Getting anxious now so I called the number given on the Toshiba online shop website (not good for the stress levels)
The operator (help-desk is a contradiction in terms) said that they
'have been delayed and delayed and delayed' and he has just been told that their online shop is now getting them in on Monday (18th Dec)
Really think that Toshiba are the biggest bunch of
that I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.
Immediately phoned HiFiBitz (must be sick of me now) and Andy said that the Toshiba rep told them on Tuesday (12th Dec) that he would personally call them if their consignment was not going to be with HifiBitz on Monday or Tuesday (18th or 19th).
Personally I don't think Toshiba have the slightest intention of releasing any of these before the New Year, and are pulling the same
they did when they told dealers last month that there was a container full of HD-E1's at UK customs waiting to be 'booked in'.
It's just a stunt to keep people interested because they can't get their
into gear and get this sorted.
Just another load of
that they expect us dumbs Brits to swallow.
If I didn't have a load of HD-DVD's ready and waiting to be watched I would definately boycott Toshiba and wait for another manufacturer to make a stand alone player.
Serenity now, serenity now
