New Toshiba Commercial.... - Blu-ray Forum

Switchblade9 · 01-25-2008, 03:13 AM

While driving to work this morning I heard an ad for Toshiba hyping their wonderful HD-DVD players stating at $149 plus seven free movies. The interesting part of the spot was the disclaimer at the end saying neither the player nor the movies could be returned or exchanged. I guess they are blowing them out....and don't want them back! I just wonder how many poor schmucks are going to get lured into buying one then find out the format is all but dead. Sorry...no returns or exchanges!

What store was it? I heard one today for the same thing from Circuit City, but I didn't pay attention to the end.

Here's hoping: FFF-FIRESALE!

just standard business business practices

sell as many as they can and try to minimalize their losses

I am going to buy one to throw in the closet when my A-1 gives out some day. I have lots in my collection and quite a few of them I won't be upgrading to Blu. I might on some though. Price is a great deal though I wouldn't buy it if I didn't had one at all, especially after the Warner announcement.

It wasn't for any particular store, it was just a generic Toshiba spot.

Toshiba cannot dictate that any store that sells the product is not allowed to accept returns. I'd have to hear the clip to believe it.

At least you realize that if you got Blu versions, you would be upgrading.
