Wal-Mart Offers HD DVD Refunds
The retailer joins Best Buy and Circuit City.
By Swanni
The discount retailer was a popular venue for HD DVD shoppers during the 2007 holiday season after it slashed prices on some players to under $100.
However, Toshiba, the principal supporter of HD DVD, decided early this year to pull the plug on the high-def disc format, ceding victory to rival Blu-ray.
Wal-Mart says HD DVD buyers need only to provide the player and their original receipt to get the refund; it's not necessary to return the box in which it came.
The full refund offer is good until April 30.
Wal-Mart joins Best Buy and Circuit City in offering refunds or similar incentives for customers to return their HD DVD players.
