They've taken the "the first <n> people will also receive product <x>" approach, rather than "if <n> people buy the bundle then everyone also gets product <x>" approach. Given that DVDremaster Pro was the 'product <x>' in the example above, and given that they've now passed <n>, I wouldn't buy this bundle now.
