Toshiba's XD-E500 player: now with free 1-year Lovefilm subscription in UK
We won't even front: we questioned the value in Toshiba's super-upscaling XD-E500 DVD player, but the company is making the pill a lot easier to swallow for those on the opposite side of the pond. Starting now, those who purchase the player and register it within seven days are blessed with a full year of DVD rentals from Lovefilm (a British DVD rental company). The year of rentals is technically worth £100, thus making the net cost of the player itself just £20 (£120 minus £100) if you're keen on twisting your math. So, Tosh -- when can we Americans expect a similar deal with Netflix?

Netflix? not likely. Blockbuster? That would be interesting.

I've seen nothing but good reviews for these players.
(and they're not even the Spurs engined ones that have been talked about for ages, I see that has just appeared on their TV range tho)
