I don't mind having the choice at least, years ago Amazon did this with their Kindles (or maybe they still do, dunno). You were given a choice on their Kindle order page, save 40$ on an ad supported version or full price and ad-free. It even stacked (At least once anyways) with other sales they might have been running.

I chose the ad supported model... and then proceeded to root it and remove the ads LMAO

I went with the ad supported model, and now I'm thoroughly sick of ads and Amazon, but unfortunately you can no longer root their devices, they've really locked them down.

I'm considering buying another tablet just because I'm so sick of Amazon's crap. I wonder if Free Geek has any decent tablets for sale?
