I know this is the insider's thread, but just wanted to add something about this. It wouldn't surprise me at all if somebody at Toshiba made this claim to try to keep the Weinsteins. In the past Toshiba has claimed they were going to accomplish things that didn't turn out to be true, so if they claimed it and it doesn't happen, it wouldn't be the first time. They've done something similar with claiming they were going to sell x number of players by a certain point, and then they weren't even in the same ballpark as what they said they were going to sell. I would be surprised if there aren't people at Toshiba who believe they are going to get Warner exclusively, just like there are people on pretty much every NFL team who think they are going to win their game that weekend. Doesn't make it true and Toshiba obviously has an incentive to get the Weinsteins to believe it, even if the chances aren't high. So basically, somebody could be telling the truth that a Toshiba person claimed this and it still wouldn't mean much, IMO.
