Special Reserve, I have wanted to become a member now since I started visiting your site and seeing your adverts. Albeit this has only started since purchasing my XBox. However, I have waited until you offer free gifts for XBox owners. To my disappointment however I have noticed you are now doing a Membership-a-day deal but with no gifts for XBox owners. This is a fair practice, and I want to become a member. However, you seem to offer free gifts to owners of every other console, including Gamecube, but not XBox. So it all boils down to this pseudo-ultimatum:

Come on Special Reserve, put an XBox freebie up for grabs for membership and I will join.

I must stress that I do appreciate SR giving away freebies! I just don't want to join and claim a gift I would never use, when in the future SR may put an XBox gift there. I would like to know however, how long this process may take, as I kinda want to join soon.

Give SR some time I reckon and they will have some x-box freebies. I suppose they just have to wait for the price of the games and accesories to come down. With the reduction in price of the gamecube i dont think this will be long. All will come to he who waits.

the only thing cheap enough to justify giving away free for the X-Box are the Audio cables and some other adapters for it.

Now who in God's name is going to be enticed to join by this heartwarming offer?

No-one.

So, there are no free gifts, unless you selfishly want the membership price to jump up by about £10.

They can't get Xbox stuff at a low enough price to justify giving it away for free yet.

They're a business, just appreciate any free stuff that you do get for Christs sake!
