teapotI’ve done two of the “free” product websites. And I’ve had a 50/50 success rate with my adventures in getting free stuff. The first try was through the free green xbox web site. I completed three of the offers and got the certificate of completion, but I got nothing. My friend did the same offers but sent his paper in a week earlier, and received a check in the mail yesterday for the price of a limited edition xbox. I’m not expecting anything from this offer because I must have done something wrong to displease the free xbox gods.

Now the other offer that I’m feeling more confident about is freeipods.com. I’ve actually gone through the process of referring 5 people to complete offers and I’ve gotten the following screen up.

Doesn’t that seem like a good sign? It turns out that the new 4th Generation is backordered at eCost (the company who supplies Gratis). People who placed orders on 8/2 have had theirs shipped. I’m in the 8/6 group and it’s anyone’s guess when that will go out, but it does seem legit. There was even an article on Wired.com that confirms the site is really shipping out the merchandise.

So…we shall see. Rest assured I will be posting information here if the iPod ever gets shipped. The #1 reason I want to get it though is so I can convince people to sign up for…

FREE FLAT SCREENS BUWHAHAHAHAHA!!
