Thought I'm out of the freebie scene, let me update you on two orders I have in (one of them, anyway)
Transcendent Innovations *is* shipping out PS3 systems at launch. Like everyone else, however, they don't have near enough to meet demand. I finished the site and placed my order a long time ago (early May), and I'm not getting a system at launch. There are others who will, shortly. I feel that I am just outside of the orders that are shipping in the next week. Will I get one soon? I don't know.
They are offering a Paypal/check option to people who aren't getting a system shipped in the first batch, so they are a very good and reliable company. Now if they only had a few more systems, so I can get mine (I'm not going to take the money).
I also have a PS3 on order from FreePay, but I've heard nothing from them, and they didn't ship out any Xbox 360 systems until this past June. I don't expect to see my console from them for a *long* time; I do expect to get it, however.
