they did that on purpose hahah

Agreed. It’s actually more awesome typoed.

Sounds a bit like ‘fecal’ when you say it out loud

Someone’s gettin’ officially fired.

horrible marketing strategy. No logic or reason and it would actually cost them more to do this than to just put the product on sale. And all it says is “Hey, look, we’re stupid!” McDonalds wouldn’t purposely take a bite out of a Big Mac then say it’s 40% off now. That’s gross and officially stupid.

actually no it doesn’t say theyre stupid… and that McDonald’s comparison is actually way off and makes no sense. Theyre not selling a broken control vinyl.. or half of one.. its just a spelling typo.
so its more like Mcdonalds selling a Big Mac and the box spelling Bigg Mac. thats all.

I bought 20. They’ll be collectors items in the future!

Does NI sell sick control vinyls like Serato does ??

Yessir, unfortunately they spell them correctly so no hope for collectors item :P

Yeah I grabbed some glow in the darks like it was a riot.

No. NI doesn’t have good looking vinyl like Serato. They have some colors, sure but none of that special artist edition shit.

“such an gear-acquisition” in your article should be “such a gear-acquisition”… starting off an article pointing out a grammatical error with one of your own, lol. Sorry to bust you on this.

PS, I understand that’s not the point of the article, but ironic nonetheless.

Thanks for noticing, I’ve corrected it (something Serato can’t do).
If we’re getting semantic, the article points out a spelling error, not a grammatical error. :D

Suspect this was deliberate. No such thing as bad press. If you’re planning to discount a product whose customer base is relatively static and where the product itself has a significant shelf life then this is a very clever way to do it without upsetting people who just paid full whack for the same product.

If only they mis-spelled their shipping rates – $38 to the UK!!!

Sorry fella but you mean pedantic (not semantic as you have written). Semantics is the study of the relationships between signs & signifiers in language and consciousness, what ‘words’ mean in culture, Pedantry is obsession with small details… such as I am exhibiting here! ;)

Thats what I`m thinking

Very true, I guess I havent really been looking for anything crazy like that seeing as im still on an s2 and touch osc. Not sure what my next bit of kit may be. possibly the X1
