Any websites that ACTUALLY offer free products for testing? (legit ones)

[jameschino88]

Has anyone ever bought into that "FREECOOL" type advertizement and actually gotten anything? Just curious. Are there any programs I can sign up for to test things which I don't have to go and ENROLL everyone else to get credits?
ANy info or comments welcome.
Thanks

I never go in for anything that offers that kind of thing, you don't get something for nothing :)

There aint no such thing as a free lunch.

You can get the SETI screensaver and process the data packages, you might be the one to find the aliens! There's no strings attached to that.

Well, I know Sony gives out demo game disks if you sign up to give reviews, so that kind of thing is legit. I know that pretty much every website with free stuff is a sham though. I was just thinking that maybe, just maybe someone knew of one.

James, I'm confused what exactly are you after?

Free coupons or vouchers?
Free credits like you get when you joined PixelAddiction?
Free computer games?

There's always freeware (usually has ads these days) or shareware with limited free time or reduced ability.

There are several peer to peer programmes that allow you to "share" games, music, DVD's and other software, the legality of it is constantly being questioned by all and sundry. Go to it and enjoy I say.

I'm finding a lot of those little flash(?) banners where you have to shoot the criminal, cockroaches, boxing or whatever are pretty entertaining. Now that I'm on a Mac I don't really worry about getting jammed with crappy spyware by taking a minute to play these FREE games...

Yes! Now that I'm on mozilla, I don't mind SMASHING the cockroach. It's SOOO tempting!

I know this post is older but I just saw it and wanted to say I decided to follow a couple of the ones that offer the "free laptop", playstation, etc one day and I went through about 50 screens of "questionaires", but I am determined so I kept plugging along and guess what when it gets to the point of You are done fill in your info and lcick here and we will send your prize the clicker doesn't work!!! It just freezes (Conveniently) and it did that on 7 different ones!!! The same thing.

[Dave]

So they got all that information on you for free .....

:coffee:

Exactly which is what I figured was going to happen I just HAD to see how they were going to manage it

Dang! You should BURN THEIR LAPTOPS!
