The $200 TiVo Series 3 Rebate is out and can be downloaded here from TiVo.com or here from TiVoLovers.com .
It is a $200 mail-in rebate on the TiVo Series3 - this is only the original Series3 and not the TiVo HD. Purchase the Series3 between September 16th, 2007 and January 26th, 2008. The rebate must be postmarked by March 26th, 2008. You should also be able to submit your rebate online at http://www.tivorebates.com/
The key advantages of the Series 3 vs. the TiVo HD are:
A Series 3 can can be found for around $600, so $400 after rebate. This is about $100 more than what a TiVo HD will set you back.
Thanks to TiVoLovers.com for the info.

At CEDIA, TiVo announced TiVoToGo and MRV for the TiVo HD / Series 3 (as Pony did here last night). In addition, they also announced a new $200 rebate on Series 3 units. I'm guessing the Series 3 model is selling very slowly since the release of the (cheaper, nearly identical) TiVo HD.

TiVo announced at CEDIA a $200 rebate on the $899 Series 3 HD model.
TiVo said retail placement for the TiVo HD box has been very strong, and the Series 3 continues to be a popular seller with custom installers and A/V specialty accounts.
TiVo platform and product management director Andrew Morrison said the company plans to upgrade both units in November to support the TiVo2Go and Multi-room Viewing feature supported in its standard-definition Series 2 devices. Firmware updates are handled remotely using a broadband connection.
