Go up one level in this thread


I do not see why everyone keeps saying forget about it, I wish that I had waited
a week for the prices to drop on something, but no the day I buy it the next day
it drops in price, who gives a damn about that, those kinds of products you buy
have been on the market for a very, very long time.  NOT JUST TWO WEEKS.

Ed maybe in staying afloat get an A+ , but in cumster relations and marketing,
well I think he have made a negative, NOBODY cuts prices after only two weeks,
if only two weeks why did he not start the prices the current price when he
released his software.

I will tell you why, eveyone knows when you have a high profile program, that
beats ANAND, and is reputed as having a strong engine, well everyone will want
to see this, so the stores buy up big, people get it when it is frst released,
Ed thus leeches the market for what he can get, when things slow down, Ed says,
I got the big influx of the market already lets cut prices and go for more.

Well what are we surprised for, after all Ed is a man only out to make money for
himself, I doubt whether he cares about the chess community, after this move I
can assume I am right in saying that, well I would say time for the Chess
community to not care about Ed.

Bye Bye Ed
