Wow...I saw this crap personally just today at my local Best Buy, ironically with the $150 discount. I was there last week and almost bought a cheap PC, but the $150 discount was running through today, so I decided to set aside my impulse buy. Went back today and another sales rep says the price is only good if I buy a $200+ display. I pointed out the discrepancy with my prior info and he said, in essence, tough luck, and walked away. Asked another rep who it turns out gave the first rep the info that I had to buy the $200 display but said he wasn't absolutely sure this was true and would have to check with a manager. Then, as I was waiting, a husband and wife walk up, hand the first sales rep a copy of some ad and say "You thought I was lying, but it says right here that the speakers are included in the package price." BTW, I decided to skip the purchase.
