First of all I want to apologize in advance if this type of post is not allowed. I read the stickies and did not find any rules against it.
This is basically similar to the free iPod, desktop PC, designer handbags, flat panel/TV deals run by Gratis Networks as seen on CNN Headline News and on Wired magazine (article link posted at the bottom).
So you sign up and complete one of their free trial offers provided by their partners and refer your friends to do the same. Although this appears to be a pyramid type scheme, these deals are legit...Do a Google search and you'll find tons of success stories (w/pics). The best free trial offer right now are from Blockbuster Online and Stamps.com. I received my credits within 2 days, and had no problem closing my accounts. This deal is valid for US residents only.

For the free personal video player, sign up at http://www.pvps4free.com/default.aspx?r=10110
Personal video players are better than the iPods. They will play MP3s,videos (WMV & DivX) and slideshow-photos. They have the following players available: Archos AV420, iRiver PMP-120, Creative Zen PMC or 10" portable DVD player. CNET.com picked the Archos AV420 amongst the best in the players listed.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could sign up under my link. If you don't want to, you can simply sign up directly at their website. Thanks, and good luck!
