Microsoft has decided to aggressively target iPad users in an attempt to get them to convert to its own Surface RT or Surface Pro tablets. The Redmond, Washington-based software giant says that users who bring in a "gently used" iPad 2, iPad 3, or iPad 4 will get at least a $200 gift card to the Microsoft store.

Guess this is one way to get rid of the billion dollars of inventory sitting in their warehouses. Any takers?
 
They might have more luck moving the Surface RTs for 150 without the buyback. Not much profit, but the iPad 3&4s are much better spec'd devices with a much more mature OS than W8RT. Guessing there's probably not too many people willing to take a downgrade like that. Maybe some of the iPad 2s though?
 
Scratched-up iPad 2's in "acceptable" condition sell for $240+ on Amazon, and "gently used" go for $300+.

Not a good deal.
 
Microsoft store credit? Meaning you can only use it for apps or contents, not hardware?

I have been burned by Microsoft several times in the past I won't make any MS "account" for monetary transactions. Never, ever.
