Toshiba is a CE manufacturer, just like all of the other CE manufacturers out there. No incentive is necessary because none were given to other CE manufacturers who backed Blu-ray.

And with the loses and minimal profits they made producing HD DVD players, don't look for them to "give away the store" when they produce in blu.
