The website is registered to a person in Alpharetta, Georgia, not Atlanta. It was registered on May 7, a full day after the announcement of the DX. Sounds like a scammer opportunist to me. The address of the website registration is in a residential neighborhood. The registrant's phone number does have a current listing to the Alpharetta address but this could be a red herring. I can't find the registrant's name in the Georgia corporation index or online. The closest I can come is someone with a different middle initial.
The street address used on the Contact Us page is located in the Buckhead condo building in Atlanta. There is no online presence for Promo Publishers nor can I find a business associated with that specific address. I'd be concerned that it's a maildrop location.
While it says, "PayPal, debit cards, and credit cards accepted" the link takes you specifically to a PayPal payment page. There is no option to pay without the involvement of PayPal.
This throws up so many red flags that I wouldn't suggest anyone try it.
Edited to add: I did some more searching and see that someone identifying himself as "David" is spamming a lot of DX discussion threads announcing the half price promotion and directing people to the website. David happens to be the first name used for the website registration.
