    Re: Saw a pic today!! BS8

    I think you would be disappointed by the amount of 'secret info' that we get! Laughing The sheep tend to spill the salient features anyway! I don't think discussion of new products is banned anyway! The problem always comes when products are rubbished before all the details are known. Equally the posting of pictures which may or may not be accurate seems to cause problems rather than help. I have no problems one way or another persoanlly though as I have no official communication with B&O!

    Re: Saw a pic today!! BS8

    Alright all this discussion made me curious. I found 2 pictures, but not that "spanish site".

    No idea if these are legit. Make of it what you want:

    The first one looks pretty nice, in a retro-futuristic-ken-adams kind-of-way.

    Now lets see if anybody censors this :-)

    These pictures are not of the BeoSound 8...it looks far more classy than that!

    I have seen the product, but as you all know, us dealers are not allowed to show pictures of the product, but believe me it will be worth the wait - very special!

    I hope that the pics on that site were fake. To me it didn´t look to hot. And they surely were photoshopped.

    Anybody who saw them, and have seen the real deal at a dealer? Were they real?

     

    Edit: Sheffield beat me to it. 

    That was what I was hooping for.

    And now you know why we don't just post any old picture on this site. There are three versions in those pictures! I am sure we will get good pictures and reviews soon!

    Just for the record, B&O don't 'sponsor' BeoWorld !!   Never has one pound, Kroner or Euro in sponsorship money passed from B&O to BeoWorld - ever.

    And i've already emailed B&O to say images are doing the rounds on the net and could end up on BeoWorld.

    All we wish to do is be cordial and civil to the brand we are all here to enthuse about, not screw up product launches they spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on.  That said, as mentioned, i emailed B&O yesterday to say images were doing the rounds and it's the dealers who let them out who should be under the spotlight, not us.

    Sorry to throw the cat amongst the pidgeons; but surely as an enthusiasts site, isn't this the place where we do try to find out what's coming and share that with other like minded enthusiasts? As enthusiasts, talking about and seeing upcoming products has to be a good thing pre-launch, as it creates a buzz and gives it free publicity. This helps in giving great momntum to a product launch. 

    I don't agree that we should be 'choked' just because we're worried about offending a company or 'ruining' a product launch. Remember we are B&O's customers. We buy the products they make, thereby giving them revenues and (hopefully) profit. It is B&O who need to be cordial and civil to its customers, not the other way round.

    Without customers there is no B&O

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that B&O do sponser this site with products for the Prize Draws rather than with cash.

    Re: Saw a pic today!! BS8

    Very few of the prizes come from B&O. The vast majority (and I mean vast) come from Lifestyle AV and Lee. This partially paid for by the membership fees. Prizes like the golf bits come from B&O. As far as B&O being led by what we want, I think the majority of B&O users are not on or indeed have heard of Beoworld. We are a fairly eclectic bunch, but not necessarily mainstream.

    I don't know where this has come from but Beoworld NEVER moderate anything unless it is deemed to be in contravention to the posting guidelines , and even here some leniency has often been shown.

    B&O have never sponsored Beoworld and are never going to do so - the moderating team will stand firm on this and that is our promise.

    Not sure you need to speak Spanish to look at pictures. The ones there are photoshopped but are much more accurate than the others.

    Re: Saw a pic today!! BS8

    Are these photoshopped pics closed to reality ?

  • 11-06-2010 12:36 PM In reply to

    Re: Saw a pic today!! BS8

    Sometimes I've though that some BeoWorld users/members think that this is the only way to know something real about B&O. I think that, in the internet universe, there are many worlds, beyond this BeoWorld.

    I like BeoWorld, I'm a user (not a member) since about 4 years ago. A few time ago I was more active, but the spanish forum on BeoWorld is not more avalible, so I'm not so active than before, because my english is not one of my better things Stick out tongue But I visit BeoWorld maybe 4 or 5 times a week, and I really enjoy it.

    The BS8 pics that some of you have seen aren't photoshopped, they're are from the final model of the new BS8, that will be officialy launched next week. No matter if the source is an unofficial BeoSite, the things is that we can see them: the news run faster than the world that produces them...

    So, I trust that the BeoWorld staff will offer us a real interesting review next 10th november, but for now, for those that can't wait until Xmas to open your gifts, you can find these pics and enjoy them without fear, no BeoSWAT will come through your window to take you away to a Struer secret jail Stick out tongue And for those that prefer keep the mistery, you only have to wait 4 days Wink The two options are perfectly respectable.

    We're all internet users and we know that Internet is free, although there are people that want to put it locked doors, you only have to choose correctly and carefully the door that you want to open. From an insane BeoLover (this is me), I don't think that 3 pics of a real nice, superb and unique gadget as the BS8 will be, doesn't make bad to anybody, here or in another world Smile

    I still think the black version is photoshopped! Smile We have not been privy to these pictures and we would not wish to pinch them from the Spanish site.

    As said before, we are not censoring anything - hence this thread still running!

    Of even more interest, it will also work with Airport Express via USB. No ML now though.

    To me the white pix look like the real deal, the black ones look 'shopped, as one can see the uneven edges, where the black colour was 'filled' into the former white area. I like the thing, it looks quite clean for a Lewis-design, not as 'baroque' as his pre-bv10 works for B&O.
