Is this a new form of scam?

I've noticed a few posts on youtube, ign etc. They say something about getting a 360 for free, never really bothered looking further in to it. Does anyone know what this is all about? I'm guessing it's a scam as nothings ever free!

Heres an example:

Hey people you have to check this out

You can get a free X-Box 360 and a couple of games. I am not kidding. Believe me, I was extremely skeptical about this until my nephew did it and received his free machine.

Google the address and you'll see that it is no scam. All you have to do is sign up for one offer (which is usually free) and then tell others about it and you get your free 360.

I signed up for Gamefly (just because I wanted to anyway) and then got a bunch of people to look at my link and next thing I knew I had a free I-Phone. Now I am going for the 360.

My nephew signed up for Gamefly, got some people to look at his links and about 2 weeks later he got his Xbox 360 and 2 games in the mail. It is UNREAL!!!

All you have to do is sign up for one offer. Then post your link all over the place and when you get a few referrals you get your free machine. You have nothing to lose but a few minutes of your time.

I hope some of you here at IGN take advantage of this, just so you know that I am not lying. The company makes money off of every refferal you make and they don't mind sharing that money with you for your free X-box 360. They still make out like bandits. It's about time that people like us can get something for free. The only catch is that you can only get each prize once...Oh well. One of everything is better than nothing.

Check out this link and you will be thanking me soon:

This is not Spam, this is a legitimate offer that I want you IGN people to look at. Check it out

Can provide linkages he's used if you guys wants it.

A guy at my old work got a free PSP doing this. He signed up and it said he needed 25 referals to get it. He signed up 25 address and agreed for them to join and when they signed up for similar and started getting address he got his PSP. The site was loaded with advertisments and the email address he signed up have been flooded with offers since. I am not saying all are real but the one he used seemed to be legit.

its a pyramid scam, they get money for the referrals to buy the kit the problem is usually by the time you have all the referrals and your turn comes up the kit is obselete
