   | What was your 1st freebie and do you still use it?Was looking back and saw that I got my first freebie in December 2005. It was an ipod 30gb in black and I still use it every day. Am glad it still works after 6 years, but its amazing to think that when that little beauty was delivered, it changed so many things for me as I realised that it wasn't a scam. Anyway, got me wondering whether you lot still use your first freebie and what was it?

| My first freebie was in 2009 and was £275 Amazon Vouchers instead of an iPod Touch from Freepay. I used the vouchers on some equipment for my bike and put the rest towards the Samsung T220HD 22" Monitor. I still use most of the cycle equipments (in fact I transferred the tyres to my new bike, I still use the shorts and bibshorts, the saddle bag and puncture repair kit!!) and I still have and use the 22" monitor, though I don't have space for it in my new place so it's back at my parents house until I move again! In fact going through my signature there are only 2 things I don't use any more... the textbooks (they were for Uni), the iPhone 4 case (got a new one)!

| My first freebie was an iPod Touch from Real Incentives. Still use it everyday. The battery is on its last legs though now I think, doesn't last very long! But I'm like you arctic, it changed everything for me and I've put a lot of my time into the freebie scene since then.

| My first freebie was my PS3 (GTA IV bundle whenever that came out). And yes it still gets used. Thought recently about getting a new PS3 as the fans seemed to be struggling with intensive games like Uncharted 3 and BF3. But that's more an issue with the temp of the air the PS3 is sucking in so my first freebie will be getting used for a while yet. |

 | My first freebie was ironically from lockerz back in early 2009, it was a £300 amazon voucher that was spent within the first few days of receiving  Lockerz then started to go downhill rapidly and so i looked at other sites like FJ.

| My first freebie was an iPod nano, my daughter still uses it every day. Same as everyone else, it changed my perspective of the freebie scene forever!

I was a member when the redemptions lasted like 30mins, now they last less than a minute, or atleast they used to, Lockerz got rid of redemptions, surprise surprise.

| My first freebie was a £221 amazon voucher which was spent to pay for part of my HDTV. I use the TV all the time for my ps3 etc when i'm back from Uni, but now i'm in student accommodation I don't use it everyday.

| Think it was 2006 when i got my Xbox 360 for free. Still have it and use it as the communal xbox in my uni house. It constantly has odd problems happening with it but it does its job, usually! Can't believe it's been that long. Edit: http://www.exceem.co.uk/forums/i-got...nsolegrab.html Over 5 years ago. I was 14 at the time. Mad! I remember the huge excitement it gave me, and what getting free things was like in those days. Was fun! Good old consolegrab (which has since got bust years ago).

| My first freebie was just from November of 2010 from FJ It was an iPod Touch 4. I was waiting around for it, hoping it wasn't a scam, when the USPS guy showed up with my package. Still use it pretty much every day
