If you purchased multiples, watch out for rejected rebates. Last week I checked www.wheresmyrebate.com and although it showed one of my rebates as approved, the other one was rejected with the reason "SAME RECEIPT WAS USED BY MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER BY SYSTEM-SEE 377". The rebate said "Limit FIVE rebates per person, receipt, household, family or address" so since I bought two of the things I naturally submitted the same receipt twice. So far, neither TCA, Gigafast, nor Newegg have responded to my written complaints.

Looks like this is kinda on again. The PE902-EBX model is $20 after this $40 rebate. Looks like the rebate limit is one unit. But, shipping is free.

I *think* this is a newer model than the one originally discussed in this thread. That model is now $27 without a rebate and also is shipped free.

Can anyone comment on the differences between these models as well as this technology?

It looks like the -EBX is an updated model. Info from the GigaFast link:
"NEW! Improved software drivers & diagnostic tools
NEW! Sleek mini plastic casing
NEW! Improved network bridging capability"

See the link at:
GigaFast 902-EBX

Given that the -EBX appears to be an updated model, AND its cheaper that the -EB, it looks like the -EBX would be the way to go. .....or better yet, go wireless....

I'd stay away from this until they have a new rebate that allows multiple purchases. Unless you already own other HomePlug gear, buying one is not going to do you any good.
