Panasonic DMP-BD35 and DMP-BD55

[cafe601]

I saw the deal where if you buy the Panny 35 and 4 movies from amozon they knocked $100 off the price and there was also another part of the deal that if you sent in the UPC and a copy of the receipt you could get two blue rays for free. I found the site once but now that I'm ready to send the stuff in I can't find the site to print the rebate form.
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks

yep, I actually am thinking of getting rid of my ps3 and picking another one of these up, since I got my xbox back, its just been used for playing games and so far, This thing is a little ahead of the ps3 for me as far as usability!

Why would you say that?

Wow, it looks like each new BD release brings a new host of potential problems that will send CE manufacturers scrambling. Thankfully, Panasonic seems to be among the most reliable in that area.

Nice having your own lab. You do notice that many firmware patches with Panasonic come out before the movie is released?

Yepp, Panasonic has been doing this for awhile. One reason why itd be hard for me to stray from their BR players.

Bleary eyed and just finished reading thru this thread. GREAT info. it has helped me decide to get off the fence and buy a BD55. ) I am planning to order it very soon. Looking on Amazon today and yesterday, I do not see any movies bundles to go with the BD55 for $342.90 with free shipping. Am I missing something, or does that offer come AFTER you initiate a purchase.

As someone asked earlier here, any ideas if Amazon might spring for a 'sale price' any time soon. I am not familiar with Amazon's ways.
Thanks and thanks to all for the great discussions and answered questions.

Congrats. No telling when the sale price might come, Id pull the trigger now, but Im an impule buyer
