has this been confirmed as not fraud yet? cause i got an email about this and was a little skeptical about it
 
I'm pretty sure it's real. Even so, what would one do with a %25 off coupon for Creative's store? At least with Belkin's store, they frequently have %50 off deals.
 
What's the point? If you are unhappy with their crap products [FYI, the drivers on my Audigy2 stopped outputting more than two channels for whatever reason] you get to buy another one of their cards?

Sounds like a great proposition to me :rolleyes:
 
Can't a business refuse customers? They are private and can kick anyone out that they please, right? If i was them i would not let anyone that jumped on that suit buy another one of my products....you know....for fear that the lil bastards would do it again. Even if it is real can't they be like "we don't accept coupons from people who sue us."

Then they get sued again lol
 
what about an audigy 2 zs? The sound that comes out of the analog outputs are utter crap. thin sounding, very little bass, poor imaging, etc.... i have 3 12" subs and with the analog jacks, i get almost no output below about 40 or 50 hz. which the digital out, i get solid bass to about 23-25 hz. obviously a problem with the drivers, since the sub rattles the walls during the speaker calibration
 
Nice...I have a soundblaster Extigy. I guess I'll use the 25% off to buy an E-MU 0404 or a new MP3 player =)
 
would an audigy ls allow me to get the money? and can if so can you use the 25% off for any creative product?
 
im not quite sure if i have the energy to find the serial number on my extigy... maybe next time i take everything apart.

It is good customer relations for this "lawsuit" They had some "poor products" in this case sound cards go into the open market. They realized this error, after sometime and decided to rectify the situation buy refunding qualified unsatisfied customers about 1/2 the total cost of a retail card $$.. It is highly unlikely that Creative is going to Blacklist anyone who gets involved with the lawsuit..


IE: About a year or so ago their was lawsuit against the mail-order music companies. In this lawsuit: Columbia House, BMG Music, etc... were charged with over charging for their music selections. To rectify this situation qualifiing music club members, who bought music from the clubs between specifiied dates qualified to get repayed with free
music (up to 5 selections per club if I remember correctly).. This lawsuit has been seince settled.. Sorry!! :p
 
That's just a joke in my oppinion...

1. I'm not a US resident but I bought one of their products.

2. I don't have any of the listed products but I have the Audigy 2 NX and the MIC input is horrible, so bad I have to use the built in mic input on my laptop. This is pretty sad considering it's supposed to be 24-bit, 96khz sampling and all that jazz.

I mean i'm fairly happy with the "sound card" for what I need it for (better than the onboard audio for sure) but it does suck having such crappy microphone quality.
 
Thread title is very misleading. The only thing they "owe" you is a 25% off coupon to their website's store, where everything is already marked up 25% in the first place.

Gotta love American business practices. :rolleyes:
 
So, it came through. I got my coupon code. They even put the Emu 0404 on thier site. That means I can get one shipped for ~$75.
 
my old audigy gamer is sitting on a shelf, replaced by on board sound. how sad is that? when a custom intracite sound card sucks so bad, youd rather use on-board.

oh, and I get a 25% discount on something overpriced by 100%? (its junk no matter what the price)

no thanks
 
I guess it makes some sense. Though isn't that like going to a corner store and buying a cigar that unexpectedly blows up in your face. Then going back to the same place for a free one, expecting this one not to explode? :eek:

Sorry for the crappy analogy, you catch my drift though right? Why shouldn't I get money back for this so I can take my buisness elsewhere rather than just having a lawsuit help them to retain customers? Seems silly to me.

I won't be using it.
