What are these mail in rebates? Are they discounts or do I have to do something to get the money off the actual price. I counted the prices without the rebates and discount and noticed the pricing was about $100+ more than the actual price mentioned above. Again im strictly on a $1,000-1,200 budget . Could anyone explain as to how I would tackle this mail in rebate dilemma? Or provide more options on lower pricing. Thanks alot again and hope to hear from you again

First you have to pay original price and then ask for rebate, after this they should send you rebate through mail.
