To anyone who was upset at the demise of HD DVD, Amazon has announced a credit for any early adopter who bought an HD DVD player before February 23rd of this year.
Anyone who purchased the player is eligible and should receive an email with a code for $50 USD in credit for a future purchase at the e-tailer. Recently, Best Buy announced a similar credit offering for early adopters.
The fine print of the email looks like this:
Amazon.com Special Offer: $50 Off a Future Purchase
Fine Print:
* 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.
You are receiving this e-mail due to your purchase of a qualifying HD DVD player from Amazon.com. Canceled or returned orders of eligible HD DVD players are not eligible for this promotion.
If you are ordering items to be shipped to more than one address, a separate order will be created for each address. The promotional offer will be applied to only one of the resulting orders.
Some promotional certificates and offers may not be combined with other claim code-based offers. Offer's cash value is 1/10th of one cent. Offer is not for resale and is not redeemable for cash. Offer cannot be applied to orders already placed with Amazon.
