Netgear Settlement

[gspyer]

Netgear Settlement. If you have a qualifying product and make a claim, you can get 15% off the Netgear store.

I swear, these laywers should get paid in the same "currency" that the case is settled in. Apparently the laywers get $700,000. Still, it is a hot deal if you were going to buy from Netgear anyways and have something to cliam.

Blame the judges for agreeing to the settlements. Thanks for the deal, I think my Netgear router just died.

I cant tell WTF the class action lawsuit was about. All it says is "false advertising" what false advertising? Were they like advertising speeds that were impossible to achieve? It says wireless so maybe the 125mb or 54mb speeds companies like to trumpet?

So lets see, 15% list when any good sale will make it 50% list.


Pass

You also have to have purchased a Netgear product during the set time frame.
The "coupon" can be transferable, but is only a single use.

As Dogbert implied; why would one want a discount off of the MSRP.

NETGEAR WGT624 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router
Netgear Store price $89.99 - 15% = $76.49
Newegg price $69.99
Both prices before the $20 MIR.

NETGEAR WPN824 RANGEMAX Wireless Router
Netgear Store price $139.99 - 15% = $118.99
Newegg price $99.99

What a joke. Even with the coupon the store is more expensive than anywhere else.
Looks like the only winners of this lawsuit were the lawyers and Netgear.

Same as the creative deal where they lied on box and said audigy 1 was 24/96 when it wasn't. They gave out coupons for I think $25 or some such to buy a new card from creative store.

As usual, its the lawyers who make bank, everyone else gets screwed.

The only losers in this settlement are Netgear and the consumers. Then the only winner are the lawyers

This is a load of crap. I feel sorry for Netgear.

So I guess you are saying you have a problem with court decisions but you see nothing wrong with someone claiming there is a defect in a product when there is none!

It takes a plaintiff to complain.
It takes a lawyer to take the case.
It takes a judge to make and/or approve the final decision.

Who's got the most power here?
