I must admit that I an disappointed with the false advertising of this deal. I also clicked on it and saw that it is for a drawing for a T-shirt. I won't click on it again. Between Tiger Direct deals and misleading deals like this, I become less tempted to click on any deals posted up there. For ads to be effective they must truly be deals. Lynn

We need to apoligize for the confusion. This was a communication problem between two AnandTech Staffers. The post has been corrected.

Many thanks to Longhair for bringing this to our attention so quickly.
