Has anyone ever heard of Five By Five Digital (Five by Five) before? I've just recieved an apparently free copy of UT3 (the deluxe edition!) from them, only I've never heard of them and I can't work out how they got my address!

You actually have the physical game through the mail? I'd be very skeptical and would wait for the bill to arrive from them saying there had been a mis-print/error and that you should either return the sealed game or pay for it.
Their site has contact details so you could always phone/email and ask why.
If it was personally addressed and all, and you work in an appropriate position for them to consider direct marketing of themselves to you, then... lucky git![]()
I dunno, I used to be in marketing but nothing to do with games at all. The only things I can think of are a) I've won some competition that I've forgotten I entered or b) it's got something to to with a games careers fair I went to a few months ago and I just got randomly lucky.

Check your credit/debit card statements with owl's eyes for the next few months, to make sure you haven't been had.

If it is genuinely unsolicited, and they've sent them in the course of a business and then make a demand for payment, they're committing an offence. This is precisely because some companies used to do exactly that .... send unsolicited goods then send an invoice. It's now illegal to do it and has been for some years.
If you receive unsolicited goods (and that isn't the same thing as a company you've ordered from making a mistake and sending the wrong goods) then the recipient can treat the goods as an unconditional gift and use them, sell them or stick them on a bonfire, as he wishes. Just be sure they're actually unsolicited before disposing of them. This is part of the Distance Selling Regulations.
But were it me, and someone genuinely made a mistake, they could have their goods back at their cost, and that doesn't include me paying for postage then trying to get that cost back later. Any conditions they tried to impose about the being unsealed or not is their problem, not mine.
