I have seen advance ads for stuff get pulled and meltdowns occur because of errors in release dates of the magazines  and the like
and now it seems someones post about it are gone (didnt read them so dont know the back story)
 
somebody fill a brutha in on the story..

X3 was not advertised on MF site. There were no pictures of the boxes and they were not posted in any freds. That what you can't see no moe DINT HAPPEN or summat like that. HTH.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is he still behind me ???

Probably a developer was testing the page(s) and posted them to live server instead of the test server. It happened in 8 or X1 IIRC.
 
Ewe did not think that CW announces the product release and on the same day the retailers "automajikally" have all the info?
 
Under NDA they (the developers) would get the images at least two weeks in advance to setup the web pages.

yes I know about the lead time, it happened with some Yamaha keyboards that appeared in digital print before the official release date.. links to it on a keybaord forum got yanked and arses were chewed...

I did not make a print screen of that non advertisement. Or did I?
 
 

I suspect one issue is that if a retailer "accidentally" puts up a page early and it is discovered and linked to, then other retailers might believe that is unfair to them. 
 
Which might explain the seemingly heavy handed responses...

so the skulltlebutt  is that X3 is baked, ready for delivery???

I'd say the "assumption" is made. And you know what happens when you assume.

 
Pfft....
 
It's not going to be called "X3" anyway.
 
My spies tell me it's actually going to be called "cKwLKbYrLnDsNrxtHr", in honour of how the program displays the names of our soundcards
 
Or "Mildred".
