Anyone have some advice? PS3 rebate dilemma.

[divedeeper]

Howdy all.

I recently just purchased my 2nd PS3.

I got this one as a blu-ray player for my parents, as a aniv. gift. Gotta get them started as another Blu house! Well, I Had it shipped from amazon directly to them. Then, I was expecting to go help them set it all up when I got into town next.

So, I show up this weekend, to get it all hooked up only to find my Dad (bless him) had already done so. He said he had a neighbor help him and that "HDMI is easy".

Well, all seems good, we went to blockbuster and rented a few. Then I remembered the rebate offer of 5 free movies. I asked where the box was, and of course. They threw it out.

I was beside myself, but I didn't want to show it as I didn't want them to feel bad.

Any advice out there on what I can do? would you think they would accept a photocopy of the UPC? I can probably find one someplace.

*sigh. I hate to miss out on those great movies.
I have a valid recept, but no UPC as the rebate requires.
Any help or suggestion would be apreciated.
