Default Sony gives ~190$ for your HD DVD SAs! (in Switzerland)

I just saw that Sony gives you about 190$ (180$ + 10$ for shippment) when you send in your HD DVD SA! (no XBox360 add-in).
But you have to buy ether the Sony BD S300 or the S500.
And the best thing: They are some S300s for about 360$ here, and you can get 6 BDs (Spiderman 1-3 + Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3) when you register your S300!

Well, not bad, specially for my parents with their HD DVD SA

Now I just hope that the S300 is a good player

Well, two things to consider:

1. Switzerland never got those pricecuts like in US, so the cheapest HD DVD Player you can get still costs ~230$ (including shipping).

2. This offer is only valid for HD DVD Players bought before march (and only those bought in switzerland), so you can't just buy one now and use the offer.

Yes, that's all true.
But the free 5 HD DVDs with the player (this was offered for just 2,3 months), we sold, and got >110$. So the lose wasn't so big (for my parents )
