I just ordered my Slingbox online from buy.com (which is still advertising the free mobile software)  The pdf file doesn't say anything about registering your slingbox by Sept 16th, it just says "Purchase by Sept 16th" to get the free mobile software... but on slingmedia it says you must do both... I certainly won't have received it by the 16th as it has to ship.... can I fax my receipt in and still get the free mobile software?  if not I want to know so I can cancel the order before it is too late!

From Buy.com's website:

Purchase a Slingbox at Buy.com and receive SlingPlayer Mobile software FREE! (Register your Slingbox and receive a free registration key from Sling Media) Offer valid from 8/21/2006 to 9/16/2006

This says you must register by 9/16.  Not very clearly but hard to argue...

Thats a pretty vague thing for buy.com to do. It's basically talking out of both sides of its mouth.

Well, I purchased on the 13th, it shipped on the 14th and arrived today...the 16th!  I registered immediately and got my free mobile registration code. 

 Thanks to buy.com, with free shipping for 149.00 I got my slingbox and free mobile software!

Glad it worked out..

I still haven't registered mine...  Because I bought mine back in July, and Sling's web site said the SB had to be purchased between Aug and Sept..  I feel like I'm being punished for purchasing mine early.

I don't understand why Sling couldn't just make the offer to everyone who didn't register?  Isn't the whole point of using the incentive of giving free Mobile software so people will regsiter, therefore Sling can keep track of the sales of the SB itself?
