Canada’s Future Shop offering $100 toward Blu-ray/HD DVD combo player purchase
In a move similar to Circuit City, but not quite as generous an offer, Canada’s Future Shop is helping those customers that were unfortunate enough to commit to the now dead HD DVD format.
The offer from Future Shop does have some nice points and some limitations. First off they are accepting standalone HD DVD players that were purchased anywhere. The offer gives customers $100 that they can use to purchase either an LG or Samsung Blu-ray/HD DVD combo player. This does mean that you have a pretty limited selection, but at least you can still play any HD DVD movies that you already purchased, plus any new Blu-ray titles that you pick up in the future.
If you are looking to trade-in your HD DVD player you may want to act quickly, the offer ends on April 3, 2008. The players that Future Shop receives from the trade-in program will all be donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada so they can be used in their after-school and evening programs.

So you know, if you purchased something within the last 30 days from futureshop you can return it - no questions asked.
I bought an HDDVD player from there mid-feb and returned it last week, full cash back, no questions. So if you’re within 30 days (even if its been opened) they’ll take it back.
