Amazon.com HD-DVD Player Gift Card!
 

Just got an e-mail from Amazon giving me a $50 Promo Code good for 1 year for buying my Xbox HD-DVD drive way back in Nov 06:

Well that's pretty nice of them. I wonder if my friend ordered his HD-DVD player from them.

I ordered one from Amazon in '07. Didn't get anything in the e-mail yet, but it's kind of funny how HD DVD keeps paying off. I can't complain between all the discounts, BOGOs, rebate movies, and so forth that were offered for HD DVD. Getting and extra $50 is just icing on the cake if it comes through.

Got the e-mail today, too, then immediately used it to get Twilight Zone: The Definitive Season 5 and Enchanted

Wow is all I can say. I just read the e-mail from Amazon and was shocked that they were doing this as well. I had ordered HD-A30 on 2-20 as a backup player. I had purchased a HD-A2 from WalMart when they had the $99 special and I had also picked up a Xbox 360 add on drive from Best Buy when they had the glitch where you could get box sets as your 2 free along with Heroes. I haven't got my gift card from BB yet. The HD-A30 at Amazon was $129.99 when I bought it and now the least expensive new one they list on their site is $279.99 from a vendor . Weird. I guess they're a collector's item now. So maybe soon WalMart will do something similar.

Awesome! Just checked my email and the coupon was waiting for me!

Same here!

I got my A2 from Wal-Mart last December. I wish they'd get on board with this give back like Best Buy and now Amazon.

If you go to slickdeals you would know that Wal-Mart is allowing returns for Hd-dvd players

Who said anything about returning the HD-DVD player? That's not what we're talking about here. I'd like a $50 GC from Wal-Mart. These $50 GCs from Best Buy and Amazon don't require you to return your player.

I'm in that group, but haven't (yet) gotten such an e-mail. Rats.

You're not the only one. Must be doing them in batches.

Apparently this promo is good for $50 PER PLAYER up to $500...so if you bought a whole bunch of players, the one code you will receive will include the number of players you bought.

I don't have the fine print but I've seen this confirmed over at the AVS Forum.

Wow, I bought one from Amazon in July '07 and returned to circuit city using a friend's receipt. Also bought another in Jan '08 (when they included the 3 extra movies) which I sold on CL for what I paid for it. Can't wait to get my gift cards!!!

got mine :-D overjoyed!

Meearearrggh. I bought two HD players. If Amazon's passing some around, I want mine. I certainly didn't expect anything like this.

I noticed the date has a * next to it - is there some fine print to this?

I just checked and my purchase was Feb 22, but shipped Feb 23 (no email yet)

Bought a player in August and one in November and just opened my email with a 11:27am time stamp with my $100 gift card code in it. So far I only ordered Bonnie and Clyde Blu...I'll hold on to the rest in hope of a B1G1 or different B2G3 promotion.

Now if only Onecall.com offered this same deal (bought my A1 back in Sept '06), I would be set!

Bought my A30 from them in October - got the $50 code today. Another reason why Amazon is my favorite e-tailer. :D

Bought A2 in early August and nothing yet, but I was just wondering if they were going to join the party. Good for them - they will probably get my purchase when I buy a PS3 if they ever have a promo or price reduction.

I'll use it to buy more HD DVDs. :D

*fingers crossed*

I bought my A1 in September 2006. It doesn't look like they are doing them my purchase date.

Call them and request one.

My girlfriend´s mother bought it for me on her account on electronics expo via amazon, would she receive the email? If so, can she transfer the credit to my account?
