Toshiba UK Offering Free Movies with Notebooks, Amazon “Get 10 Free” Deal

Is Toshiba UK joining in on the holiday spirit? I’d like to think that they are instead, just cluing in. For months and months, Toshiba’s HD-DVD players (even the Xbox 360 add-on) qualified for free HD-DVD flicks, but their laptops that included the advance player didn’t qualify. The extent of how much sense this logic lacked is not important. What is important is that if you are a bloke who had intentions of picking up a Tosh notebook, your deal just got sweeter.

So where is the North American love? A deal at Amazon might be the best out there. Purchase the HD-A3 player for $199 and pick up three HD-DVD movies immediately. Bourne Identity and 300 are both included with the player. That makes five, and thanks to Toshiba’s “5 for Free” deal, you get a total of 10 movies for free. Or, you could just consider it as getting the player for free. Who cares? That is one bargain.

So why isn’t this deal available in Canada? Quite the vicious circle I seem to be trapped in.
