I spotted this on a forum that has nothing to do with the GP2X, just a ton of people exploiting it.


Get yours today!

what kind of shop is that? never heard of it.

"Enter now!" "No Purchase Necessary!"

I don't trust it ...

Basically - it will put you onto a newsletter that you can immediately unsubscribe from.


I risked it - and I really do not care if they send me emails - it is forwarded towards a dummy email address.

... but they require a physical address ...

What are they going to do? Send me anthrax?


or even worse...



SPAM?!




Spam costs money to send - I doubt that I would recieve much, if any from them.

You're very brave. Best of luck to you ...

Its a promotion .

Some of you might not realize this but this is not a scam and will not ruin your life .

It is a simple marketing ploy done since advertising existed .

Like this company cares about the 50 cents they have to give out to award a neckstrap . If it gains them even one new customer or increases their brand equity on the market then they did thier job .

Doing something like this is a lot more effective then purchasing almost any kind of ads on sites and allows you direct email access to your customers . They are taking advantage of the viral effect and love when shit like this gets posted on boards like this .

In that case, I think I'll act now before they're all gone ...

This is the shop where i bought my gp2x; now i inserted my address to receive for free that item, due to the highly requests it has a limited numbers of items per day, if you don't receive it in two weeks you can try another time........

The strap that came on my 2x's case broke cause it was a cheap peice of shit, maybe this is better. I did it.

I used the wrist strap from my old digital camera - but this looks much nicer, and is more of a commercial statement to the brand, nothing to be ashamed about.

Do you pay your bills and subscribe to magazines through an intermediary to avoid the possibility of armed thugs knocking down your door, shooting you in the kneecaps and stealing your valuables?

Meh...worth a go.

Of course ... doesn't everyone?

you paranoid bastard

So your all going to have the 2x dangling from your neck? Seems a bit heavy to me for that, but each to there own...

...that's like that weird lanyard thingy for the shuffle...I personally hate the shuffle, and I'd find it very awkward if i had my mp3 player or something hanging from my neck...Probably paranoid it might fall and break or something...if that were to happen to a full sized Ipod vid or something, it'd be shot...

I'm giving it a shot


thanks!

I'll just use it as a longer emergency cord

its not a neckstrap it's a keychain

I am pretty sure it is a wriststrap. I mean just look at the picture.

I looked at it more closely ... indeed, it's got a metal hook-latch thing that wouldn't fit the GP2X's little string hole thing ...

IT's free who the hell CARES what it is!!

Thats a pretty cool strap.

sayyyyy.......Has anyone received the 128 free SD? I haven't yet

I havent gotten mine yet either . But no spam , so I guess that is a good sign .

Do not worry - I have signed up for at least 50 free things, none have arrived yet.


I fear I shall come home one day to be greeted with a mountain of freebies.

ok maybe its cuz ive just worked 12 hours straight and im shagged out but maybe there launching a new line of GP2X Bling next it will be little joystick rings

Ok, I'll mail you some of my shit for free, hows that? That you'll be able to smell the aroma

<paranoid mode>
Isn't this just a giant email web database they are building ? They probably only send the straps to the first couple of people each day, and so get a couple of thousand email addresses for nothing each day. Give it a couple of weeks, and the database will be sold to maximise profit.
</paranoid mode>

that's why you make a dummy email address for things like this.

See, I'm not the only one who's paranoid

i subscribe to most things that people post on this forum.
i dont really understand the dangers of giving out your adress, so thats probably why.
the only things you watch out for is when you put your debit card details or those mobile phone things where its subscribe and die.
I havnt recieved that SD card yet, dam that - lets sue!!!! I want my free stuff!!
I read this thing once on b3ta.com about this guy who wrote to loads of big companies to give him free stuff, anything they wanted. He actually ended up getting loadsa free stuff sent to him.

well how reliable is http://www.gametronics.se/?

Strange they have the same hot girl...

You know I don't usally allow people to lick my electronics but (bad pun about licking things inserted here)



I say we make her the offical GP2X mascot, whos with me?

gp2xshop is run by gametronics

..........Well, still does not mean she can't be the GP2X mascot!

And in 2008 we're due to get our free 0.5oz bag of Cheetos Checkers we called in for back in '93! I can't wait! (mmm fossils)

I have the king of all freebies - two microchips from some electronics company. I don't know what they do, but they're still cool.
