In what appears to be a promotion gone wrong, Cox Communications has accidentally offered free Playstation 3's to every Cox customer in Arizona that signs up for service or upgrades existing service. The deal was supposedly intended only to lure in
new Cox customers, but Cox's marketing team accidentally sent the flyers out to all customers. Judging from posts in our
forums, Cox did try pretty hard to honor the deal, which requires users sign a 12 month contract (and Cox's ETF is roughly equivalent to the cost of a PS3). Some users who tried to get in on the deal late (and via word of mouth from customers who got flyers) aren't getting PS3's, and have complained to the
Consumerist about Cox shutting down the promotion.
