The only way you are going to have a reduced price is to pay for a full years subscription up front ($119.40).
You're
absolutely right, and I couldn't agree more. It's a shell game.
All I can say is that based on the first order form that I received on 9/18 (version 4), my price for the armband, display, and a 12-month subscription would have been $659.00 before shipping and sales tax. With the order form that I received on 9/23 (version 5), my price for the armband, display, and a 12-month subscription is $467.40 before shipping and sales tax. Neither form had a packaged option that included the first "x" month's worth of subscriptions. And I couldn't tease that out of the CSR either.
Whether it's the packaged price that you received or the a-la-carte prices from the version 5 form, we're both ahead compared to the version 4 form!
With my anticipation level running high and my expectations following right along, I certainly hope that all my angst about whether or not to fork out so much money for the gadget is worth it.
