So I checked my bank account (via online banking) and the shipping/handling cheque has been cashed. Should be getting my discs pretty quick if that's any indication.
And I can't remember if I sent anything in for S&H! Anyone have a contact number?! If I ain't gettin' them soon, I have to take advantage of the latest sales!
I bought an open box XA2 a couple months ago at Best Buy for $250, and it came with a extra rebate reciept and 5 free rebate form to send in, so hopefully I qualify even without the player being "new". I also got 3 free instantly in store. I guess I'll find out in another month or so whether I'll get my 5 free discs.
Ric, I got my A3 right about the same time you did and sent in my rebate form about 1-2 weeks after, in early December. I finally got my 5 free HD-DVDs yesterday. A friend of mine is still waiting on his too, but hasn't gotten them yet. He got his play about week after me.
It seems like there's no consistency as to when orders are fulfilled. But I certainly didn't have to pay S&H, so I'm not sure what's going on there.
