I am sorry you did not get to take advantage of the free lighted cover offer that is now popping up at so many of the
independent Sony retailers. I cannot agree with your assessment regarding consistency since the special bundles are
not a Sony offer, but are offers being made by
independent Sony retailers in an effort to compete with each other and to mitigate the price differential between the Sony manchines and the Amazon machines. Such is the nature of a free market economy. It tends to get messy, but overall the consumer generally benefits. Markets in which monopolies or oligopolies exist tend
not to have such pricing flexibility with the result that overall consumers tend to pay higher prices ala the Agency 5.
