Hey MR members.

I have just read a good post at one of my fav blogs.

Here it is:
http://www.geekzu.com/paid-apps-free/

And, here is the excerpt of the post:

When most apps in the iTunes store cost from $0.99 to $2.99, you don’t really think twice about purchasing a few apps every now and then. But when you actually watch the figures accumulate, you could be surprised to see just how much money you’re spending.

But, there are certain legitimate ways to get your hands on some paid iPhone apps for free. None of these methods require that you jailbreak your phone – but some of them do require a little bit of patience.

Hope you like my share.

Nice post -- wasn't aware of any of those sites or apps. Your title is a little misleading though, as this really just amounts to getting free apps for free as soon as they become free, not getting currently paid apps for free, which is a big distinction. Would-be pirates are gonna see your title and get disappointed while they click on your link, while the self-righteous unofficial forum police may see your title and lecture you on screwing over developers and how bad a person you are for stealing apps because they see your title and don't bother reading the article.
 
More than half of the apps I've gotten for free over the past year were from Macrumors by using the promo codes that devs post in these forums.

The ones I paid for were apps that had no promo codes such as GPS or other somewhat expensive apps that would never have been offered with a code.

I hope you post reviews or at the very least - post when you've used a code. One of my forum pet peeves are people who grab a promo code and don't post in the thread saying "xxxxxx taken" ;)

Oh. Sorry if that was misleading. Sorry for that!

+1 on that. It's only our reviews that "make" or "break" anything!
