Get a free Xbox or PS2

This is an awesome deal. Where else but in America can you buy bandwidth and get a killer console game system to boot?
Here’s the deal: Speakeasy is offering your choice of a brand-new, free Playstation2 or Xbox console to new subscribers. You have to buy one of their “gamer” DSL packages, which are basically indistinguishable from their SOHO and home-user packages, and you have to sign up by 9/30.
I’d already placed a DSL order with them last month. It was due to be installed on Friday. When I learned of this promotion yesterday, I called them and asked them to switch my order– and they did! They didn’t have to, but they decided to go out of their way to delight the customer– how often does that happen?
If you’re interested, go here or call 800-556-5829 and ask for Nathan at extension 336.
DISCLAIMER: if you sign up through the link above, I get $25. Do or don’t, it’s OK with me either way.
The only remaining problem: how is Arlene going to clean the front window after I spend the next week with my nose pressed against it, watching for the delivery truck?
