Yeah, I'd say it's close enough. You didn't get your original bait, but you are switched onto something else. Maybe this is a "subgenre"?
Seriously, though, there are many techniques to this. I'm sure the more "classic" forms of bait & switch used similar methods. "Oh yeah, it'll be on back order....but you could have this one
now, eh?" I'm sure that's an old line with this kind of thing.
