look, who really cares?
vu might release new new boxes tomorrow, or in 12 months time...
No-one can say for sure. Yes, Likvid, you have come out with some kind of timescales. Where have these timescales come from? Someone who's guaranteed them? Think about all Apple Macbook pro fanatics... Some people want a mbp pro right there and then. They go out and buy it that day. Others are prepared to wait for the rumours... Most of the times, the rumours come out saying there'll be a new one in a few weeks time. Sometimes, a new one comes out ina few weeks. Others, they're not out for another few months or longer... Only difference is, new mbp supersede old ones... That's not the case here from what we've seen!
Just imagine. A member is interested in buying a new vu+. They've read this thread, and think "hmmmmm, I'll wait for a couple of months, they'll be cheaper then". In a couple of months, still not out. So, still waiting. Then, 6 months down the line, "f00k it, I'll go out and buy the duo, fed up of waiting". Two weeks later, new one out. The member had spent £350 buying the duo, whereas the primo is now on sale for £400. The member thinks that after all of this waiting, they'd have preferred to spend the £350 6 months ago, got the use out of the box rather than wait for 6 months, pay the same, and find that they could've got a newer box for only £50 more . They would've been much happier getting use of duo for 6 months... Yes, they might've preferred to wait a further month and spend the extra £50, but that's vu+'s fault for not telling people a new version is out, not the retailers... Do Amazon, Dixons etc go out and say "hey guys, apple are gonna release a new macbook pro in 6 weeks time. don't buy one from us, and just wait for the new version!".
Other option, member can buy the vu duo now, costing £350. They think "nah, will wait, there's a new version coming out soon, will get that". New version comes out, costs £500. The member thinks "wtf, that's too expensive, not gonna buy that, shall I wait for a while and see if it comes down or buy a duo?!". Member decides to buy the duo, in a month's time, the primo comes down to £450. "Oh bugger". Member waits for primo to come down, in 6 months time, the prio is still £500, and member is fed up of waiting...
What I'm saying ... Everything is all the end users decision... I've been annoyed at times for buying stuff, and soon regretting it as things have changed soon after. Other times, I've gone out, and been happy at making the right decision (like the vu duo, as I got that for £350 from a retailer's voucher when everyone else was still charging £400). Everything is the end users decision, and a retailer is not gonna fall out with the manufacturer just to keep customers happy for nothing!!!
