HD DVD owners get some relief
Some retailers, hoping to ease the anger felt by some customers stuck with an HD DVD player after it lost the format war to Blu-Ray, (or perhaps hoping to preempt being dragged into a class-action lawsuit) are offering rebates or extending their return policies.
Best Buy recently announced it's offering a $50 gift card to customers who bought one before Feb. 23.
Circuit City has also agreed to accept HD DVD player returns in exchange for store credit. It also extended its return policy from 30 days to 90 days after purchase.
