I have to admit, these deals (and I am talking about all these free netbook/notebook/console deals) *are* good value if you have a use (and are happy to pay) for 24 months of broadband.

They aren't such a good deal if you are just looking for the device. After all, you can get a decent netbook for around £200-£250. Consoles and low end laptops are around the same. 24 months of broadband comes to around £840.

I am not knocking the deal. I'm sort of looking for a netbook, and if I could justify the move back to Virgin (I am happy with Be, and they are a *lot* cheaper), I would consider this.
