Will the 5-free Blu-Ray DVD rebate be reissued after Jan. 31?

Of course anyone here will tell you to run right out and buy a PS3 today. But if you're wanting to wait, wait. Chances are high there will be some sort of promotion going on... they still need format buy-in from SDVD owners.

That said, I was not thrilled with the selection either, so I traded/sold a lot of mine and got ones I did want. There's always someone out there who really wants to watch The Omen.

Without a receipt? Hell no. At least not at BB or CC. Maybe at Wal-Mart (even though they keep track of all receipt-less exchanges and you get about four of those a year if I'm not mistaken) also the Wal-Marts in my area have really crappy selections. It may come to that. Although I'm probably more inclined to re-sale on eBay or something.

Why not at BB or CC?

The only problem I see is the barcode on the back doesnt match, but I can say I got it as a gift and they didnt tell me wherre they got it from

Because I've tried this and they always tell me I need a receipt. Then I naturally say it was a gift, and they reply with.. "Well I'll look it up in the computer then.." They can apparently keep track of all local and non-local transactions.. I've tried at both places.

Damn, I was really hoping to unload these poor excuse movies when they arrive in 10-12 weeks...If they take that long, they should give you choices, but only up to a certain amount

I was thinking maybe if I bought the movies and returned them, but kept the original receipt maybe I could re-return the free versions for cash back. But this could prove to be a failure because each receipt has a unique bar code to track transaction.. BB has really got their shit together, haha.. Cunning bastards..

Anyone work at Best Buy or Circuit City?

That's actually not true. You can return unopened Blu-rays to Best Buy or Circuit City without a receipt. I know because I've done it on more than one occassion, at both stores...and recently too.

Your mileage may vary strictly on which stores you visit, and the employee who happens to be working in customer service. I got a lot of Blu-rays I didn't want as gifts over the holidays, and I returned them all without store receipts. Most stores are usually more lenient about returns without receipts after the holidays. I've returned 2 blu-rays at two different Best Buy Stores, and 2 blu-rays at two different Circuit City stores. I got store credit for all 4 movies in the form of gift cards.

So, try it out...because I know when my 5 free movies come in from the rebate...I'm only keeping one.

"Um, yeah, I got these as gift for Memorial Day, and, uh..."

You could also buy the PS3 now, just don't open it until after you know if there is a better deal. If there is return the PS3 and re buy it within the new promotion window. If they do not extend it then keep the PS3 and fill out the form to get your 5 free movies. The form has to be postmarked by 2/29 to qualify for the current offer.

I have tried 3 of my local Best Buys and a Circuit City. They dont take returns w/o a receipt.
