Thanks, John. I misunderstood you but now I am clear. I have an CM8000 which I
bought from CompUSA a couple of months back, will I still be entitled to the $10
rebate you mentioned earlier? BTW, thanks for giving out the website for
Ubi-Soft. I will see if it is practical to pre-order or wait for the CM9K
release say in the same store I got the CM8K.
