Why do I get the feeling that "The Disney-Panasonic Rebate Group" is actually a single guy working out of his garage?

This seems to be the same e-mail they're sending everybody. Though they are actually paying attention to the e-mails, as I mentioned that I sent mine in January and they made note of that in the e-mail.
No mention of Heidi, though. 
I'm going to see if I can find my paperwork then see what they say.

Re: Free Blu Ray Movies with purchase of a Panasonic BD-35
I found a copy of my receipt that I had made but couldn't find a copy of my UPC or rebate form 
. However, I did notice another UPC on the box, so I scanned it. I wrote them back and attached the scan of my receipt and the UPC. I told them that I have misplaced the copy of the rebate form since I moved. I also said that I would gladly fill out another rebate form, scan it and return it to them if they could send me one. After all, my information needs to be changed, anyway. I also told them that since there are many people getting similar e-mails that I highly doubt they all got lost in the mail. Let's see what they say.
If anyone has a copy of the pdf, would you mind posting it or getting it to me somehow? The original site is down and I can't find a link anywhere else.

Congrats. I give you credit for staying with it. I wrote the one e-mail and wasn't going to bother with it anymore after that but was still surprised and thankful when they showed up.
By the way, the latest firmware is 2.0 for those unaware - http://panasonic.jp/support/global/c...5/bd35_na.html

Scanned another UPC on the box, scanned a copy of the receipt, and filled in a saved .pdf of the submission form. Emailed them last night, and had a response by noon today.
There was no way in hell I was going to let them off the hook and renege on a $50 commitment. Not gonna happen.
BTW, obidawsn, I still have that .pdf if you need it. Just PM me with your email address, and I'll be happy to send it to you.

It's on HH Gregg's website, but I believe it's the same rebate. I purchased mine from HH Gregg so I'm not worried about it. However, I've already sent an e-mail to them with my receipt and UPC. I'm wondering if I should send another e-mail with a copy of this rebate form. I may just see if I get an e-mail back from them today, and if not, then I'll go ahead and send another e-mail.

Re: Free Blu Ray Movies with purchase of a Panasonic BD-35
Looks like it might be a success for me, too...
The paragraph before that mentioned that they couldn't find any of my information. I realized I had e-mailed them using a different e-mail address than I originally used, so I was asking about that. They said that they couldn't find any information using my name or any of my addresses. But it looks like they're finally sending the discs. I just e-mailed them a scan of the copy of the receipt that I had made and a scan of the 2nd UPC on the box. So, I'll give it until next week to see if they actually ship them.

BTW, I feel stupid now. I posted this as soon as I got the e-mail, but ended up clicking on the wrong topic. I just realized it

Re: Free Blu Ray Movies with purchase of a Panasonic BD-35
Received mine today. After all these months, this thing is finally over for me. Maybe, now, I can consider throwing away my box. I'm glad I kept it this long, though. My wife came close to throwing it away once, then using it to box up some clothes we were donating. I rescued it both times. I'm glad I did, so I could use the extra UPC on it. Whew!

Re: Free Blu Ray Movies with purchase of a Panasonic BD-35
Yeah, it seems that's what you have to do. It seems they must have thrown out everyone's rebate information, as they can't seem to find anyone's. So e-mailing them gets their attention. It's almost like they decided not to fulfill the rebate, threw everyone's request out, but decided that if people contacted them to complain that they would just retake their information and send it. So hopefully you have a copy of all your stuff.

Re: Free Blu Ray Movies with purchase of a Panasonic BD-35
I want to say congrats to those of you who did, finally, successfully get your Blu-rays. As for me, despite contacting Panasonic and being told they want to make good and to resend (which I did) and finally as a last ditch effort even contacting Disney last September and being told I waited too long, I never got my discs. I really, really tried to get what was promised. This has truly been a frustrating experience. However, I am happy to say that I bought my player at Costco and returned it last night, thus bringing this to an end. I won't say that I will never buy anything Panasonic again, but I will certainly consider other brands first and ignore any rebate offers in my final choice.
