I ordered HD A35 and the Bomb dropped

[Hdude]

I ordered HD A35 few days ago and now WB drops support for HD DVD.
Should I refuse the shipment when it arrives? I called to cancel today & they said they already shipped it today.
Any Advice?

The future looks very bad for HD DVD with the warner announcement and now with Paramount looking to get out of their contract as well. While I don't know how much you paid for the A35 I bet it still was a pretty penny so if it were me I would just send it back and get a BD player.

your screwed

Call the company back and make sure you get a refund if you refuse it.

Thanks gus.
I paid 349 for it and now I'll refuse the shipment for sure.

Nimrod I think HD DVD format is more screwed than I am.

You aren't screwed if you take delivery, you'll still have a good upscaling player for SD DVDs What is their return policy? Maybe you don't have to refuse shipment, just take it and send it back. They may have a restocking fee...even if you refuse delivery.

They may have a restocking fee...even if you refuse delivery.

...and you may still be liable for any additional shipping charges anyway.

Did you ask them the best way to handle this?

Where did you buy it from? If you gut it from amazon.com you will be refunded shipping charges if you refuse delivery.

Pickup the phone and call them (be nice).

From a business stand point, the company gave you what you wanted… just things changed in the market, not their / your fault…

What about asking them if you could exchange it for a Blu-Ray player (if they make one)? That would take the sting out of the deal somewhat.

Who did you buy this from and how did you pay for it? Depending on the state you're in, you may be able to refuse the shipment, and the company that shipped it to you would have no choice but refund your money. HOWEVER, even then, they may be able to legally charge you a restock and return shipping and handling fee.
