You have to return your HD DVD player to them, AND pay 200 Swiss Franks.
The 6 free movies (Spider-man Trilogy and Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3) are nothing special. ANYONE that registers their new BD players in Switzerland gets these for free.
In essence:
you pay 200 Swiss Franks
AND have to send you HD DVD player to them (they still sell for 100 Euros/157 Swiss Franks used all the time)
Effectively that's 355 Swiss Franks, or roughly $341 US
So, what do you get for your $341 US:
a Sony BD player (and the 6 movies than anyone who buys a BD player in Switzerland gets)

An exchange program where you pay $341 in addition to giving up your HD DVD player. Lame. I'm surprised they aren't allowing people to send in their HD DVD titles with their player and get $1 off the price of new Blu-ray versions of those titles.
Here's an idea... keep the HD DVD player and titles, pick-up dirt cheap HD DVDs, and get a PS3 for playing Blu-rays once enough exclusive Blu-ray titles that you want to watch come out.

I do not think I would consider trying to evaluate this in US$, guys. The US currancy is so pathetic I think they are changing the 'dollar' to 'peso'.

apparently there was a translation error:
customers have to buy either a BDP-S300 (ca. 500 Swiss Franks) or a BDP-S500 (ca 1,000 Swiss Franks).
Then return their HD DVD player to receive 200 Swiss Franks from Sony, as well as the 6 BDs that anyone else gets.
So, you pay 300 Franks for the S300 or 700 Franks for the S500, any you no longer have your HD DVD player
WHAT A DEAL
NOT

The deal is that you exchange a finished product like a EP35 with a unfinished one like the S300. I'm refereing to the fact that s300 (and s500) are NOT profile 2.0.
