Yeah, I just noticed the "tomorrow" part. If true, my props to Newegg.

I wonder if I should return my Auzentech X-Fi Prelude...

As such, effective tommorow morning newegg.com will suspend sales of the sound cards in question

We'll know tomorrow if it is true, but it most likely is true because they need to have access to that email to post with it.

EDIT: Was a little late, I see you edited your post

If this is true, Newegg ROCKS!! They really do care for their customers.

NewEgg wins.

(To Creative): Fatal1ty.

I want to remind everyone you can make it look like an email is coming from an address it really isn't. I am not familiar with the method of doing it but it is possible and Yahoo! mail even has a filter for it.

This user's post sums it up nicely:

Quote:

Even the Titanic sank.. Though you Creative are not on your maiden voyage...you have built a awesome business with a product that worked and people (customers) that supported you. Sailing away becoming a "Legend" in your own minds...Your company has got a big head thinking you now are undistructable. Daniel_K was picking up where you left off...where you dropped support. He was forum hit...OUR "magic" man....

By not heading the issues of YOUR SUPPORTERS..you too will go down like the Titanic. The Creative 'bashing' does not end in just this forum....YOU now made a tidal wave of commotion on the whole internet. The letter that you sent Daniel_K..is now probably the most read thing at this time...and it is showing people..your customers (past & present)..how you drop support to make another quick buck.

We all realize that your chip is also in a competitors brand..who im sure we will all ignore also. As there is a NEW MAN stepping up...A player who has been in the business for a long time also....a Famous MOTHERBOARD manufacturer (hint 4 letters and starts with an A) that has one hell of a nice looking soundcard.

You now have found your iceberg (Danile_K & all your customers)...Read the forums...you pissed many off...and theres no one to blame, but yourselfs for lack of FEEDBACK, DRIVERS & SUPPORT.

Hmm.. *Hopes for a price drop so I can get a nice audio card for my XP system*

*Murlocke* · 03-30-08

Hehe.

but surely that addy is registered to newegg.... can't imagine they left it open

$100 says this is an April fools prank.

If it isn't then I bet Creatives driver department won't be getting their Chrismas bonus' this year if they put out any more crappy drivers.
