Vmware Fusion ad on homepage false advertising

[philosopherdog]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this message, or if it's been covered before. Is the Vmware Fusion ad for $14.95 a bit of false advertising? When I click on the link it takes me to a 3rd party retailer and they seem to be selling the application for $34.95, not the advertised price. Is this a trick, or am I missing something?

I think VMware has a mail-in-rebate that, coupled with the other site's low price, brings the final price down to $14.95.

The ad probably hasn't been updated. There was a $20 rebate on it through the 31st.
