Toshiba to Bundle Three Free HD DVD Discs With Every Player Sold
Posted by Jason Eaton in "THOUGHT" @ 04:30 PM
"Making its voice heard in a quarter where the focus of the next-gen DVD wars seems to have shifted to gaming consoles, HD DVD supporting electronics manufacturer Toshiba today rolled out an aggressive new promotion that will bundle *three* free HD DVD discs with every HD DVD player sold. The offer from Toshiba follows two competing offers from Sony and Microsoft, which are both bundling a single disc with initial sales of their respective high-def playback solutions (the first 500,000 PlayStation 3 buyers will receive a free 'Talladega Nights' Blu-ray, while buyers of Microsoft's new XBox 360 HD DVD player will receive a free 'King Kong' HD DVD). Toshiba's deal provides consumers with a bit more choice, offering a selection of three discs from three different studios (Warner, Paramount and Universal)."
Just a quick heads up for those of you thinking about taking the HD-DVD player plunge. Looks like Toshiba is stepping up the fight in the HD-DVD war and I for one am looking for more. My HD television is begging me for some pure clean signals that it just can't seem to get from my cable provider these days. :(
