Re: If they require a deposit?

the deposit is also like the $50 EMTA deposit, at the end of a set timeframe you do recieve the money back. I need to read up on it but it may be with interest same as with $50 EMTA deposit.

It's there way to make sure you just don't up and cancel on them or fail to pay your bill. Since I believe comcast doesn't lock people in with contracts.
That is the point of the deposit. To prevent people from signing up; getting the Wii; and then immediately canceling. The credit check is to see if they will be able to pay for the Preferred service.

Then it's not a FREE Wii. I mean, the question is, what exactly is the deposit? If it's to pay for the first 2 months of service, then that's one thing. If it's a security deposit, then the Wii is definitely not 'free', and should not be advertised as such. My guess is that it's a 3rd party offering the Wii, and it's not really 'free' at all.
That's exactly what I was thinking. A Wii is $249, so technically it's cheaper to just buy one in the store.

And if you have the $250 for the deposit, just go buy your own wii.
