Sent off for the hamper but too late for the Xmas one so it will be the 'seasonal' version. It all adds up to a superb deal. I certainly wasn't aware that it was an employees only or a 'preferred partners' type scheme. My order wasn't questioned and my CC was debited fairly promptly without question. I can find nothing to exclude the general public from purchasing. The EX470 is still included in the offer - go to the hamper website to find qualifying items.

I have had the EX470 since it was released and would buy the EX495 in a heartbeat if only it were available. In fact amongst my group of friends that would amount to six sales. As it is the EX490 is not much of an upgrade to my expanded EX470 to warrant the expense. Way to go HP...
