"Toshiba, maybe you should focus on reducing the prices for general consumers rather than running these awkward "promotions." The fact that you're trying to sell players at a conference reeks of desperation"

Umm, Toshiba just did that last month...

And how come everything Toshiba does, people here say "reeks of desperation." First it was the 5 free movies (which, when Sony does it, people say is brilliant), then it was the $100 price reduction for Father's Day, now this.

This IS a good deal for people who are at the conference. They already paid to go, with no thought of an HD DVD player. Now that they're there, they see a $99 player, who wouldn't want to buy that? I don't know much about the conference, but it's not uncommon for companies to give out free swag (heck, Apple gave away free IPTVs to players at the All-Star game, is that Apple desperation?)

I think someone's just jealous that they're not at the conference...

I remember the days, when Engadget wasn't so biased, and you could actually read an article without immediately knowing which side they were on. This lack of professionalism makes me wonder why Engadget is still around. I'm thinking all the fanboys have made this turn into a Jerry Springer episode with each post, and Jerry Springer's doing fine still... lol
