New Amiga CEO : Comment 58 of 254 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Lando on 26-Apr-2003 21:48 GMT | In reply to Comment 47 (Thomas Würgler/Pagan): >There never was a scam.
But there was! I am almost sure that, at the time of the coupon promotion, Amiga Inc had got it into their heads that they were going to sell way, way more coupons than they actually did. They were expecting to make a million $ from this promotion (Look at the sales figures for the various prizes, such as the cell phones). It never happened. They made 50 grand. Peanuts in real terms. And they spent this 50 grand on bills/debts/whatever. No money left for such superfluous things as T-Shirts. But the worst part is that they then continued to sell the coupons, even after it became clear that they were, in reality, worthless. You can go to the Amiga website right now and pay your $50 to join the rest of us mugs.
>People will get their 50$ back when purchasing either an AmigaOne or
>AmigaOS 4.
I know several club members who have bought an AmigaOne. Not one has recieved back their $50. Amiga Inc never even sent out the coupons. And if they had, I've yet to find a retailer who would redeem then. Not even Eyetech.
>The t-shirt is a freebie on top of that. Besides that there is
>already the Club Amiga Magazine.
Well, please explain how something that you never even got can be a freebie?
Club Amiga Magazine (basically a ten-page ad for AInc) alone is not worth $50 in my book.

>scam. Till then you're spreading FUD.
AmigaOne IS out. It is shipping. People have them. I wanted to pre-order OS4. I wanted to get $50 off the price, as Amiga Inc promised I would be able to. But not a single retailer would redeem my non-existant coupon. |
