Got mine a month ago, cashed in at Walmart
Beware they compute the tax before they apply the coupon so you don't
really get $40 off

Requested mine as soon as they started taking applications. Received
about 3 weeks ago. With the coupons was a short list of stores,
complete with addresses, that should be selling the boxes. Went to the
corner Walmart and redeemed for 2 of whatever was in stock (believe it
was RCA). Tax is charged on the pre-coupon price. Final cost was ((2x
$50) + 8% tax)-$80 =3D $28 for the 2 boxes.

Have heard that there will be some $40 boxes coming out in the summer,
which makes the box cost ~$3.20 after tax.

You have a 90 day window to use the coupons. So, you might want to
hold on to your coupons for a month or so after you get them, see if
you find any of those $40 boxes.
