UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention that there's a typo in my last post. The correct name for the one tv episode is 1600 Penn, *NOT* 1800 Penn. Furthermore, it's now available on Zune/Xbox Video.

As an aside, if you are one to access Zune/Xbox Video by way of the Zune software on PC, there is a sectionfor free TV Pilots now, which MS seems to be updating regularly. Just look under Video ----> TV & when the screen shows "Free TV Pilots" near the top in their featured area (it cycles periodically), just click on it.

While this pericular post isn't to notify pople of new freebis, I am writing to answer a frequently asked question - how do I find the freebies for the services? Well, this is how I do it:

For PSN (@ least prior to the theft of my PS3 & from what I heard about the redesign of the PSN store) I'd look at the video side of the store, go to the TV shows tab, thn the Free TV subtab. There you'd find a listing of what is available, with newer entries listed first. Seeing as I no longer have a PS3 & hence can't familiarize myself with tthe new layout, I dunno how accurate this method remains.

With Zune/Xbox video, things are a bit of a pain to find, because the freebies aren't centrally located like how PSN does it, so it takes a bit of hunting around. Now, it's been awhile since I've owned an Xbox360, & as such I've forgotten how thingswere organised on there, so Iwon't comment on that. Now, from a PC, thhere is multiple methods I use. While using a wb browser, I go to this perticular link: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/TVSho ... eleaseDate

While here, I look at the first row or 2 fairly regularly (at least once a day). If I see anything new there (such as Generic Awesome Anime, for example) I click on it, look each season if there's more than 1, & look specifically at the 1st episode or 2. More likely thn not, if Generic Awesome Anime is a new series or a returning series, the 1st episode of a given season will e free. This is by no means a guarantee that i *WILL* be free, but the odds are in your favor.

Also, on occaision one can find freebies here too: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Movie ... eleaseDate
Now the difference here is, there are no free movies. Rather, what you will find for free is the occaisional free 10 minute preview of certain movie releases or some misc. behind-thhe-scenes stuff, either for newer releses or older tiles. I've been known to find some BTS stuff for older 007movies, for Prometheus, etc. Basically, it's luck of the draw here.

Now if you want to do the search from within the Zune software, I basically use simillar methods. At one point I used to look at Top Episodes & Top purchases lists from within the software because ppl would catch on to what's free, those would become popuar, & hence become easier to find, *HOWEVER* as of late I noticed that these lists were seemingly not ein updated, so it's safe to say that these should be ignored... at least for the time being, anyways.

While not actually a free video (but in the spirit of the thread), act_deft pointed out this freebie on Popcap's site - free Peggle. Here is the link: http://www.popcap.com/promos/pax-east-2013

Also, Storage Wars (Season 4, Episode 1) is free on Zune/Xbox Video. Here is the link to that: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/TVSho ... 52b16f#Ep1

**EDIT** I neglected to mention another (older) freebie that probably won't be free for much longer - the pilot to Bates Motel on Zune. Here's the link: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/TVSho ... ffce72#Ep1
