Must be a marketing thing. Not uncommon. There's a matching
story about Polaroid accepting 50's era models in trade for a
discount on 60's models, then tossing the lot of them. (To be
exact, the published folklore said they in this case were tossed
into a warehouse but I don't think they actually knew).
