Or perhaps you mean current Dish subscribers who weren't already Absolute HD subscribers...

I can only speak as a non-Dish user; the Absolute HD package deal was awesome for me in that it provided 99% of the channels watched in my home. I only wish I had signed up for it earlier.

I'm bummed because I have AT250+HD Ultimate, I should have switched to HD Absolute and saved ~$50/month, but now I can't even switch to TurboHD for the ~$30/month savings.
