High-Def Digest reports that Circuit City is offering people who bought an HD-DVD player from their stores a way to return them and get the original sales price back to help purchase a Blu-Ray player. The offer (which is apparently not being publicly advertised by the retailer) is only for those people who purchased a HD-DVD player in the last 90 days and the player must be returned in its original box with its included accessories. The offer doesn't apply to HD-DVD movie disks.

So, if I understood well, this deal is only going to be good for those people who, within the last 90 days, got their HD DVD player and didn't spend a lot on movies. Which is probably a lot of new HD DVD buyers, actually. I bet many bought one to use as more of an upconverter and have, at most, a handful of HD DVD discs (like the 5 free they got for buying the player). Those people can take advantage of this and not be out a lot of money. For those who invested a lot on movies, just keep the player and buy a PS3 or wait for BD players to drop in price.
