If you were one of the people who ended up investing in the losing side of the format wars before February 28th, 2008, you can get something out of it; other than being laughed at by Sony fanboys, you have the opportunity to get a quick-and-easy $50 store credit to Amazon.com.
Not only do you get the credit, but you get to keep your fully functional HD DVD Player so you can watch all 10 movies you have for it! Read up on how to go about that after the break.
While credit is often times the consumer's enemy (it's all about the dollar bill ya'll) fiddy in Amazon credit can get you lots of cool things. For instance....
There's all sorts of things you can get on Amazon if you do a little searching, so go get your free $50 credit HD DVD purchasers and get spending!
Dear Amazon.com Customer,
As someone who purchased an HD DVD player from us before February 23, 2008,* you might like to hear about a special offer available from Amazon.com.
New technologies don't always work out as planned. We at Amazon.com value our customer relationships more than anything and would like to support customers who purchased these players by offering a credit good for $50 off any products sold by Amazon.com.** Just use promotional code XXXXXXXXXX when checking out. The code is valid through April 9, 2009, so you have plenty of time to use your credit. Purchases from third-party merchants on our site are not eligible.
* On February 23, 2008, the last manufacturer of HD DVD players announced it was ceasing production of those players.
** Offer cannot be used to pay for special-order titles, e-books or downloadable e-content, wireless service plans, gift certificates, gift-wrap, taxes, or shipping and handling charges. $50.00 promotional credit is per HD DVD player purchased prior to February 23, 2008--up to 10 units for a maximum credit of $500.00.
