This is the best Ben can find for a Black Friday? Another indication that this Black Friday was a dude...
I think the best deal I found was the free Windows 8 registration

^ I'm surprised MS didn't shut down the free WMC key request page -

It use to take 24 hoursto get the key. Now they're up to 72 hours...

As long as they don't fix the bug i can wait, am not really in a hurry to run Win8 but maybe some year...
Use a spare hard drive in your computer and install Windows Ate, Find a KMS server and active the 180 day trial key, then apply the media center upgrade. Back it up or swap your old C drive back in. Then, your all set for when you're ready for Windows Ate. Give the classic shell a try. It makes Windows Ate more familiar to use.

^ I hear what you're saying but it's easier to stab myself in the eye with a spork.

Hmm, I asked for the key at 5PM on the 23rd, and just received it a moment ago, 172 hours later.
They had to fix their security hole with the Media Center Key. I'm sure it took them several days to do it. That's why the silence and long wait for the key from Microsoft...
They are running a $14.99 upgrade to Windows 8 if you have a relatively new computer. You have to enter that you bought it after June, 2012. If it's decline, calling to them will sometimes get you the discount code.

You can use the discount code for any computer you want to install Windows 8 Pro on but it's an upgrade version so you have to have previous version of Windows on it.
Also, you need to run the Microsoft upgrade assistant to use the discount code. It's a pretty slick program...
^ but wouldn't a fix have to happen on the software side, not the key side?
The fix would be on Microsoft's server where it accepts the key Microsoft emailed you to allow the installation of the Media Center add on (it's done by using the add features in Windows
. The issue is not the Media Center key itself but rather that the MS' server needs to check for a valid key on the Windows 8 installation on the computer before accepting the new replacement key and allowing the installation of the Media Center add on...
