Amazon offers $50 rebate

April 12th, 2008 by Edwin in Tech News

amazon-hddvd-refund.jpgFret not if you’ve picked up an HD DVD player before 23rd February (presumably out of curiousity, since Toshiba has already pretty much thrown in the towel by then) as Amazon will give a $50 credit to all customers who did so. This credit is valid until 9 April 2009, but will be accompanied by several provisions such as forbidding the purchase of goods from third-party merchants on the site and will not be eligible for special-order titles, e-books or downloadable e-content, wireless service plans, gift certificates, gift-wrap, taxes, or shipping and handling charges. Those (for some strange reason or another) who picked up more than one player will be able to redeem the $50 credit for each player, with a maximum of up to 10 units.
