Swee****er's "Sneaky Deal" is even sneakier than you think!
Hey, I recently got an advertisement in the mail from Swee****er
showing you how you can get the Native Instruments "Komplete 2" bundle for $700 by buying one instrument for $200 and then buying the upgrade for $500. It probably is a pretty sweet deal. If you read the copy of the advertisement the very first words in the copy are "Fender Rhodes". Cool, I thought. My roommate sold his real Rhodes on ebay, the Native Instruments plugins I've played with have all sounded pretty good. This could be a pretty sweet deal. Then I went about researching what exactly was included in the Komplete 2 bundle to see if I might be interested in buying in to such a beast. What I found is that "Elektrik Piano", the plugin that includes the Fender Rhodes sim, is not included in the bundle. I did contact my rep at Swee****er via email and he did acknowledge that indeed the "Komplete 2" bundle does not include the "Elektrik Piano" plug in that would get you the Fender Rhodes sound. I followed up with, "Well don't you think the advertisement is misleading?" and never got a response. I'm giving Swee****er the benefit of the doubt and assuming that the discrepency is good old fashioned human error and not a deliberate bait and switch tactic. However, intentional or not, the effect is essentially that of a misleading bait and switch. I would have expected Swee****er to at least own up to their misleading advertising and say, "Mea culpa" but they don't seem interested in admitting the error. Which isn't really how I like for places I do business with to be run. The potential for my actually buying any of the Native Instruments products from Swee****er has been greatly diminished. At any rate, if you're thinking of buy this package from Swee****er, please be aware that the advertising copy is misleading and you will *not* get the "Elektrik Piano" plug in. Not angry, just disappointed, Chris Rossi http://spacelabstudio.com |
