I received an email from Bell yesterday with a Theme pack offer (something I'd never heard of before). Pick 11 Themes for $40. I was wondering if anyone else received this?

Here's where the email links to: http://www.bell.ca/web/common/en/all_regions/images/pm/edm/2008_03_03_pick11/index.html

I'm sure there are some fine-print details hiding somewhere, but I can't find 'em.
 
I suppose it's a good deal. But that's the regular price and has been for a long time. One pack for $8; five packs for $20; 11 packs for 40; more than five packs, $5 each.
 
Is it 11 theme packs for $40
+ The Digital Standard for $30'ish
+system access fee
+ ??????
Sounds like a good deal, but I'm like you, thinking there is some fine print you are missing
 
I'm pretty sure that price has been in effect for a few years now; so it isn't really a "special." I have 11 theme packs and it shows up on my bill as $40; and has for over a year.
 
I think it is a great deal. Digital Standard: $31 (opt out of US nets) + $3 System Charge + $40 = $74 plus tax. Now comparitively to the Rogers Tier - I believe for Digital VIP it is now $61.97 so for about $12 you get lots more channels and the choice to change themes every month. Believe they have 20ish theme choices including interactive. It may have been out there for a year or 2, but has yet to be promoted by Bell.
 
this is a pretty good deal. I signed up for it today. Im paying a difference of 12 bucks for an extra 5 themes! so now.. i got just about all the tv themes except for Variety 2 and lifestyle 2( absolutely no interest in that pack).
Plus, if you get this pack and have the premium movies, they discount the premium movies to only 16 bucks a month so it is a pretty good deal considering all the facts.
 


Premium movies are 19$, and if you get more than 6 theme pack price drops to 16$/month...

It's not the fact that you got this package that lowered the price of you movies, but probably the fact that you added a sixth theme pack

Often agent who sees a client that have 5 theme packas and the movie will tell you they could add a theme pack for only 2$...they calculate that your movies will then be 3$ cheaper + 5$ for the theme
 
Who ever puts the channel packages together is brilliant. Every time I think I'm paying too much and consider my options of downgrading I come away thinking I'm getting a good deal. Go figure :confused:
 
I had the 6 themes + movies deal for awhile. For the extra $2 it's worth getting the extra theme pack. Once I dropped TMN, the 6th theme pack went as well.
