1. LG sell the TV to currys for X and Currys sell it for Y!! simple, get over it, its always been like that!? even for the amazing Sony and Samsung!
2. its a shame that these threads always get so personal, if i was Dave i'd've given up a long time ago if he doesn't work in customer services then how/why can he answer those type of questions. i've not come across a company who deal with customer services publicly, how can that be managed succesfully?
3. I quite Like LG, i like the fact that when you pay Audi money you GET Audi quality and not a Kia, most people on here pay Audi money and then get upset when it turns out NOT to be a Ferrari!!? if you want to pay Ferrari money and end up with an Audi.... go to Sony....
p.s. i've still got my PG6000 plasma on my wall and a 10 year old LG microwave! both still work perfectly!
(although, i've just rememberd my LG VCR chewed up my VHS copy of Live and Let Die! grrrr!)
1: So an MSRP is not out the question. They have already provided an MSRP to US retailers. And those brands you mention have released MSRPs too.
2: Richer sounds on these forums do exactly that. They approch you, ask you to PM them, then they direct you to a personal rep who has direct contact with you and the store.
What Richer do on here is incredible and ground breaking interms of customer service. This was what I was talking in reference too as I had discussed/mentioned this to Dave in this forum after he refused to help/point a forum member to another department etc after they approached dave regarding a fault with their tv. The ironic part of tht discussion was that Dave posted a direct statement/quote stating LG had known issues with the 2011 models that were known to the media/public/press and LG themselves that they would try not to repeat this year... Yet the forum member on here was advised by LG that no such fault existed, had ever been heard of, had ever been reported to LG before??? Which then surprised me that dave didn't help out and perhaps point the guy to someone in customer service who could help.
3: I agree with what you say.... LG are currently charging prices (on some models) that is on par with Pioneer, Samsung and Sony! Where in my opinion they are not really in that league. They are mid range players not top end players and thus should charge accordingly. It's like paying Ferrari prices and getting an Audi.
I'm not trying to bash Dave or LG, I was just pointing out some minor inconsistencies in Daves comments. I wasn't doing anything to upset anyone, just pointing out some inconsistencies in what was being said. Its not an attack on dave. I've posted some flattering comments about dave, and have passed fun comments back and forth with each other
Jut trying to get some organisation... Dave would have been better weeks ago saying I can't do anything really... I'm just a poster boy. All the info you want will be relased by head office online, check the website for further information. But he didn't, he led us to believe he would receive the information and he would post it as soon as he knows. But if he knows as soon as we do then he could have saved a lot of grief by just saying he doesn't have any remit over these areas
Daves alright... I mean he had a ZxSpectrum+3 with built in floppy drive for crying out loud! How bad can he be! ZXSpeccy OwNers are AWESOME! Way better than those dam commodore or Amiga kids
Yea, so he might have been the rich kid on the block with a Spectrum +3 who didn't have to put up with loading screens, or copy his friends tapes or wait 45 minutes only to watch "jet set willy" "Bruce lee" or "jet pack" crash in the final 10 seconds of that loading screen
Yea, so that super fast +3 may have robbed him of some of his childhood, but deep down, i still think he's alright
.. But after years of watching tapes load and listen to "dddddddddddd shck" ddd shcckckckckckckckckckckc" I'm tired of waiting and my Patience has worn thin.. I want info NOW NOW NOW
only for the same reasons he bought a spectrum +3, He didn't want to wait either, he wanted his games to Load NOW NOW NOW
