Guest Lennyuk Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/advent_vega-...commercial.html Here are some points of note: - Apps/games availiable - erm without a market this is extremely missleading? - under the "office" tab - what the heck is that keyboard? "Compatible to the latest 3D viewing technology, you can also play 3D games, with no glasses required!" - huh!??? on a positive note, nice to see it advertised now Edit: Others people have noticed in this thread -34GB sd card support Edited February 22, 2011 by Lennyuk
Guest warriorscot Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 The keyboard on the office tab is obviously just a cut and paste photoshop job not really a big deal to me. The 3D thing sounds like they hired someone to do the advert that doesn't know the difference between a 3D game and 3D images. Really it just seems like its not been error checked.
Guest .stu Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 "Compatible to the latest 3D viewing technology, you can also play 3D games, with no glasses required!" - huh!??? Maybe that's why the viewing angles are so bad, coz you're 'sposed to be viewing it in 3D :huh: Talking about viewing angles, the photo they got with it lying flat like that implies that the viewing angles are fine - in reality from that angle the screen would be a mess..

Put as much effort into the grammar check and getting the facts right as you did with the fancy graphics (sarcasm) and you might not be so misleading. Maybe it is compatible with the latest 3D viewing tech! Maybe Advent are about to release an app that will allow holographic projection from the web cam!
Guest JonnyDixon Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Dam thats a pretty big bad mistake to say it supports 3d with no glasses.
Guest wobblydoggy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 haha noticed this this morning Jokers
Guest ptbw Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 I want one of those 34Gb SDCards! :huh:
Guest newbe5 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 I want one of those 34Gb SDCards! :huh: Frankly this is just embarassing advertising, misinformed at best, misinformation at worst....
Guest montage Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Dsg really need to stop letting the work experience kid loose on their live site...
Guest wobblydoggy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Dsg really need to stop letting the work experience kid loose on their live site... haha being a work experience kid last year, i truely hope it isn't one for he will feel their wrath. either way their marketing manager would certainly have had to check it prior to going live....?
Guest jamesie Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Lol, I think the best feature is the"vivid 10.1" HD display" , a must when playing 3D games without glasses!
Guest wobblydoggy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Lol, I think the best feature is the"vivid 10.1" HD display" , a must when playing 3D games without glasses! 1080p 6.5 hours.... I can't get 6.5 seconds of 1080p without it juddering...?
Guest shadow wave Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Looking forward to the update that turns our screens into 3D. Hopefully we can port some 3DS games. :huh:
Guest HunteronX Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) I want one of those 34Gb SDCards! :) Both this and the lie about 3D games, are really quite terrible mistakes... It seems like nobody checked the page at all. :huh: Edited February 22, 2011 by HunteronX
Guest AndiTails Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 To be fair, it says play 3D games with no glasses required, well, I wear contact lenses, so don't need to wear my glasses, and if you have 20:20 vision, you wouldn't need to wear glasses too... maybe, it's just "in focus"? LOL! What a terrible advert. Unresearched at best. The mention of the Market Place is the biggest faux pas.. But, let's remember, this is DSG, makers of the great Christmas Game "Toss Off an Elf" and other great classics... I don't think they really care!
Guest thedicemaster Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 1080p 6.5 hours.... I can't get 6.5 seconds of 1080p without it juddering...? 1080p doesn't mean just any 1080p HD video. only a few formats with low framerates will run in 1080p, and you need to use a player that supports tegra2 hardware-acceleration(so, stock-based players only)
Guest moghm Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Looks like they are rushing as honeycomb tablets around the corner. I know, those tablets are much more expensive. I have reserved one and going to have a look at it, but am only going to buy one if I know that honeycomb can be ported on it for sure. Not a big fan of DSG, period.

Guest QLF Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 How about this: "or up to 16 hours for audio playback only (LCD off). " Didn't realise you could do this.... I thought everything, (including wifi), died when the screen wen't into sleep mode....?

Guest Sir Gash Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 The ad has been rectified now well player DSG.... the perfect crime So they have, but not the bit about using the mythical 34GB microSD cards :huh:
Guest sipart Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 "The Vega is also great for gaming.You can download games from any of the thousands Android Apps available" Updated and replaced with more mis-leading statements and bad grammer!
Guest moghm Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Get this guys. Reserved one at PC world for last night, just incase I could demo it and if I liked it i would have bought it. Not much staff there, went to the tablet counter, they had the various ones, samsung, amico, kindle, but no vega!!! Went to currys next door and asked the sales person if they had vegas in sales man: yes we do me: are they on display ? salesman: no me: when wil they be on display salesman: ermmmm, in about a week. what ? I dont understand this, why cant they just put one on display if they have them in stock. especially after that huge internat campaign they are doing at the moment. weirrrddd!!!
