Instead of paying a simple $360 you would create an obligation/liability for yourself of another $318. I find that curious.
Is it a cash flow win (you only have $200 in your pocket and you want it now)?
Assuming you set aside the $20/month, you would have to wait eight more months to accumulate the one-time $360. Is that the trade-off?
Would you pay $678 up front and agree to buy $478 worth of content over the next two years? Help us understand how this works for you.

I can put my two cents in. For me it wouldn't be an issue of getting the cash for the device, but to be rewarded for using their store. I wouldn't want to pay it in a lump sum, but monthly, just like a cell phone. I already buy $30 in books or more a month. Maybe not a lot of people would go for it, but it sounds pretty easily executed.
