Seems like a misleading title to me. I read it as saying that you have a choice of ordering without Flash at a higher price. In fact, Flash is a straight requirement no matter what, and they're offering a code for $5 off in an attempt to compensate people for the hassle of installing it.

So really, you're getting $5 off for starting the process without Flash. If you already have Flash installed, you'll never see this page and never get the discount code.

Obviously they should stop requiring Flash, but the title doesn't seem to accurately describe things.
