Last week, UPS delivered small package to my house. It was in a brown carton with a nondescript label. Inside, I found an onyx Game Boy Advance SP and a letter thanking me for my participation in a contest I entered several months before. I bought myself a copy of the NES Classic, Legend of Zelda, and planned to enjoy it immensely. That is, until Emma commandeered it. Now she already has a small collection of GBA games, and I have nothing. I decided I was going to do something about it.

I don't have much faith in my ability to win another game system so quickly after this one showed up, so I figured I'd try something new. I've been following the "Free iPod" craze for several months now. To get a free iPod, notebook computer, flat screen or whatever, one signs up for an offer then gets several other people to sign up using their referral link. After the required number of offers have been completed, the free item is shipped. I've been getting the majority of my information from Gratis Offers Guide and the GOG forums. Today I took the plunge and joined a conga line there to see about getting a free Sony PSP. In this sense, a conga is where someone makes a post with thier referral link, other people sign up under that link, and as the required number of offers are completed, the referral link is updated to reflect the first person in the conga. It works out rather nicely, and although the people that sign up later tend to get the short end of the stick, I'm only nine or ten spots from the top on this very new list. With that in mind, I think I might actually score some completed offers out of it. I've got a few weeks though, since the PSP won't be available in the USA till mid-March.

My referral link, if anyone is so inclined, is http://www.FreePSPs.com/?r=15373817
