You're right, it's not really free but I had to get your attention. What you can do is get a brand new
Xbox 360 Premium Edition for ten dollars and a little bit of work. Simply go to
freexbox360, enter an e-mail address that you can check (use a throw away address because you will get spam), signup for an offer (see sample offers listed below) and get 10 other people to do the same (like we are doing right now).
If it sounds too good to be true, it must be, right? Now you are thinking that the whole thing is a scam. Nobody is going to give away a $400 Xbox 360 for only $10 and you are right. Affiliate marketers, which is essentially what these people are, are willing however give away an Xbox if you can get 10 other people to sign up for a service where they earn $50 or more in commissions (check out the payout at Commission Junction and others, you'll see that this number is actually conservative). In addition, they know that many of the people who start referring people will give up after only referring a couple of people so they earn even more.
So put forth some effort and get your Xbox 360. Take the link they provide you with and put in your blog, on your MySpace account, in some instant messages to friends or in some e-mails (don't spam though). Head on over to
freexbox360 and get started on earning your Xbox 360 today.
As mentioned above, along with referring others, you are required to sign up for one of the offers available through the program. Here are some of the offers that were available when we signed up although they may change with time.
Blockbuster Online
Price: $9.95 for the first month, cancel anytime
Service: Rent unlimited DVDs, up to three at a time, and get a free in store rental each month
Our thoughts: Cheap offer, easy to cancel and maybe something that you wouldn't mind doing anyway. Just remember that the monthly fee increases after the first month promotion.
Tickle IQ Test
Price: $12.95 to become a member and see your test results. Cancel anytime
Our thoughts: Easy to purchase and easy to cancel. They also offer a money back guarantee but to take advantage of that you have to cancel by mail within 14 days of signing up for service.
BMG Music Club
Price: Buy 1 CD at the regular price of at least $14.98 and get 11 CDs free. Shipping and handling charge of $2.79 per CD.
Our thoughts: We did this a while ago since it is a good offer anyway if you can find 12 CDs in their library that you want. You have a year to purchase all the CDs and even with shipping and handling, it works out to only $4.04 per CD for 12 CDs. If you do this offer, make sure to cancel after you get your first 12 CDs because after that point is where they start making money.
NetFlix
Price: Plans start at $9.99 per month depending on the number of DVDs you rent at a time. Free for the first 2 weeks. cancel anytime
Our thoughts: Basically the same service as Blockbuster with some free service up front.
Discover Card
Our thoughts: Don't do this one unless you were planning to get a credit card anyway. Applying for credit cards and canceling them right away puts dings on your credit report.
We're totally stoked to get our Xbox 360 and start playing some Project Gotham 4, Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3. So get started now. Go to
freexbox360 signup up, help us get our Xbox 360 and take the first step towards getting your own.
