Amazon.com offers $50 credit on HD DVD purchases
The offer is good through April 9, 2009 so you have a full year to use the credit. Sure, it's not as good as getting your cash back, but unlike Wal-Mart’s offer which requires buyers return their HD DVD hardware and have the original receipt, with Amazon at least you get to keep your HD DVD player and use it as a DVD upscaler. This is surely a smart way to build goodwill with your customers when a technology becomes obsolete.

Although Amazon seem to have to do this from a competetive point of view, personally, I think the people who bought HD DVD players should pay for their mistake. |

People who invested in Blu Ray aren't in the clear either. There are still lingering doubts whether the so-called winner of this particular format war between them and HD-DVD will be widely accepted or not. |

LOL maybe HD-DVD will win the format war after all because people will be giving the players and disks away for free. |
