Today, Best Buy announced that it will be giving away $50 gift cards to everyone who purchased an HD DVD player at their store...

    I was in BB Monday and they still had a big HD-DVD display (tv, player, sign pointing out benefits, etc) 10 feet from the BD one. No one said anything to the one guy I saw buying a hd-dvd movie at checkout about the format. They just sold it to him.

    I think this is a great goodwill gesture for them, reminds me of what happened with divx players when that format went under. They need to do something for the people who are still buying hd stuff and are unaware of the current situation with it. Or they'll end up alienating a lot of people.

    LOL. Me too. Let's both hold our breath.

    I knew full and well, when I bought my HD-A2, that I was probably buying into a soon to be dead format.
    I'm not looking back. So what. I spent a hundred bucks and spun the wheel of destiny.

    No, Amazon wants to give you two free VERY OLD Warner HD DVD's for buying a $450 combo player and two Blu-Ray movies.

    Cool, add that to the ton of reward points I got for buying the HD-DVD player. I had some coupon that gave me triple points, so I got decent money back. This is just icing on the cake!
