>The whole page is a great example of black-hat marketing.

You mean similar to the Marketing tricks we now see everywhere?

The use of $X.99 or $X99.99 to subconsciously trick your brain into seeing a lower price point

The use of bold fonts to re-enforce the message

The choice of colors - Eg: Hollywood with Blue and Orange for posters and covers to enforce the cool and energetic feel.

I can agree that the page uses clever marketing but seriously black-hat? Not even remotely close.
