That's a steal of a deal. I'd put up with no IFE on a SFO-FRA flight for 2 SWUs.
I've learned from my experience to not count on it (thanks DL LiveTV...). I keep a paperback in my briefcase, plus my laptops, ready for if/when this happens. Fortunately, my longest flights are normally ATL-California, so nothing too horrible.
