Well now Zzounds product pages for the XX-6 keyboards say the 
following, "***Note: Emu has halted their rebate program on this 
item. You cannot get a free ROM for this keyboard at this time. It's 
still a great deal at this price though!"

That's really clever; E-mu offers a rebate and adds a stipulation 
that the keyboard must cost over $800, and it's now impossible to buy 
one for $800.  Great rebate.
