Dear Amazon.com Customer,


As someone who purchased an HD DVD player from us before February 23, 2008,* you might like to hear about a special offer available from Amazon.com.

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.** Just use promotional code XXXXXXXXXX when checking out. The code is valid through April 9, 2009, so you have plenty of time to use your credit. Purchases from third-party merchants on our site are not eligible.

In addition, we'd like to share some of our top offers on Blu-ray discs, HDTVs, and other high-def technology and remind you that the Amazon.com Marketplace is available to sell items you might not want anymore as you upgrade to new ones. Also be sure to check out our monthly Amazon.com Early Adopters Delivers e-mail to find out about the latest technology.

    I bought my player from Amazon, though it was a while back.... don't quite remember how long ago. Does the email say anything about what the cutoff date is?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Haha, the first sentence says
    who purchased an HD DVD player from us before February 23, 2008

    So does that mean... ANY time before? If so, where's my email / credit ? :)

    I think he means the "starting" date. No, it does not mention. I ordered mine on November 5.

    Crutchfield had them in their catalog for full retail about two weeks after toshiba pulled the plug (and while Best buy was dumping them for $150)... but w/ a print catalog, what can you do?

    That's not sold by Amazon, but "Toyzzz". Keep in mind Amazon is also a storefront for dozens of other companies.

    I purchased my A2 direct from Amazon in November 2007, IIRC. Did Amazon send this message to you via e-mail? If not, where can I find it on their website?
