ENGRDawg

18-02-2005 12:13:50

stroid - with macmini and shuffle apple didnt offer preordering. they just announced that they had these products and offered them for sale at their stores and online either immediately or within a few days.

sony will offer preorders through various retail outlets.

Posted on February 18, 2005

We've just launched www.freepsps.com! The new Sony PSP is flat-out amazing. Play 3D video games via a gorgeous 480x272-pixel high-resolution screen featuring a spectacular 16.77 million colors. Challenge your friends and play them from anywhere via the built-in 802.11b wireless modem. If you want to take a break from gaming, you can use the PSP to watch a movie on the 169 widescreen. We're pre-ordering a ton, so if you sign up now, and get your 5 complete referrals, you'll likely avoid the shortages and get one before your friends.[/quote649ddf3c47]

I must say that I am disappointed in with the site. I am not impressed with the content.

I got instant credit for it, when I did it a while back for FIP

I wish I had done another offer. Suspect billing, apparently not "instant" and IMO poor content.

Currently

22 - Yellow
0 --- Green
1 --- Green expected for sure from trade
3 --- Green expected from odds (1[/colora61f16904e] green per 7[/colora61f16904e] yellows on average for something hot like a PSP)

Should have all 5 green before the end of the week. The problem with the system I use is that after I get my 5 greens I will have like 70 - 100 yellows or so. Many of these will go to green after I get approved, which means they are wasted. That kind of sucks.

When I submitted for FDPC (freedesktopPC), I had 10 refs, but by the time I was approved, I had 14. After you order you can no longer see your referrals so there's no telling how many eventually went green. Just something to think about if you're using a method like mine where you get lots of yellows.

Exactly. For ALL of my Gratis offers, I usually end up getting at least 2-4 extras. I even still continue getting "completed" notifications after I am already in processing. I requested approval today for photoipods, and since then like 3 more people turned to green. Well, if that is the way to win it I don't mind lol)

you likely wont get put on hold but you wont get credit for his referral either. i would advise getting another referral while you are submitted for approval. that way you'll have your 5 and get approved anyway.
