Ok, now this one isn't the online scams and such that you get spammed with every time you log online or do a search for the PS3. Circuit City has announced that they will take back any HD-DVD players and exchange them for a nice shiny new Blu-Ray player. The customer still has to pay the difference, but you can also take back a player you bought no more than a couple months ago. You know, before Toshiba dropped there bomb of backing out of the HD format race.

Q: What about customers who may try to return an HD DVD player — even if they have owned it for several months? A: We do not want to upset our valued customers. For this special circumstance, we are happy to offer an exchange for a Blu-ray player (customer plays any difference in purchase price) — even if it has been several months since the customer made their HD DVD player purchase. If the customer does not want a Blu-ray player, we can issue a gift card refund for their original purchase price. For products purchased in the last 30 days, handle as usual. (Note: all open-box and defective Toshiba HD DVD players are Return-to-Vendor and must be sent back to Toshiba.) As per policy, we will not accept refunds of opened HD DVD software. |
Great news for anyone who did pick one up and has been griping about not having the cash to pick up a PS3. Especially since there have been confirmed reports that the PS3 counts as a Blu-Ray player for this announcement. So if you got shafted in this war, here is a way to get bandaged up by the field medic and back onto the HD format lines.
