New VCI-400 EGE Bundle
Posted on: 07.04.2012 by Laurene Oleszkowicz
Does anyone else feel like they were punished for buying the 400 EGE early ($1099) as it is now available in a bundle with a bag for $1079?

This makes me feel a little cheated for being one of the first. It doesn't seem right to me.

I just got the email. It contains:

a $189 discount code for a mono bag, powertools download, and new EGE mapping update download.

Shipping has to be covered by us and no blue cord.

just got an email from Ean!! seems we should have received an email before the bundle was advertised. Looks like all previous 400 EGE purchases will have the bundle offer also!! But still waiting on the official word as stated by tlandrecht above!!!

I would hold off contacting and emailing them till they update us.

I just spoke with a DJTT representative, and he assured me that they are currently in the processing of drafting an email to everyone who has purchased the VCI-400 EGE which will alleviate all our concerns

edit: and we should receive that email today.

To those that have emaiiled DJTT, please keep everyone on this thread informed. I'm tempted to send an email as well but will hold off since several of you have already written them... You may want to try calling though. I've typically had success calling as long as it is during their normal working hours which are a bit limited.

While I understand DJTTs position, it certainly has made me believe twice about picking up the Midi Fighter 3D on release! Particularly if the discounting is only an additional 6 weeks wait, as it was in this case..

I completely agree with this statement. I purchased my VCI-400 EGE about 2 weeks ago and I feel a bit cheated. I would most definitely pay some sort of admin fee and shipping etc if we could receive access to a special package to support their initial buyers. I have been a loyal customer of DJTT for quite a while and have purchased hundreds of dollars of gear from them. Hopefully DJTT can offer some sort of way to compensate to their loyal supporters. Why should we be punished for being early adopters of their products?

Edit: I am also going to be holding off on buying a midi fighter 3D for the time being too..

without our input, our trust in their company, the vci-400 EGE could have been a flop. we took that chance and not a cheap one, of buying a controller from a small mainly online store. one that offers no extended warranty i.e. guitar center's pro plan (basically covers EVERYTHING). a controller that is altered and only reviewed by those that made it. we took this chance. we gave our input, input that is used to make the controller better. we help test their product, fix bugs and make it more marketable to others that were more weary and in this case at the advantage. ONLY 300! they screamed from the early email that went out. i bought it that moment because i knew DJTT had my best interest in mind. i started with a vci100se why not ditch the s4 and come back "home"? now to offer an awesome package is so bittersweet. i love it because this is what i LOVE about DJTT. but i feel its a kick in the face to offer 200 worth of kick ass gear to everyone but us. we love you. how could you do this? i mean i already bought the usb cord, two of em actually because i couldn't decide if i wanted right angle or not. ha my POINT is not to be a brat but to just ask why not us? why make us REGRET buying YOUR controller early?

Thing that bugs me the most is my order went on hold and got shipped on Thursday. I spoke to them on the phone but no one told me to hold off a day for the bundle special. Could be he didn't know about it?

But it's happened plenty of times that the sales clerk tells me to hold off for the sale or gives me the deal a day or so after the sale has ended. I've also had stores reimburse me the savings with me showing them the receipt.

K here's hoping, waiting for response from DJTT.........

It is wishful believeing that they will reimburse us but if they care about their customers something will be done. I am for sure waiting to buy my 3d fighter, if ever buying it now..

@groovemixer

I see exactly what you mean, and I agree, I love the site and community s, I guess I'm just mad because I feel cheated, because I sold my S4 as fast as I could just so I could get this, when I could've waited and gotten a better deal.

Honestly, if they reimbursed the 300 or so that ordered before the deal with a voucher or something of that sort, they wouldn't be THAT far out.

That's probably just wishful believeing though.
Fady Soliman
09.04.2012
I agree but do you really believe they will give it to all those who purchased the EGE from the start? I doubt it. I doubt they will give it to me but I do still have the chance to return it as to their policy.

They have opened a big can of worms with this. Should of waited to offer this deal. I still love this site and form, been here for a while but this is the first purchase I made. My second purchase will all depend on how this gets handled. I hope they will respond today sometime.

Im guessing for all purchases within the 15 day limit you can return it as to the 100% guarantee policy at the top left of the link.

How is it fair that the people who JUST ordered their VCI's should get the deal? Should we all not get the deal? In regards to the 100% satisfaction guarantee, if this whole deal isn't fixed, I would definitely return it on the basis of being overly dissatisfied.

WE TRUSTED YOU!
Seriously, we were basically the "guinea pigs" for the controllers. I sold my S4 on a whim and I'm happy with my purchase, but this almost makes it not worth it. Seriously, we tested it, we've been giving feedback, asking questions etc, while others sat back and had much more info to make a decision off of, and now get rewarded for waiting.

Agree!! I sent them a message Friday evening when I saw the ad. I bought my S4 with a deal but that was a good 8 months after initial release. 6 weeks in not fair and looks negative on the store for future purchases.

I agree this should of been done at the beginning of the 400 release or wait a while, I believe it's too soon for a bundle, makes all those who bought first feel ripped off. That said if anything new comes out best thing is to wait it out.

Hey !
I totally agree with what you wrote and I just sent a message to the DJTT support to ask them to understand what we are facing
Hope they'll answer in a positive and understanding way ...

Well I'm satisfied with my unit so I don't feel "punished for buying it early". But I can't deny feeling frustrated considering the immense price drop on the controller bag which I bought at the same time I purchased my VCI-400 EGE...
