Amazon: $50 to HD DVD owners

I emailed them about this as soon as I got it. to see if i can get another 50$ for my second HDDVD player.

Hah, haaaah! I don't know what I'll use my 50 for.

Although I bought my HD-DVD player on Amazon, I bought it through Tiger, so no $50 for me... No biggie I got 5 cards from Best Buy this week.

Well I already spent my 50. One year of Xbox live and a Screen protector for my Zune. I only had to pay 1.16... and chose free shipping.

I didn't get an email! Where do I go to get my $50?!

How awesome!

This definitely makes me feel better.

Did anyone NOT get the email from Amazon??

I am good with an HD-A35, and a pair of HD-A30's purchased before February 23 that were sold direct through Amazon and not any 3rd party merchants.

I never received an email from Amazon, even checked the spam filter and nothing there either.

I guess if I don't hear from them today that I'll have to call and request the $50 offer.

According to Henning's story, the $50 rebate is cumulative up to as many as 10 players, so I guess they owe me $150 of store credit

What better way to spend the credit, than to go back and buy a lot more HD DVD's on the cheap, and probably a few Blu Ray titles as well

I only hope that I get to see the email before my wife does, or I'll end up with an extra $150 of her books around the house, instead of my HD Discs.

lol. cipher.


well guys it worked just fine. they gave me another 50. for having a second player.

this is the reply from them

Cool beans Kuco!

i never thought best buy would lead the industry in anything.

OK, I just got off the phone with Amazon.

They never sent me an email, but they got everything fixed in about 5 minutes on the phone.

They offered the $50 bounce back for the XBOX 360 drive I purchased before 2/23 as well.

2 HD A30's
1 HD A35

Total $200 Bounce Back Credit, and it's good for purchases for 1 year.

Amazon ROCKS !!

Now what to buy with it???

And if they eventually also decide to offer a credit for the actual HD DVD's I purchased from them as well

torrlisand, Have a question, what kind of order do you have to make to be able to use the 50.00
credit? Does any one know for sure?

direct from amazon, not a third party.

and cipher. especting something for the hddvds too i think is puching it.

Well one can only hope, I didn't demand the bounce back payments on my existing HD DVD players, so the next step might be a credit towards the HD DVD movies that were also bought directly from Amazon.

It probably won't happen, but I simply threw the concept out there.

This is great news for Amazon customers and Best buy too. Now how about some news for Customers of Future Shop in Canada!

I used mine to buy three more HD DVD movies. Mwahahahahah! I love AMAZON.COM! That means I got 10 movies for free with my HD DVD player, lol. And it only cost me $130. Gotta love that.
