Windows 8 Upgrade for $29.99 after MIR

If you want to nab a physical copy of the Windows 8 Pro upgrade in case you want to upgrade a machine sometime after the January 31st promo expires, Newegg is offering a $40 Mail in Rebate off the current $69.99 price until December 16th.

I'm not planning to upgrade my HTPC at this point, (and if/when I decide to do that upgrade I might end going the whole hog and replacing the MB and CPU anyway), but for $30, I think I'll grab a copy. With the $10s for the Media Center add-in, it'll work out the same price as doing an image backup, then the online upgrade, getting the free Media center add-in, making a Win8 image, then re-installing the Win7 image, but it'll be a lot less hassle.
