Just got off the phone with the agent at HP. Placed an order for one and got the free shipping.
Interesting thing is that she asked me which one I want after I gave her the model number? I said what do you mean? She said well there is one here for $425 and another in the system for $500. After hearing that, and seeing the word "promo" show up on the order screen, I'm inclined to believe that these will be $425 for the first couple of weeks and then will end up at $500 MSRP. Of course this is simply speculation, however if they already have two different prices in the system I think the price may rise eventually.
