Yes it was very clear, but then dji moved the goalposts and offered a much better deal, and this is a basic insult to those who only days before this announcement bought at what they thought was and would be the only deal.
I really love when those who didn’t buy out of the blocks tell everyone they shouldn't jump in and buy early release, if those people took your advice then no one would buy early so there would be no release.
i think you already know this and yes, we know where you are coming from but ultimately this is all about risk. Ordinarily I buy right away. I don't believe the "early adopter" is an economic term so i only associate it with bugs, etc. You have to know that eventually there will be discounts, sales, upgrade offers, etc and when you buy, you have to be comfortable with that thought. One day, it's going to happen. For many it will be days and hours, if you are lucky it is weeks and months. I factor in return periods, warranties, etc in the risk when i think about buying. If it were june, i would buy just like you....early buyer. Honestly I have to say since it is january winter, this put me over the top and now i wait. I pre-ordered the Autel Evo Nano+ premium and I'm still waiting and it is unknown but I'm willing to take the risk. Being an early adopter is willing to dive in without the complaints. Bugs, safety issues fine but prices....what if best Buy has a 50% drone sale this weekend? I get it, it's dji fault and they know it and they sound like they are trying to make amends but it works both ways. The opposite is also true. When skydio announced the 2+, I ordered it right away. What risk am I taking? that the price will go UP next month or later this year. Am i expected to reimburse skydio? hardly. i don't even have the skydio yet and it already feels like a win. you win some, you lose some. im not the greedy american that always had to win every battle and sometimes i take it on the chin because i've had more than my fair share of wins. But I agree with you, this one is a little bit bigger than taking it on the chin. DJI screwed this up and it was self-inflicted, i don't think this is the market talking and the customer should not bear the full load this time. Combined with the extended warranty/care already offered, if I were DJI i would give you $400 in dji money. |
