The scoop:
Okay, you knew there had to be a catch. I hate this phrase more than anything else, as I consider it to be a 6-8 week loan with no interest. The phrase? Mail-in rebate. Now, before you run away screaming and crying, realize it is for only $8, so you cough up $8 in advance, and in 6 weeks you get an $8 check in the mail that you entirely forgot about. It will be sure to brighten up your day! Chances are that if you live in the US, you have an Office Max store near you. This week (March 30th - April 5th) they are essentially giving away these Labtec Spin-50 speakers, with a $2 instant rebate and an $8 mail-in rebate. Cringing at the thought of having to creep outside of your computer cave and mail the rebate? Read this review and you will start to believe that the people at Office Max are crazy for giving these speakers away.
