here's an interesting link about how these sites work.

The "free PSP" websites make very good money doing what they do, or they simply wouldn't be around. It's that simple. They have a contract with each of the companys you have to sign up for to earn your free PSP. Every time someone signs up for colombia house or a credit card, or whatever company is choses, the "free PSP" website earns a small amount of cash. Think of it as a "finders fee"

The majority of people who actually complete 100% of the requirements to "earn" a free PSP/iPod/Xbox/whatever is very low. What usually happens is you complete YOUR share of the deal, but can't find enough friends to do the same, so you've signed up for several offers, but recieved no PSP. This means the free PSP site gets money, and you get nothing.

Ths happens so often that these PSP4free.com type companies can give out PSP's to the people who actually meet all the requirements and still pull a nice profit because so many people don't complete 100% of the requirements, but still meet enough to net them some cash.

Yes, many of the offers are supposedly "free." "Free" meaning you pay a fee to join, but can get out of it by cancelling in 30 days, or whatever their terms are. "Why would companies give cash to some random website if the new members can cancell and pay nothing," you ask? It's yet another odds game. Many people either sign up for these offers and either forget to cancel until the are billed for the first time, or follow through with the offer. The companies paying the free PSP type sites know that the odds are in their favor that peope signing up for these offers will either use them a few times, or forget to cancel.

Yes it CAN be done, but the odds are completely against you. That's how these things work. I live in Nevada, tons of people I know gamble, but I learned a long time ago that just because the slot machine tells me I can win a Dodge Viper for only 3 quarters, odds are I'm not going to.

then again, i could just be talking out of my ass here.
