Mine did too. 80 bucks off. Not bad, although the only downside is that it is not eligible for a REI member refund if you use the discount.

Got my 3 housing for 200 feet, Xshot monopod, Polar Pro Red/Macro coming as well... all in time for Cabo Pulmo next week. Now I am debating with myself, to LCD or not to LCD?

LCD might last through a whole dive if you don't continuously record. I've found that it's usefulness is not enough for me to warrant the possibility of running out of battery. I got less than an hour on mine and that was with turning it off when not in use and sporadic recording. Give it a try, it may work out with your style of filming. If i'm going to do lots of macro, I would definitely use it then. Also keep in mind that the screen is not sharp enough to be able to tell if your out of focus on close-ups.

Mono-poles are good for getting close to things and into crevices. They are also notorious for shaky video but then again my video is shaky regardless. ;)
