When the DX was announced, several newspapers stated they were going to have subsidy programs where the DX purchase price would be lower for those who committed to paid subscriptions. Other than that statement at the launch, I've heard nothing about any of these programs. Have I just missed the announcements/cancellations?

I probably would have jumped at just about any reasonable terms back in August or September, but instead I upgraded my Sony 500 to a Sony 300. I guess I'll just wait for the other large readers due to launch next year.
