Does that mean Microsoft are a cut above for extending Xbox 360 warranties and giving refunds to people who paid for out of warranty repairs?
Or Blizzard are a cut above to giving people extra playing time when WoW servers go down?

I think this is a slightly different situation.

It's been 60-70 days TOPS since the release of the iphone..most "popular" electronic devices do NOT get a price cut this soon after release..

..especially one of this magnitude. I mean a price cut is one thing, and we come to expect it on most everything we buy given enough time (as is par for the course for most electronic devices)..

..but to cut the price by 33% so soon after release is unheard of.

If the iphone was selling as well as expected or proclaimed I see no reason why Apple would cut the prices so drastically. The MEGA successful iPod NEVER saw a price cut like this.

Granted the cell phone business is a constantly evolving and ever changing beast, but still I don't recall any supposedly successful pricey cell phones being cut so soon after launch.

I can definitely see why customers would be upset. I would be too..

..if I could afford a $600 (well $400) phone...

My two cents,

Watch your and my ratings go down - fscking Crapple zealots are quick to push that downrate button, for anyone who doesn't worship The Cupertino Liar. Remember that yesterday's "WE MADE FIRST PLAYER WITH WEB BROWSER, EVER"? The fruity clown continues to fsck his users and they DO enjoy this. They just love the clown's lies and stupid shows. Good for them.

Not that MS screwing PC gamers with Vista "games" like Halo 2 is any better than this fruity piece of fertilizer, they also lied and lied (remember WinFS?), so, well... now both Crapple and MS zealots will downrate me. Whatever.

Gosh, I sound like these crazy guys BeenThere and cornfedone. Gotta be more forgiving, it's just a fscking business after all. Make money, screw some customers in the process, maybe. Everyone does or did that. I don't know any large company who has always been crystal clear and honest and sh1t. Capitalism is dirty by definition.
