one “free” game, after you buy a somewhat-unrelated memory card – not all cool as being able to select a game from a menu on the memory card, but that would be technologically challenging, as it would mean producing a card for each handset variant.
Well, anyhow, the 1GB card costs £9.99 and can be bought from PC World/Currys, and the 2GB version is £14.98.

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
