If you have a Micro Center near you (only 19 in the country), and want a 360, GO right now...they have a $100 mail-in rebate on it while current supplies last. I grabbed one this morning, and there were 2 people waiting with me when the doors opened. Probably won't be around too much longer.

to actually get the money back you're looking at 2-3 months.

No, no, no, my friend. I mean till ya get your money. The whole reason to buy on a rebate. I have heard of some major companys taking over 6 months.
If you see it at all. I bought a washer and dryer at Home Depot - was suppose to get a $100 gift card - ya right. Never got it. What are ya gonna do - sue'em.

They changed the terms!! They've switched the offer to be purchases from 11/12-11/15 only. HOWEVER, I downloaded the original offer forms which qualify purchases from 11/12-12/03. Let me know if anyone needs one.

Gotcha, I'm usually pretty good with rebates. I keep track of them even if they take a while. Even if one or two prove to be difficult, I'm still way ahead by playing the rebate game. :D

Dang, those microcenter guys are sneaky. Guess losing $100 on their entire in-store inventory was proving to be costly. I'm still good as I bought the thing yesterday. Almost every person I saw in there brought like three 'friends' with them. No brainer that a lot of them are just going up on ebay.

Hmm...uber-shady! I'm safe either way, but that stinks.

Umm, seems like there's a form for 11/12-11/15 and a form for 11/16-12/03 still up at their website. I'm sure they're either running out or already ran out of their stock. So they probably don't have much left to lose...
