Is it a Halloween miracle? Not really. But it is good news for buyers looking for a 1080p bargain projector. Projector People has just acquired shipment of brand new Panasonic PT-AE3000U projectors. And they are in stock and ready to ship, right now!

Last week we received a call from Panasonic saying they have located an additional pallet of AE3000U’s in their warehouse. Since this was such a great unit, even though it’s not the newest model (Panasonic PT-AE4000U), we went ahead and bought their found boxes. With strength of the product, and the $1799* price point, we still think this is an excellent value.

By the way, these are new units, not open box or refurbished, and they have the full factory warranty, including the additional 2nd year warranty rebate through December 31st, 2009.

Quantities are obviously very limited, so if you are interested act fast!

If you have purchased a Mitsubishi projector with a rebate over the past year or so – and have not received your rebate yet, then this may affect you. We post this primarily to ease any concern from our customers who may have purchased a Mitsubishi projector with a rebate recently.

The company that Mitsubishi had used to manage their rebate payments has declared bankruptcy, which means Mitsubishi will have to find another provider soon, or manage the rebates themselves. It is possible that there will be some delay in processing, but Mitsubishi still plans to meet the requirements as posted in the rebate documents.

Mitsubishi has assured all of its resellers that they are already working on securing another promotional agency to take over, but warns that it may take some time. However, they also provided to answers to what are likely to be the most common questions from our customers. We have posted their two question Q and A below.

We hope this answers any questions you may have. We will keep you updated if there are any changes to the situation. This should be just a short term bump in the road for Mitsubishi, and will not likely have an effect on many consumers. However, I wouldn’t expect any aggressive new end-user rebates on Mitsubishi projectors till they get the details nailed down.
