"You are receiving this e-mail due to your purchase of an HD DVD player from Amazon.com before February 23, 2008. As you may know, manufacture of HD DVD players ceased February 23, 2008, and major studios in the U.S. have ceased production of HD DVDs. In recognition of this development, Amazon.com is providing all customers who purchased qualifying HD DVD players a credit for $50 off any products sold by Amazon.com for each HD DVD player unit purchased from us prior to February 23, 2008, up to a limit of 10 per customer, or a maximum credit of $500 per customer."
I'd heard about this a few weeks ago, but doubted it was legit because I had never received said e-mail. After seeing it reported a few other places, I called Amazon, and sure enough, it is legit and despite the fact that I had never received the e-mail the credit had automatically been applied to my account. I've got to say, this is pretty cool on Amazon's part as well as the other retailers that are doing similar promotions. Do I wish HD DVD had won out? Sure. But I knew going in that it might not be the winner and accepted the risk in making the purchase. Certainly it was not Amazon's fault it did not win, so a big kudos to them for going above and beyond to satisfy their customers.
