1000 FREE American Airlines aadvangage Miles for Bose b&m VideoWave demo

I did a demo of the VideoWave system during my lunch break earlier today and was impressed with what I heard/saw. Essentially it's a 46" HDTV (1080p) with an integrated proprietary BOSE sound system with 16 speakers built-in (hence the thick 6" back panel) and it connects to a console box that has multiple inputs for a BD player, gaming console, etc. TV does not have any tuner capability. The sales person said the panel is made by Samsung. The remote is pretty cool especially the touch-sensitive click pad. An iPod dock is included.

By the way, I liked how they had the fake speakers and subwoofers (covered with a black cloth) to give the impression that you were listening to them and then the sales person removes it and flatten them. LOL!

It's super-expensive at $5K for a mandatory white glove delivery and setup and there is a deal for $500 credit if you trade in your old TV and also get 10,000 AAdvantage miles if you buy a system. This is ideal for those who have the $ and don't want to deal with cables, speakers, etc. and want a clean minimalist system. But who can afford it? If they had priced this at $1500, it's a different story.

After the demo was done, I gave the sales person the flyer that I got from AA and he entered all the data including my AAdvantage FF#. No confirmation/printout whatsoever other than "it's all set."

Let's see if the miles post in a few weeks/months.
