Site Gives Away App Promo Codes, a Resource for Devs and Users Alike

If you’re looking for an interesting portal into the iTunes App Store’s 65,000+ titles with as little risk as possible, www.appgiveaway.com may be a resource worth checking out.
The website, which launched this spring and is gaining traffic steadily, posts descriptions of 5 – 8 apps per day in different categories (games, entertainment, utilities, business, etc.) and gives promo codes away randomly to users who register and indicate their interest in particular apps.
The site was originally conceived as a marketing vehicle for app developers, with the enticement for iPhone and iPod Touch users who like the idea of possibly getting a paid app for free.
“We seek out developers and they also find us,” said Al Lijee, an AppGiveAway spokesman, adding, “Developers have been kind and posted us in forums and are linking back to us from their websites.”
Posted apps currently get between 40 – 70 people registering for promo giveaways, Lijee told Cult of Mac, and the site gives away around 30 codes for each app it features.

Do free app codes still not work outside the USA? If so, worth adding to the story.

Promo codes currently work in the US online store only for sure and possibly Canada.
I am not sure if Apple plan on rolling the use of promo codes to other countries soon, I dont see why they shouldnt I have tried contacting Apple but they wouldnt release much in the way of information.
