I saw on the news that if you apply for the coupon now, it will only be good for two-three weeks.

13. How long are coupons active?
Coupons expire 90 days after they are mailed. Each coupon has an expiration date printed on it.

That's good to know.

They also reported that the converters weren't in stock at the big box places like Circuit City and such.
Any truth to that?
