So my buddy bought a ps 3 a couple weeks ago but he's not exactly up on the latest information so he was clueless about the 5 free blu ray promotion. He threw the box away and as most of you know, you need the upc symbol to send in order to get the movies. Is he SOL or is there some way he can still get it?

W/O the UPC, he's pretty much SOL.

Why would you thow the box away after just a couple of weeks after purchase? Especially on an expensive electronic item. = SOL!

I just bought a Samsung P1000. (Supposedly crappy player, I know, but it was a price I couldn't refuse.)
Does this model still qualify for the 5 free disc promotion?

From my understanding ALL HDM formats are included on the disc offers.

But this seems to be the most current version of the promotion, and it doesn't specifically list the Samsung P1000 as a qualifying player:

Call them first to clarify. There should be a 1-800 number on the rebate form.
