lmao.
higher price to be the first to have something is a bad business practice??? lol
xbox360 is a good example. my, they have a TON of zealots waiting in lines overnight to pick up a new console. and get the full price treatment. and all this while they KNOW there will be a price drop. is that bad business?
as for apple not 'giving' you enough time to be the first w/ the coolest etc? spare me. how much time do you want? 6 months??? why, i bet you'd want them to completely stop selling it right after you bought it maybe?
this has been going on since the dawn of time, especially w/ auto industries.
in the 90's when i was shopping for an integra, i wanted a type-r. honda assured us the type-r wasn't coming to the u.s. few months later it was here. then they assured us it would ONLY be in white. again, we got black and yellow after a while.
above sticker dealer prices for the privilege to be the first to drive elise/cayman/350z/ariel atom down your block??
huh, never heard of it. never heard of auto maker throwing 40 more cars at each dealership a month later so your 'moment of being a first' only lasted so long? yeah, you're right, this sort of thing NEVER happens, and only apple are guilty of it and only apple will suffer the 'consequences'.
that kind of thinking can't even be labelled as 'not smart', it's downright moronic.
