Recently rapidshare announced the launch of a new reward program. Premium and free members with collectors account can now redeem their rapidshare points in exchange for some kewl gadgets such as USB Plasma Ball , Wi- Fi detecting watch , Atlas Mini 3-Channel R/C Helicopter…etc. You can check all rewards on their web site .

Its nice from Rapidshare to introduce such program – if not else it it one more way to deferentiate from their competitors. And yet is it worth it ? If not used for awards your rapidhsare points could extend your premium account or create a new one ( 10 000 points = 1 months premium access ). At the same time most of the awars that Rapidshare have now in their list seem a bit pricey . A limited T-shirt would take limited 150000 points – which is almost 2 years in terms of rapidshare premium time.

Most of the rewards offered by Rapidshare are from the catalogues of the ThinkGeek Website – which is need as I am quite found of their gadgets .

Note that you can only exchange one item per account !
