Best Buy to hand out 10M USD in gift cards to HD DVD purchasers
>> From tgdaily.com: [QUOTE] Best Buy today said that it will be sending out $50 gift cards to apparently more than 200,000 of its U.S. customers who purchased HD DVD players and Xbox 360 HD DVD units before February 23 of this year.
Best Buy is the latest company in line that wants to ease your pain (and quickly transition to Blu-ray), in case your high-def bets were placed on HD DVD. In prepared statement, the company's president and chief operating officer, Brian Dunn, said that "the DVD format war has divided our customers in a way we haven't seen since Betamax took on VHS more than 20 years ago."
In case you are wondering why Saturday, February 23 is the cut-off date: It is the end of the week, in which Toshiba announced to cancel HD DVD (February 19). [/QUOTE]
