Anyone here do this?

NO WAY

I would think you would already have one of the services they offer if you wanted it - stamps.com, ebay....nothing is free - you have to sign up for trial periods, then cancel within a certain amount of time, or for like ebay - you have to sign up and BUY something before you can get the game for free.

Kinda like those sign up for a billion offers, then have people you sucker into doing it also sign up and you can get a "free" item.

Why would Eidos go this route - Makes me think a WHOLE lot less of the company

Ya thats what I figured too. Its like the offers to get a free Xbox360 or PS3, except with those you have to do more than 1 offer, and you have to lure a few of your friends into doing the same thing...despicable marketing schemes!
