I've always wondered, do those free advertisements really award a working Laptop or Game System?

A friend of mine completed one of those internet advertisements, and it cost him around $200. Upon completion, they shipped him an Xbox 360. It came with no controllers or cords, and when they got the cords new, it wouldn't even work. I have seen advertisements where the promotions that you havr to complete are things that i have wanted ex. Blockbuster Stuff, Magazines, Blenders ETC. What should i do. Should i take the risk or buy one new?

    Well, Game Informer tried this some time back. It turns out, after a month of hard work, they got one, brand new and working.

    Basically-

    If time's more important that money, buy one

    If money's more important that time, take the risk

    If you have to pay ANYTHING, don't to the thing.

    ALWAYS MAKE A NEW E-MAIL FOR THOSE THINGS!!!

    Well... very few work. If you want to take a risk go for it! It may work but cost money or something else here is what can happen

    A. It works and the prize works

    B. Nether prize nor advertisments work

    C. It works and costs money

    D. It doesn't work and you pay

    It's a 50-50 shot like when a team makes it to the play-offs and there is a team that's evenly matched. Maybe you win maybe not. You don't know. My advise- Don't do it. It most likely will not come out to you're benifit!

    you will see promotions like those all over the internet. on an analogous time as genuine, you are able to earn a loptop or inspite of severe priced merchandise they are offering, yet you are able to desire to first complete countless of their sponsor grants, i.e., pay money to purchase a service or product from countless sponsors. The "loose" recent isn't loose, notwithstanding it particularly is criminal to sell as such, and in case you complete the mandatory sponsorships, you will acquire it. for my area, I label this decrease than rip-off.

    Stay away from those site,s is my advice unless they are based in your own state or country [or you know they are not bogus] so then you have some comeback if your lucky and your statutory rights will stand if in your own country
