Anybody who shops for electronics should know about rebates. Where have you been? I cannot remember the last time I saw a good deal on something in a computer store that didn't involve a rebate. Best Buy does a great job of making sure you get the rebate. They print out the form with clear instructions for you at the cash register and hand you evrything you need in an envelope including a copy of the receipt to mail in. I worked at a competitor a couple years ago. At the time I was told about 60% of the rebates go unclaimed. It is the unclaimed rebates that pay for the ones that go claimed. I make sure I claim all my rebates, still, I miss one now and then.
