Normally, I wouldn't post a price announcement for a vendor, but a lot of the people discussing Handmark Monopoly when it was originally announced remarked that $30 was to expensive for a game.

Just thought I'd point out that CompUSA and Handmark are offering $20 rebates on both Monopoly & Scrabble. (This rebates seems exclusive to CompUSA.) Better yet, these are SKUs that aparently include both PocketPC & Palm versions. Here's the URL for Monpoloy: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=298541/. Note this offer expires Dec 14, 2002.

Mind you, I normally avoid rebate offers due to the hassle of sending them in and then making sure the vendor really honors the rebate. Vendors like to do rebates instead of simply cutting the price, because they know a large percentage of people never send them in. I assume CompUSA will honor their rebate but you never know. Caveat Emptor.

The link to Monopoly is a PALM link!

They don't seem to have the games for Pocket PC unless I missed something. I would love to get Scrabble with a $20 rebate.

Weird! CompUSA screws up again! Here's a link to "Scrabble for PocketPC" listed under Palm OS compatible software! No online rebate form. I wonder if it's in the box and whether the Dec 14 date is final rebate acceptance data or purchase date?

I've fired off an email to Handmark.

UPDATE: It satates on the CompUSA web site that rebate dates are invoice purchase dates so the rebate might be valid until tomorrow. Also, to find MOST of the Pocket PC software, look under PALM OS!

I had the same concern you had -- that this was the Palm only version, so I actually went to the store. I was surprised to find that the SKUs on the rebate coupon (10971 and 10972) are new boxes that include both Palm & PocketPC versions. (For Monopoly, there was an older Palm only SKU on the shelf, but it didn't have a rebate.)

I'd be really surprised if you get something different from the website.

As for online rebate form: http://www.compusarebates.com/coupons/0249086.pdf, -- it's right on the page I linked to, just hit the red "Rebate" tab.

I had my pop-up stopper enabled which prevented the PDF window from opening. ALL is well. I'm going to stop by CompUSA on the way home and see if they have it. That way I don't have to pay the $.01 shipping charges!

Plus I get it sooner!
