[Best Buy](http://bestbuy.com/?ref=hypebot.com) is offering a free bonus with every purchase of a $9.99 – $13.99 album from an Interscope label act like Black Eyed Peas, 50 Cent, Timbaland and others. The only problem is that what their offering in exchange for the purchase – a download of Twitter utility Tweetdeck – is already essentially available for free.

To be fair to Interescope, according to [TechCrunch](http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/28/holiday-deals-best-buy-promotes-interscope-cds-with-free-tweetdeck-app/?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+Techcrunch+%28TechCrunch%29), this is a special custom version of Tweetdeck that comes preloaded with the Twitter feeds of a bunch of Interscope acts that you may or may not care about hearing from. If you want to save the $9.99 and up and spare yourself the pointless tweets, you can download a free no strings attached version of Tweetdeck [here](http://tweetdeck.com/?ref=hypebot.com) or the free Tweetdeck iPhone app [here](http://www.tweetdeck.com/iphone/?ref=hypebot.com).
