Yet thats exactly what you made it out to be by bringing up the PS3 TV deal, you are blantantly obvious with your intentions
Windows 7 phones arent doing so well early on and interest is low in them as well, throwing this promotion out there so early in its life cycle reeks of being desperate. Not the same thing as the PS3 TV deal, as it came a few years after release and its a combo deal, buy a PS3 and a Sony TV and get alot of money taken off. If you were to only buy a Sony TV you dont just get a PS3 free

To call it desperation is incorrect. This is more of a business tactic. They are attempting to claim a stake in a market that is dominated by Apple and Google. What they are trying to do is mass market penetration with these promotions. This does not guarantee success, but it hardy reeks of desperation.
The free game promotion is mainly aimed at Xbox 360 owners; it only targets the audience that already owns an Xbox 360 or a potential owner. The BOGO sales go on with all retailers with many phones at various times of the year. This promotion may also have something to do with the time of the year it is as well.

I would agree with you if it was later in the products lifetime, but Windows Mobile 7 has only been out for just over a month, and early reports are showing the products are a bust.

Those early reports (the links provided earlier) have no data to back it up. It is just conjecture and ancedotal evidence. MS blotched the launch of W7 phones in the US. I mean there weren't any in the stores for the release date; I think it was a week or two later that I started seeing availablitiy on At&t and various mobile websites.
The promotion for the Xbox games are just targeted at basically one audience. If it was really desperation, why would they one audience and not the mass market?
