I don't know about having this thing fixed on my face for the sole purpose of getting super-human vision. Mr. La Forge wore a simular for years, and I don't remember him getting any action. As a matter of fact, he later upgraded to have somewhat normal-looking eyes.
Let's say I bought a $10 armoire from a garage sale and later found a $10,000 holder's bond attached to the underside of it left by the seller's long deceased grandma. The seller later finds out about the bond and wants to reclaim it. If I fight him in the court with the argument that the transaction has already taken place, I'll lose. The court will not reward windfall.
In the Amazon case, the buyers (intentionally or not) are getting a windfall from the transaction. As such, they won't be rewarded by the court. Granted none of them will end up in court given the relatively small cost of a DVD set.
Since our collective "morality" if you will are defined/judged by the court, the right thing to do in this case will be to either return the DVDs at Amazon's cost or be charged for the price advertised (buy 1 get 1 free).
