Well, I got my settlement today. It came a lot sooner than I had anticipated. I thought that I was due to get something like $96 back, but I can’t remember. It has been a long time since I filed my claim.
What I did see though, disappointed me in a way. I was hoping to use the money to get an HD-DVD drive for my Xbox360 when they come out. Well, at least to partially pay for an HD-DVD drive. But, it doesn’t work for that.
It is useful for:
- Publically available software that will run on a Laptop, tablet PC, or Desktop. I assume this covers Mac software
- Computer Hardware
- Desktop, laptop or tablet PC
- Printer
- Mouse
- keyboard
- monitor
It won’t even cover an HD-DVD drive for a desktop, it seems. Since it is valid on purchase made since July 18, 2003, however, I can use it to receive reimbursement for an older purchase. That means I can still use it for an HD-DVD drive for the 360 but it wasn’t half what I was expecting. Oh well, I guess it is “free” money.
