As I'm sure many other forum members will agree, it's oh-so frustrating to revert to paying for games after you get used to just winning them for free. Oh, how I used to bellow with laughter at the poor (or rich) gamers queing up in Game... credit cards and chequebooks in hand.
In case there are more of you out there who are as tight-fisted as me, you'll be pleased to know that this 'free game' business is really catching on...
Spong.com recentley launched a very interesting looking prize giveaway. This month they've got a massive pile of prizes to give away to their forum users (I hope I'm in the running for the Silver Sony beast!)
A Silver PS2 with 'Run Like Hell'
A Gamecube with Res Evil: Code Veronica X
5x copies of Run Like Hell
5x copies of Metal Slug X
5x PS2 Space Invaders 25th Anniversary packs
And as far as I can tell, there's not that many people even using the forums anyway. This has gotta be a good thing!! I'm no mathematician, but I'd say the chance of winning something are, um, approximately, er, pretty high...
Hooray for the freebie! and god bless the GAD and its skinflint-appeasing ways... Better skip off and write something decent, I want prizes!!
And I want them now!
After giving away a pile of Resident Evil Cube games just for posting "yes please, I'll have that for free" Spong.com are continuing their freebie mania for forum users...
Xboxes, Ninja Gaidens, GBA SPs... they're all up for grabs and you don't even need to write anything good, you just write anything...

In school, you'll get a good comment from the teacher or somethin'. And that's if you're even noticed. Which is rare.
...and then I won something.
I love SR and I love Spong: but most of all, I love free things.
