   Rebates suck–period. They are just another way to rip people off–always have been, always will. That’s why I almost always buy online from newegg and not TigerDirect. TD has some great prices, but every last thing they sell has a rebate. Sometimes I think the air in the box comes with a rebate. Newegg is usually (not always) a little bit higher, but if they have a rebate, it is on an already great price. I just don’t have the patience for rebates, I guess…
