well if you haven't then you can read about it on the bbc
website here

anyway, they now do the same thing for consoles too!!
shit i sound like such a troll but i'm really excited by
this. what i have done is selected the console i want (a
gameboy advance sp - they also offer 5 other
consoles: psp, ps2, xbox, nintendo ds and gamecube)
then signed up for a months free trial to RealArcade (i
recommend this one cos it's the only free one)

now all i have to do is get 4 people to do the same and BAM!
FREE CONSOLE!

if you wanna have a go then CLICKY HERE!

p.s i am not a troll. i just want to share the greatness <3

this whole thing is so frustrating because it is actually
real. i've searched google far and wide checking out this
site and it is legitimate. the only thing holding
everyone back is the god damn stigma behind it all! come on
people. i want free stuff!

trust me, it will never work. it's just getting people to
get off their asses.

The bit about the fact they will sell all of your details
including your address details to as many third party
marketing companies as they can manage, coupled with the
fact the terms and conditions state they are under no
obligation to fulfil anything they say and have to give no
reason for failing to fulfil seems a little bit naff and
generally not a good idea to sign up to.

it's comments like that which make me bite my hand off.

if it doesn't work then i'm a fool but then i've lost
nothing. listen to this. you can even register at ebay and
you will be eligble for a console just as long as you refer
the right number of people. now seriously. would a company
like ebay get involved in a scam?

i don't want to go on cos i'm sounding like an utter troll

where does it say that in the terms and conditions? i read
it through thoroughly and never saw that.

1.8 By registering for an account on
GameConsoleGiveaway.co.uk, you agree to receive any 3rd
party messages that we wish to send to you. Including, but
not limited to, 3rd party advertisements and offers.

4.2 GameConsoleGiveaway.co.uk is allowed to deny credit for
any offer for any reason.

This is also a bit dodgy:

2.4 4. GameConsoleGiveaway.co.uk is not responsible for any
unknown or unexpected charges that you receive from one or
more of our offers. Read the offers terms and conditions
before signing up.

"1.8 By registering for an account on

party messages that we wish to send to you. Including, but

it says in the privacy policy that they share information
with the selected 10 advertisers which are all respectable
companies.

"4.2 GameConsoleGiveaway.co.uk is allowed to deny credit
for
any offer for any reason."

- hopefully that's just covering them if they go bankrupt

to the last bit:

that's referring to the advertisers that you do a trial
with. for example. i signed up with RealArcade. Now Real
might suddenly decide to charge me for something etc.. now
that's not the fault of the Giveaway Network is it?

anyway i don't wanna argue it anymore. i'll see if it works
and if it doesn't then i'll let you know.

Who was argueing?

p.s. you agree to the terms and conditions of the offer not
to the privacy policy.

i said "argue it"

like "debate it"

but i just wanna say this. you're probably right and i'm a
sucker.

Maybe not, and then you end up with a shiny new console and
I have to do without a second whatever console it is. :P
