Xtreamer - Discussion, Reviews, Information Thread! - Page 2

Confirmed. Here's what Hi-Jack wrote in an email regarding the status of the Xtreamer review, whether he has one, and what to expect:


EDIT: It sounds like the MPC guy has a lot on his plate. If MPC is supposed to be the first to review the Xtreamer and as they say it isn't even there yet, with 9 other products to review upon their return July 3rd, it could mean that some of the first reviews we see about this unit will in fact come from forum members or customers who have ordered.

I have no idea. I hope not. But I was under the distinct impression MPC would be the first. And MPC says they are off duty until July 3rd and even then they have 9 other products in the pipeline (whereas the Xtreamer hasn't arrived yet and MPC has no expected shipping date.)

Wow.. this is some shady ****..



Anyone else's spidey senses tingling? Or maybe we really can have our Xtreamer engraved, customized, and more!

It's an interesting point. There have been lots of names thrown around about who has backed this project. But it's not clear if that was only in terms of the technology they contributed to making the project possible in R&D, or whether those big hitters are involved with the marketing, promotion and support of the product or have a stake in it's success.

Apparently Xtreamer is fronted by a company called MVIX, but given that Xtreamer support seems so overwhelmed at a crucial launch period, its website and support emails with relatively poor presentation value, consistently written in the same fractured english with spelling mistakes or excessive copy and paste, and its unprofessional approach to customer relations (i.e. making information public and then complaining about it to a customer) it's understandable why one might pause to wonder just how much staff is actually behind the Xtreamer website and if it isn't just one or two guys.

That's a bit of a stretch. They have allegedly also lifted things from the NMT forums too. And if you take parts [1] or [2] of the one quote I supplied and google them you'll see it only appears on Apple websites.

I care most about the quality of product too, but presentation is also part of that quality IMHO. What's the value of a brand that can't even be bothered to make its own websites or web pages (let alone make them presentable)? Instead using a patchwork of other people's words and ideas to create a brand or image for itself? It's pretty friggin' lazy and I don't like it, to be truthful. I don't think most other people here do either. It doesn't show a lot of respect for their own brand, product, or customers IMHO.

I didn't mean to start this raging debate on plagerism, but as a customer I went to look for some information and saw the quote about 'ENGRAVING' and it really stuck out like a sore thumb that whoever wrote this page clearly didn't think it was worth the time to write it themselves or even proof read it to make sure it was relevant to their product.

But hey, having said all of that and shelled out for the player already I'm with most of you who are just hoping it lives up to expectations. I hope the final product is worth all of this corner cutting.

The link was in the quote bubble at the top of each quote, this is the link: http://store.apple.com/us/help/viewing_changing_orders

Check it out! http://www.xtreamer.net/ was just updated with a slick intro video that pops up on loading the main site. (It can also be accessed again at any point by clicking 'TV Promo' at the top of the Xtreamer.net website.)

Nice job Xtreamer! Great promo and the product is looking good!

Yeah it's me. A lot of times I'll re-edit a post because I want to make sure I'm using the right words, that I can correct typos, or improve the flow of the post for people who are reading it -- and above all, so that I am communicating clearly in an easy to read fashion.

haha unlike a certain website I believe in proof-reading and spellcheck. Zing!
