Actually, looking at that image bothers me even more. Why? Because, for someone who actually understands the nuances of english, it actually implies that you get two free years of Xbox Live Gold, valued at $14.99/month, not that you must pay 2 years worth of $14.99/month. This is made worse by the image on the left, which, in conjunction with the main text (the large font part), suggests that you'll be getting Xbox Live Gold as part of that $99. Essentially, it reads as "...xbox live gold contract [valued] at $14.99/month". And while you and I are more than knowledgeable enough to know to re-read it, your typical late adopter isn't going to read it that carefully. It also doesn't say that the Xbox Live Gold contract is a necessary part of the deal. Although seeing that image does slightly change my opinion, I still stand by the overall assertion - that it's an underhanded ploy, rather than simply an alternate deal offering people the chance to pay it off over time. |
oh please. can you show us how you would like it? it seems nothing pleases you here. First it was that it used an asterik, now it explains it and you complain it may be misunderstood. Please show me some examples of how it should be. This is like any other ad. Its not under handed in any way.
You may read it as that, no one else seems too.
Wow, so everyone else lacks the knowledge to figure out this ad? it seems like its the other way around.
Maybe you should read all the text. "with new 2 year xbox live gold contract at $14.99/month"
Really whats the ssue here?
