KEVIN:
Your SIRIUS Satellite Radio rebate submission for 50.00 has been received. Please allow 8-10 weeks for processing.
The second, at 12:48p, PST (again, I can't explain the time differential -- 4:55a to 6:49a is one hour, 54 minutes but 12:03 to 12:48 is 45 minutes. See Intertron, supra):

Your SIRIUS Satellite Radio rebate submission in the amount of 50.00 has been processed. Your check will be mailed shortly. Please allow 2-3 weeks for completion.
Ok, I can deal with that. My guess is that SIRIUS received on the order of hundreds of thousands, if not close to one million, rebate requests right around the time I submitted mine. Maybe I'm optimistically assuming everyone submits rebate requests, but suffice it to say they received a lot.
So, 50 bucks headed my way soon. Nothing bad to say about that.

Still no word on mine from mine, mailed off December 28th. I need the money now as I just scored an XBOX 360 tonight and I have to upgrade this core clunker to the full monte and get the hard drive and wireless controllers (Already got the HD cable!)
Congratulations on the X360! I'm not sure when I'll have one. Probably once some must-have games (for me) come out, like Gears of War, Splinter Cell 4 and maybe Topspin 2.
Sean: What a nightmare. It's the worst when you do everything you're asked and you *still* can't get what you're entitled to. So far I've only received the emails I quoted in my post, so I can only assume and hope that a check is actually on the way.
I think complaint letters are worthwhile, especially when you've followed the proper procedures and a company still isn't fulfilling its part of the bargain. I wish you good luck and I'll be sure to update my blog when and if I receive my rebate.
