Toshiba reneges on 5 free hd-dvds

From Digital Bits:


"And here's something that's perhaps even more telling in terms of what Toshiba is planning: It seems that the company may have started denying fulfillment of their "five free disc" offers. Bits reader Greg M., who has purchased players on both high-def formats, sent us this e-mail this afternoon:

"I received a letter back from the Toshiba fulfillment house denying my five free discs. They stated that my invoice was not within the time period of the offer. My invoice from Amazon.com was dated Dec 9th, 2007, clearly within the Oct 1, 2007 to Feb 28, 2008 range they gave on their offer flyer. What is more insidious is the invoice I sent them and they sent back to me was marked up with a ballpoint pen to cross out the date. When I called them at 800-405-7520 to try to get some understanding of why my five free disc offer was rejected... I was informed that I would have to resubmit it. I told them to go &*%$ *%$ I do not have time for their petty games." "
