JEDDAH, 6 June 2006 — Football fans have the chance to catch World Cup fever this summer, as Toshiba puts together an “unbeatable” portfolio of products and prizes as part of its sponsorship of the event.
On offer throughout the World Cup, fans can buy the special 2006 FIFA World Cup Toshiba Edition package, which consists of a brand new Toshiba Satellite A100-237 coupled with a copy of FIFA 06 by EA Sports and a Logitech gamepad, providing the “ultimate gaming experience” for football fans throughout the Middle East.
“Providing support for sports fans involves a combination of infrastructure, equipment and a sense of competition,” Ahmed Khalil, general manager, Toshiba Computer Systems Division, Middle East and Africa, said yesterday. “Toshiba’s involvement with the World Cup, brings the game right into the homes and hands of those who want to get involved with it in as many ways as they can,” he told reporters.
Equipped with a 15.4” WXGA widescreen TFT display, Toshiba TruBrite technology, the latest ATI graphics and Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology, the Satellite A100-237 provides a combination of crystal-clear viewing and state-of-the-art gaming capability.
