I know, that's weird, they've removed the promotion now. Wonder if they had it messed up?

Well, Sylvania does sell BD players, but mating them with a Samsung HDTV seems incongruous to me.

well, thought it was my mistake at first because I've actually never heard of a Sylvania BD player before.

The link has been completely removed from Amazon's site, so I'm not really sure what happened other than 2 scenarios. One is that they already gave away all of the BD players they had to give, or the other is that they made a mistake.
