Free Stuff For The Christmas Season

- With stocks of 360's more rare than DoDos, this may be one of your last hopes of getting yourself one (or even upto 3 Xbox 360's) for free before the new year.
- Visit the Xbox 360 Conga page to see details on how to get them.

- iPod's of all types have been selling out too. 1GB Shuffles will not be available until January now, and the Nanos could be going the same way.
- Same deal as the 360. Visit the iPod Nano Conga page for help on getting a free one.

- Don't forget we also have a Free Sony PSP Conga page too! Stocks of these are almost as bad as the 360 in some areas! Try and get one for Christmas with our Conga.

- With the iPod with Video Conga you have a choice of 30GB or 60GB models in black or white or a PayPal payment of $300! Useful for Christmas shopping since the payment is instant.
- Remember, these offers are completely cost free and risk free. That picture of the PSP above is mine that I earned doing this and now I am trying to help readers of this site do the same by not wasting potential referrals.
- Enjoy your free stuff. Thanks!

TV Adaptor Reviews

- Lik-Sang take a look at the PSP2TV and come away fairly impressed, but confused as to the whole point of the product really. The install seems a little dangerous for the average person, but the image is pretty good.
- IGN look at the Blaze TV Adaptor giving it a fairly average score, though it sounds like the image is pretty crappy. This one wins for not having to bust open the PSP though.
