Solve : $50 bucks to get a crap-free computer from Sony? |
|
Answer» Quote Sony launches a new option, which will give you a $50 discount on your purchase if you choose to crapify it. On Engaget, here. Full StoryAs an editorial from the dot-com boom, suggested: our role as customers, is not to expect good SERVICE or products. Our role is to provide revenue.The saddest part of this is how many people will say Yes.apparently sony saw the err in their ways and vetoed the charge.Quote from: homer on March 22, 2008, 01:28:38 AM apparently sony saw the err in their ways and vetoed the charge. Link to this story: http://www.p2pnet.net/story/15365So now the machines will just all be crapified and no option ? ? Sounds about right. Since they're DRM stunt i refuse to purchase anything related to that co. whatsoever...Quote from: patio on March 23, 2008, 08:07:33 AM So now the machines will just all be crapified and no option ? ?According to wired the "Fresh Start" option will still be offered free of charge but only for people who opt for the 100$ upgrade to Vista Business. http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/03/sony-pay-an-ext.html But it should also be noted that "Fresh Start" is only available from Sony Japan and only on select models. How can such a huge company be so out of touch with the real world? ... On SECOND thought I think I just answered my own question. That you did.....And more so how can they let a $50 profit determine how they SELL a 12-1500 dollar computer? When I was in retail we were trained to give up $50 worth of gift cards or whatever we (within company policy) could to secure a $1500 SALE. It is sort of baffling. Which would you rather have, a $50 or $1000 sale?Or what if you walked in and asked "hey i'll just take the crapifier stuff for Free " I'm not gonna buy anything though... |
