Toshiba is offering massive laptop rebates if the England football team claims the World Cup trophy for the first time since 1966.

If the squad proves victorious - broken metatarsals notwithstanding - anyone who's bought a Toshiba laptop based on Intel Centrino Duo chip will get 66 per cent 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.

The electronics giant is the official IT sponsor of this year's Fifa World Cup.
