Kyanar: Well, I just checked the OEM system builder site, and that is equally unhelpful. However the consumer site does say you have to provide details of the retailer or manufacturer you purchased your new PC from, and combined with mention of "preinstalled" I would assume that you must actually buy a PC, and that you cannot just buy the parts.
nathan: Unless it meets these conditions, it would not qualify:

pryannz: I see MS NZ are showing the $19.99 NZD upgrade for Windows 7 PC's purchased between 2 June 2012 and 31 January 2013:
https://windowsupgradeoffer.com/en-NZ
But no mention of the 'cheap' $40-$50 general upgrade from XP, Vista, 7 (prior to 2nd June 2012).
Stuff.co.nz mentioned a $49.99 offering for the upgrade today but quickly amended their article. PC World NZ also mentioned something similar back in July:

MS shifting the goal posts?... they have got to have one of the best marketing / media relations departments in the Tech world.
