Props go to gssethi at that distended-wallet board for pointing out this deal; I added the Amex part to turn up the heat a bit.

Bestbuy.com has these for $79.99 + your local tax (free shipping), with two separate mail-in rebates totalling $30 (product link here). Go through ebates to get an extra 1% off (be still my heart), then do an AMEX BVG pricematch to Provantage.com's price of $48.62 here for a net of $18.62 + tax---looks hot to me.

Haven't bothered to dig up the usual review links on these puppies, but for about $20 bucks...who cares? You can always burn them for fuel. Failing that idea, they should be more than adequate for your kids.

Note that one of the rebates accepts a copy of the UPC, while the other insists on the entire product boxtop. You'll need a very large envelope!

Edit: price at Provantage is now $47.24, improving deal to ~$17 AR/BVG.

creative rebates always ask for the entire box top...imagine if you buy a HT from them with a $20 rebate...fact of the matter is that they simply state that so that the UPC is always on it...Creative's way of playing it safe

just so that you can shop for the biggest available envelope and keep debating if it is worth spending a fortune to get a miniscule rebate. You can just clip the UPC out and mail it..no problems whatsoever...call Creative to confirm it..but dont say I didnt tell ya..wonder which MBA wielding whiz-kid at Creative came up with that entire box top policy !!!
