It's not about the 5 bucks. It's about not being up front with your (future) customers. By paying the 5 bucks we commit to WakeMate, as silly as that may be. We no longer have the choice to get a fitbit because we already promised to buy a WakeMate.

I don't understand the comparison at all; they're completely different devices that serve different purposes. Additionally, you don't have to buy the WakeMate; I'm sure they'll refund you the $5. Even if they didn't, if that $5 is the clincher, then you're only proving Patrick's point.
