  Looks like a ploy to get big initial box sales at the risk of losing potential subs, later.  Also sounds like the ploy of a company so deep in the red that they may have to close shop soon if they don't get the target sales they were looking for.
  
  

  My guess is, in a few months they'll have to reneg on that policy, if they don't already plan to.  Or they plan to have a free trial fairly early on and will consider THAT your free initial time if you sign up.  Either way, it's still offering less than competitors in a bad economy.  They'd better not have any other choice or they are fools.
