Hi,

Just curious what the community thinks about this.  It's misleading is
it not?

It's 31% off a false List Price of $399 for $274.50.

As a long-time user, contributor and supporter since the original
Squeezebox seeing things like this is upsetting.  This community was
built on good faith. Slim Devices / Squeezebox is one of the great
stories of successful products from word of mouth fueled by the
internet.

The last thing a consumer needs is to be misled.  These products are
easily tackled by power users but general consumers might have to spend
some time to get things configured right.  

I guess I've seen it once too many times walking into a Magnolia AV
store to see a sales rep talk a customer out of Squeezebox into Sonos. 
Clearly they are not familiar with the product and would rather sell the
more expensive Sonos.  Doesn't help when they blatantly lie, either
purposely or out of ignorance, that Squeezebox can't do things that it
can.

To me, it's kind of like Apple selling in retail computer chain stores
all over again with sales reps pushing PC.  Finally Apple took matters
into their own retail stores... and very successfully. This is no need
for the many misconceptions and misinformation fostered by sales reps
that are not properly trained or care not to sell what I feel is a
superior product (Squeezebox).  I'm not sure what training Logitech has
given the sales channel, but personally I'd like to see Slim Devices win
every sale over Sonos.

Been a while since I've seen anyone comment on the Logitech
acquisition. So just curious...  Is there anything the community here
can do to help combat these issues or am I the only one that recognizes
these challenges?
