Online retail giant
Amazon has given $50 credit
to all customers who bought an HD-DVD player before 23 February, the date
Toshiba officially surrendered the format war.
In an email sent to relevant customers Amazon wrote: "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."
The credit is valid until 9 April 2009 but comes with certain provisos,
namely that it cannot be used to buy from third-party merchants on the site and
is not 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 customers who bought more than one player will receive the $50 credit
for each player, up to a maximum of ten units.
It is unclear if UK or other European customers will be given the same credit
as Amazon's UK press office was unavailable for comment, despite repeated
attempts to contact them.
