Toshiba offers laptop rebate if England win World Cup

Brief: An England triumph in Germany this summer looks increasingly unlikely, but it would still be good news for owners of new Toshiba portables

Toshiba, the official IT sponsor of this year’s FIFA World Cup, is offering massive laptop rebates if England claim 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% 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 naturally need to buy their new kit and register it at www.toshiba.co.uk/66 before the tournament kicks off on 9 June.
