Sidney | 4th October 2005 18:28 | ATI warranty reduction explained Quote:
As ATI Technologies continues to grow as a company they are going to have to make some changes along the way. Sure, every company has growing pains along the way, but Legit Reviews does not see this warranty reduction as a bad thing. We hope that it will increase warranty competition among the third party builders and in the end it will be the consumers who win.

Well, I believe it is all B/S. ATI a public company is well known, so what? Private or public company, making money to the shareholdes is a given. Keeping inventory for warranty return does not happen to ATI alone. Replacement of current product at similar performance will satisfy a customer with $600 card that died after 15 months of occasional use.
Sorry, I just don't buy the excuse. Having products available at launch will have good bottom line result; paper launch and cutting warranty don't. |
