It was of course bound to happen this way. The Toshiba rep I corresponded with also let me know the same thing, but wasn't able to give me information about possibly having some available for "testing" purposes etc.. They of course do their own QC stuff as do all HD manufacturers, so justifying such a thing as giving some away, isn't really logical.

As far as sales go, they really only really release mass quantities, which are usually as said, bought by companies such as Apple etc.. I may try to acquire some again since the release date is so close, but I doubt that I'll be successful.
