It's a one item Woot-Off, with some amusing little twists in the images (and I bet there's a Bag O' Crap at some point, to catch everyone unawares.)
I agree with Steven E. McDonald. They've been varying the number of items in each iteration, but that number has been steadily decreasing. I imagine a BOC will show up after the entire country has had a chance to catch on to this woot-off, and they sell out of these things entirely.
a boc popped up around 11:30 ny time & i'm sure there are more to follow.
On the vinyl CD's... I purchased them, but was mildly disappointed. They're not as neat as the ones made by e3works. I had a pack of these before, and the underside is also black, but I don't think they are made anymore:

Unfortunately, on the Verbatim brand CD's, the underside looks like any recordable cd, and the printed record image on top isn't a matte black.
