Free PS3 With AOL

Tomthumb

I signed up for the AOL PS3 as I am already with aol but out of contract. I signed up on the 7th Dec and haven't received the PS3 yet - getting a bit twitchy as I was really hoping to surprise DH with it on Xmas day. They do say that it is guaranteed for christmas if you sign up before 5pm today and the guy I spoke to at Customer services assured me it will arrive. I really hope he's right!!

I applied for this on Sunday and the PS3 came today! (before any of the AOL stuff)

Thing is I don't actually want it.

I'm hoping to raffle it for 60 x £5 tickets at work - I'll keep £200 (for the Wii I actually want) and am donating the remaining £100 to a domestic violence charity we work with @ work (along with my PS1 and 50 games).

Unfortunately as I work for the police I'm having to get legal services to check it out before I can do it and prob won't be able to hand the prize over before Chrimmy.

But a £5 stake for a 60-1 shot of getting a £300 prize, what do you think - will people be tempted?

I wouldnt be!



Also, why apply for it when you didnt want it? you have tied yourself into a 24 month contract for your broadband and you'll probably find that by the end of that contract broadband prices have come down and speeds increased.

Well we needed the wireless anyhoo, and I've never had a problem with AOL.

I quite fancied a free console, it's just the games on the PS3 seem to be rather huge sprawling rpg type affairs and I'm an old school Tomb Raider/Sonic kind gal

If thats the case you'll be disappointed with the wii!

You'll find the novelty soon wears off and your best bet will be to get a copy of Tomb raider for the gamecube and a gamecube controller to put in your wii.
