Name 1 source device under $500 that gets support past 5-6 years? And this is the 1st time SONOS has done something like this, although it could become a norm.
I'm not a SONOS fan. And I've only got a few dozen systems out there. But people losing their $hit over 6+ year old equipment, that is going to get 'reduced' functionality, is comical. For customers that have huge SONOS systems and thousands of $ invested in it. Yeah it kind of sucks for them. But they are getting 30% towards new equipment. That would save those big systems thousands of $ upgrading by itself.
I do agree dealers not getting a heads up was BS. And from what I here, only direct dealers can participate in the rebate program. And it isn't that great for them anyway. But this is SONOS; they have NEVER been dealer friendly. Not in the least. They could care less if we all fell off the face of the planet.
