Toshiba offers World Cup laptop rebate

Toshiba, the official IT sponsor of this year's FIFA World Cup, is offering massive laptop rebates if England claims the trophy for the first time since 1966.

If England prove victorious--broken metatarsals notwithstanding--anyone who's bought a Toshiba notebook based on Intel Centrino Duo chip will get 66 percent of the purchase price refunded, in "an unprecedented opportunity to benefit from the success of the national team in Germany."

Anyone wishing to take part in the promotion will need to buy their new kit and register it at www.toshiba.co.uk/66 before the tournament kicks off on June 9.

David Meyer reported for ZDNet UK.

Not so fast
You can't get the refund if you aren't a UK resident. Be more precise
in your articles.

Just another sale scheme
England is a good team, but it's not the only good team out there. Oh and by the way, just because England won the Rugby World Cup, doesn't mean you can expect the same thing to happen in soccer.
