You know ive heard, IVE HEARD, that the free stuff celebs get are either 1. release items that are pretty much either going to be updated within a month of public sales, or 2. items that are being cleared off the shelves.
In other words i assume that the free items that we get jealous about are not that great of quality. I remember that at an ipod video release party the ipods that the celebs got were about 50% operational. Or only half of the gifts actually worked. ANd in most cases gifts like this have no warrantees because warrantees are gifts to the customer that spends all the money on the item.
Ill be honest most of this is speculations, but i have heard that release items are not the same ones the public gets.
