Well, I see SB2 going for around £130 and SB3 going for around £180. £50 for a new design. The psu/antenna improvements mean nothing to me and certainly not £50.
I take your point about the SB2 looking like an alarm clock but my point is, why introduce a product that is extremely popular and within less than a year completely change its look and stop manufacturing the old design? I find it an odd decision. It must cost a lot of investment to do this and I could understand it if the SB3 was a major hardware improvement on the SB2 but as it stands it isn't. My comment about exploitation may have been rather harsh but judging from many people around here who will buy anything SD put out, it seems to me SD knew this. I just find it odd thats all. I wouldn't have expected the SB3 to be out until next year, maybe late summer fall next year. I would have thought the SB3 would be massively upgraded from the SB2. I guess this is now the domain of the SB4. I still stand by my comment about distribution and will do until I can buy a SB from somewhere like Amazon. SB is an amazing product but most people have never heard of it. Shit, just about every one for sale on ebay comes with the selling point 'rare item'. And you'd feel my frustration if you have been trying to buy a SB2 for the last month only to be told, "we don't ship here, we don't ship there, we will ship to you but the shipping is going to cost the price of a grand piano, we don't have them in stock but you can have the new one that looks more like a playstation for an extra £50". As a consumer, I'm not interested in excuses. I just want to go to Amazon.co.uk, pay my money and have the item here within 48 hours. Simple as that. -- Orb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Orb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=111 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18558 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
