When you buy from a particular store, do you have to use that store's rebate form specifically? 'Cause sometimes there's a different selection. (i.e. my Crutchfield form doesn't have Troy)

the sales receipt from amazon will be the one that comes in the mail with the player... the rebate center won't accept the email confirmation for the free dvds!

Given that many titles on the Toshiba 5 free HD-DVDs form are Warner Bros. and Warner just announced they are discontinuing their HD-DVDs in a few months, should I be worried that they may run out of stock before they get around to fulfilling my movies in a few months?
I didn't send my rebate form in until after Christmas as the player was technically supposed to be a Christmas gift so I had to wait to open and use it. That means early March is the soonest I could hope to see my movies given the typical 2-3 month turnaround time. I still hope Warner has the HD-DVDs I want by then and won't just say "too bad" if they run out or send me a substitute I don't want. Substitutes wouldn't be so bad except I hear in many cases they destroy the UPC so you can't trade them in anywhere (last I checked my FYE won't take used DVDs with mangled UPCs).

I would imagine they'll have enough stock to fulfill the rebates. If the WB movies start to dry up, other ones will be used in relacement.

My first set of 5 made it today. Sent it in after picking up the 360 add on drive when BB had an incredible deal on it. Still waiting on the set from the $99 HD-A2 at WalMart. Sending them to my dad's address.

I just called and again they told me that I'm going to need to give more time for the processing. Processing started on October 26th and they are still processing my movies. I told the guy on the phone that I am going to contact the B.B.B. and have them contact this P.O.S. rebate center. It is very disheartening to see some people receive their movies within a month to a month and a half of when they sent in their form and I'm still "just in the system".
