There's no question Amazon will stand by the $559 price if you ordered before the price hike. I think some people were a bit peeved to find out they may not be eligible for the additional $50 rebate, bringing it to $509 for those who ordered prior to the price drop, due to the order date being the same as the pre-order, regardless of the actual charge date. Sounds like that may not be an issue though; regardless I'm sending the rebate in and hopefully 8 weeks later I'll have a $50 card.
