How to get gear worth £1000s. Day five: Hard cash to iPod Shuffle...

Free money!

Lloyds TSB

www.lloydstsb.com

Fancy a £30 cash injection? Thought so. All you need to do is open an account with Lloyds TSB and it's all yours. It may not exactly be a jackpot, but £30 can get you a DS game, 3,000 penny sweets or a round of drinks, and we dare say Lloyds TSB does an excellent range of "financial instruments".

Music albums

Free Albums

www.freealbums.blogsome.com

This blog does just what it says on the homepage - links to legally free, complete, non-DRM albums. You won't find pop chart toppers here, but that's no bad thing, as it leaves more room for the likes of 833-45, whose music mixes "industrial drones, radio signals, and electronic noise." Mmm.

Two T-Mobile SIM cards

T-Mobile

www.t-mobilesimgiveaway.co.uk

We're not talking just one free SIM here. Nor are we talking three. What you get is two T-Mobile SIMs, and as an added extra bit of generosity, if you top up £10 on Fridays you'll get free UK texts all weekend, so you can SMS away to your heart's content with no need to worry about hefty bills.

Old skool shoot-'em-up

Warblade

Like a 21st century Galaga, Warblade involves blasting waves of thingies with ever-more-powerful weapons. The full version is paidfor shareware, and well worth the $20, but the 20-level free download is more than enough for us. Our high-score's 2,762,414 - think you can do better? You do? Oh, OK.
