Didn't see this on the first 2 pages.

I went to Fry's to visit my friend who works there and he told me the Fat1lty card was on sale for $130 with a $50 MIR. Got one for myself, hope its hot enough for you guys.

Nope. Had to click on the "Mail the form to me" button. I hate that, but I have always received my rebate forms from Fry's when requested. A word of caution - Fry's ain't the fastest, so make sure you send in the rebate as soon as you get the form from them so you get it in by the rebate deadline!
 
On your advise I bit the bullet even though I could not download the form.

This deal is just blazing hot considering that the new "stripped down" Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series (i.e, without the internal drive bay) is selling for the same price at Circuit City with no rebate available.

Let's see how long it takes Fry's to mail the rebate to me.
 
I've been watching for a good deal on this card and this seems pretty good to me so I too bought one. I could not get the rebate to load from the Fry site so I asked them to mail it. The shipped price from Frys was $158.80 for me. For what its worth NewEgg has the card for $152.33 shipped but no rebate.

I brought one of these cards when they first came out and thought I got a good deal at $253. I still like the card but you'll need to download and install the latest drivers. There were lots of bugs in the ones that came with the card originally. First load the complete set of drivers from the CD that comes with the card. Then update the drivers from Creative. I was not able to just install the downloaded driver set without first installing the ones off the CD.

 
I got in on this early this afternoon as well, thanks icyxwindz for the heads up.

Has anyones order moved from *in process*

I've never received the requested rebate forms from them.
Not a single one.
I've asked for at least 4 forms within the last year.
 
This one is real tempting but I'll hold off if/until the rebate form is online. Too much potential for headache if I have problems getting the form sent from them...

They don't email the rebate forms.
That's what the request page says:

"To receive a rebate form via postal mail, please fill out the form below."
 
Pretty big rebate on their gamer's card. It makes me think that they are going to release an updated version of it soon.
