they&amp;nbsp;mentioned was a trade in for speaker upgrade to BL 9 or BL 5&amp;#39;s.&amp;nbsp; Trade-in value for Pentas, BL-6000 to BL-1 $1,000&amp;nbsp;towards the BL-9 and&amp;nbsp;$2,000 for the BL-5 as I recall.&amp;nbsp; Now the free&amp;nbsp;Beo5 with&amp;nbsp;for purchasing a &amp;nbsp;BL-2 would be an offer that might push me off the fence!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But I&amp;#39;m sure the cost to program the Beo 5 is &amp;quot;not included&amp;quot;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/05.gif" alt="Wink" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roger&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Free Beo5 !!</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/99191.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Mar 2008 03:51:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:99191</guid><dc:creator>KingStreet</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/99191.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=99191</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt;

If you already own a product ( verified by previous warranty registrations ) then as andy posted earlier, buying a qualifying Beolab speaker gets you a complimentary Beo5.&amp;nbsp; On the less expensive models this is a stunning offer in percentage terms - and still a very good offer higher up the range.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For new customers, the offer of a Beo5 is made when buying a TV and a pair of Beolabs - now you could view this as not as generous - a kinder interpretation would be its still a good offer - the best part of &amp;pound;500 -&amp;nbsp; and by not needing to purchase a TV ( they may be audio only, or already own a TV ) exisiting owners are simply getting a &amp;quot;Thank You&amp;quot; as well. &lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/21.gif" alt="Yes -  thumbs up" /&gt;

It&amp;#39;s a little more complicated than that.&amp;nbsp; This is a national promotion and the offer is, if you buy a TV and add a pair of speakers (from the list that you have posted Andy) or you buy an audio system with an additional pair of speakers (a link room in other words) then you get a free Beo5.&amp;nbsp; The full details are available from your local dealer.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Free Beo5 !!</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/98696.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 17:31:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:98696</guid><dc:creator>joeyboygolf</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/98696.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=98696</wfw:commentRss><description>So be prepared for loads of them to turn up on eBay!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Free Beo5 !!</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/98688.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:53:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:98688</guid><dc:creator>Jandyt</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/98688.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=98688</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Looks like someone has been reading Lee&amp;#39;s poll.&lt;br /&gt;My dealer is offering a free Beo5 with any pair of 5s, 9s,3s, 8000s, 6000s 4000s, or a BL2 or 3500.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Andy T.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
