well, i just signed up with gamerinstinct.com. gave them a bunch of info, which they promise they won't sell. i supposedly just earned $2.50 by filling out the initial survey. you can't redeem the money until you get 1000pts or $50.00. the payment would be cool, but i'm more interested in trying to get likes and dislikes noticed by the gaming/electronic industry. and there may be some sort of emblem, which would be really cool. who knows if this thing is worth it, but i'll write out the results as they come.

(EDIT)

well, it's been over a week now, and there are no surveys for me to take. thus, no points to earn. maybe i don't fit into a demographic that they need information from. so far, nothing from gamerinstinct. (note, i have not received any spam after i gave my information either.)

(EDIT 2)

ok, i received a survey. completed it, received points, and still no spam.  so far, it seems legit.  although, it looks like you are selected for only certain surveys according to your demographics.  it may be a while before i earn enough points to qualify for money.

(EDIT 3)

ouch, got another survey, but got denied after answering the first few questions.  must be because i'm not next (current) gen enough. i love you ps2.
