Free Sony PSP

Want a free Sony PSP? Yeah, me too. Freeipods.com worked like a charm, so Gratis Network has started freepsps.com. Complete one of their offers, like the BMG deal of 12 CDs for the price of one, then just get 5 people to do the same. Instant Sony PSP. I did this last time and got a shiny new iPod Shuffle (in the end it cost me a $1). Easy peasy (nearly) free stuff. I recommend using a junk email address.
