Tiger Direct has the Toshiba BDX2250 Wi-Fi Blu-ray Disc Player for $80 - $50 rebate [Exp 5/5] = $30 with free shipping. Features integrated WiFi, surround sound capable, Netflix & Pandora streaming, and is BD-Live ready.
$30
Price makes it tempting but reviews are not good. Iffy $50 rebate on top of it. Pass for me. Aggravation any any price is no deal!
Agree. I will just keep watching my Roku
Not surprisingly after I place my order the rebate is gone. Man I hate tiger direct.
Really crappy reviews
What do you mean it's gone #3, ben's link to it works fine for me right now. However all the rebate form does is point you to a webpage to fill in an online form and mentions you need to mail them the usual things like the online form printed out, receipt and UPC. Online form:

#3 The rebate form is in the listing above, and the fine print looks like you should be qualified.
Bought one yesterday, Tigerdirect.com receipt said charge of $79.99 (said tax was $0), they ended up charging me $85.59 (they added tax themselves without my authorization). Called to have them fix it, customer service terrible. I'm refusing delivery and getting my money back. Never ordering from Tigerdirect.com again.
They must put some cookie in that takes the rebate away after you purchase because I had the same thing happen. See Dave_c's post to do the rebate online.
dougkim - the web site listed the states that sales tax will be charged - I saw this list when I opened the shopping cart. You do not have the right to decide when you pay sales tax and when you do not, state law does. Tiger must have a physical location in the state in which you live and as such, whether you are buying on-line or not, if they have a store or a warehouse in the state you live they are required by law to collect the sales tax.
I did not get charged for the sales tax but I am still supposed to pay the equivalent via what is called use tax to my state. I am supposed to add it to my state income tax return.
#8, while what you wrote is true, it does not override the fact that no company should add charges later that you do not agree to. If they state shipping is $0 they can't add a shipping charge later, nor state $0 tax then add tax later, nor an unspecified handling fee, etc. They could have refrained from mentioning $0 tax if there is tax applicable.
Since they clearly have a way to calculate the tax to add to the bill, it needs to be displayed before the customer clicks the submit or similar button to finalize the order. The tax is still owed but a customer still reserves the right to not buy an item if they don't want to pay the tax up front.
Agree with davc My main issue is not with sales tax, it's the issue of misrepresenting the total cost before I clicked "submit" to authorize them to charge me the amount they listed. It is a mistake on their part to avoid calculating this to mislead consumers into thinking they will be paying less than they should. If this is how they conduct business, and don't fess up to correcting their mistake, they don't deserve my business. It's strange how deserving vendors have no difficulty in linking a person's shipping state to a need to show the tax amount.
