Best Buy sent me an amazing letter today. We got a Toshiba HD-A3 along with our HDTV over the Christmas season. At the time, nobody knew which high definition DVD medium would be the winner of the DVD 2.0 race. I decided, at the time, that if we were to purchase a next-gen gaming system, it would be an Xbox 360 which supported HD DVD, so by buying an HD DVD player and not a Blu-ray player, we would have two players in the house that supported HD DVD.

The HD-A3 is a great player. We owned two LG DVD players before moving to HD DVD and both of the LG's were horrible. The only complaint we have about the HD-A3 is that the startup time is less than fast, but I've heard that most HD players have this issue.

So today, Best Buy sent us a $50 gift card as a consolation prize for buying a player from the losing team. This gift card was extremely surprising, but shows Best Buy's dedication to helping consumers purchase the right equipment. Best Buy might have a hidden agenda of trying to get us to by a Blu-ray player, unfortunately for them, we already purchased a Playstation 3, and don't need a Blu-ray player.

Thanks Best Buy. Job well done.
