AOL giving away FREE PS3's...

[Web-Junkie]

...if your daft enough to sign up for this offer:

http://myaolbroadband.co.uk/broadban...laystation.adp

Has this been mentioned elsewhere?

[Matthew]

Why would you want to go with AOL, I'd rather fawk out the money for the PS3 that have AOL!

[Web-Junkie]

You'd have to be daft to want a Gaystation 3 And as for those Wiitards who want to jump and prance about, well.....!!!

Oh, AOL sucks too

[Richy99]

i know several that have had AOL and never had a problem with their connection, it all comes down to it being AOL tho as many people jump on it say dont get them, a bit like PC world, people say not to use them but sometimes they do have good offers

[Paul]

Would rather have my gonads grated whilst dipped in vinegar than go with AOL.

Also is that site fully legit? If you look at the link in the top right hand corner, it says "Already on AOL Member?" when it should say "Already an AOL Member?"

[Paul]

Erm Specsavers Wayne, it does say an.

It says "an"

A quick "Whois" shows:

Domain name:
myaolbroadband.co.uk

Registrant:
AOL LLC

Registrant type:
Non-UK Corporation

Registrant's address:
22000 AOL Way
Dulles
VA
20166
US

A DNS enquiry reveals the IP as 195.93.94.57 which is owned by:

inetnum: 195.93.64.0 - 195.93.127.255
netname: AOL-EU-2
descr: AOL Inc
country: US
admin-c: AOL5-RIPE
tech-c: AOL5-RIPE
status: ASSIGNED PA
mnt-by: AOL-EU-MNT
mnt-lower: AOL-EU-MNT
changed: domains@aol.net 20000220
changed: domains@aol.net 20000621

So, all in all I'm comfortable it's legit.

Still wouldn't touch AOL with a 10 meter cattle prod!

yh, ok i confess

[Web-Junkie]

You'd be AN ideal customer for AOL then if you're eyesights a bit dodgy, good for not seeing the smallprint

[Dude111]

Figures AOL would offer something like this,they have nothing good to offer so they think adding this will drum in business!

I wouldnt be tempted by this above offer though as i think PS3's are crap (Along with most game consoles out today)

Now if they were offering A FREE ATARI,COLECOVISION,ETC... That might just latch me in!! (I prefer classic gaming (Quality,etc is MUCH BETTER))

You should have checked the date on this thread...It's an old offer.
