They have the Blockbuster free trial, the BMG pile o' CDs for a penny, some gourmet coffee you can buy, a couple credit cards you can sign up for, some cheesy "miracle" weight loss pills. Can't remember what else off the top of my head. It's not a pyramid scheme because the ipod company gets money from the companies with the offers for advertising and a portion of that is what's used to pay for the ipods. In a pyramid scheme you have to pay money & then you get other people to give you money.
