It's a little unfair to suggest that the distribution channel is inadequate because you cannot source what is now a superseded product. It may be more reasonable to question why the SB3 was introduced so quickly after the SB2, although the obvious answer would be to address the common criticism that the SB1 and 2 looked like radio alarms and out of place with the look of most A/V equipment. I'm not aware that there are any significant issues with distribution of the current product line other than that demand for black outpaced supply at launch, but that's not really a distribution issue.
I've bought two SD products from what was at the time the current product range and found no difficulty in sourcing them. I don't anticipate any problem when I eventually succumb and buy an SB3. I suspect I might be chapping though, if I decided I wanted an SB2 but I'd probably find myself in a similar situation if I wanted to buy a superseded Sony product too. EDIT: The majority of the differences between the SB2 and SB3 are cosmetic, but not all. The PSU has been redesigned and all antennae are internal now. A function button (can't remember what now) has been added to the remote control too. There might be more, but I don't recall right now. Are SD exploiting their most loyal customers? I doubt you'd get much support for that statement around here. The new model launched a year after the first and retails at the same launch price. That doesn't strike me as exploitation. -- Fifer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fifer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=639 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18558 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
