Don't you know that being able to afford an item is no longer a pre-requisite for actually purchasing said item? Have we learned nothing from the mortgage and credit card companies?
I just purchased a very expensive watch, you bet I looked for a good deal. Virtually everything I buy is for 20-75+% off retail and I know exactly what I am getting myself into before buying. This allows me to have more for less.
People with money don't piss it away just because they have it. It is the stupid people who blow money the second they get it, and the smart ones who think through their purchases. Promotions like this will certainly push a lot of people to buy - it is a good value (not to mention, if you get a nice discount on the receiver itself + getting the free BD player).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Just out of curiosity, if someone can afford over a grand for a new receiver right now... do they really qualify as 'distressed' in this recession?
