aint sure about other members here; but my visit to the site has drastically come down after the launch of belounge 

I visited once and thought it was a disaster!!

BeoLounge was useless. Just a very, very enervating way of presenting information.

Yes, I think I have visited Beolounge twice. Once on its first day, and one other time because I was looking for something.
Please take note, B&O.

It's not updating for me....

it just looks the same? What is new?????

I've just had to look "enervate" up in the dictionary - suprised to find that cr4p wasn't listed as a definition!

As a company that gained a reputation for making things quick and simple to do, their website (and especially the beodear lounge) is terrible.

Working fine for me? even shows the BV7 40 with bluray?

As for Beolounge, its not really that bad.. could be a LOT better though and imo just needs developing into a better format with more options and less control.  If they could integrate the fundamentals/principles of what makes a conventional forum work I think it would work a lot better.

Amazes me how offended people get over material things!

I don't think a website is "material" mobeyone. The criticism was at BeoLounge, not the main site, though I wouldn't mind if they would play some real music there.

At BeoLounge there's crap music playing, there's the tedium of going through introductions, or navigating in a very cumbersome way, there's the repetition of how information is presented, there's very little interactivity, and the whole thing is just not very engaging. While it's all very glitchy.

Yes, one can imagine the intention - and I have a very fast internet connection, but I'm just incredibly annoyed by the whole thing. Let me find the info I want, fast - do engage me, but make it optional.

BeoLounge is still up, though, at beolounge.com - it was the main site that was updating, and it's now online again.

To end on a positive, this is the best thing B&O has done in years:

Regarding Beolounge, I think it is simply not targeted to people like us that know the brand.

It is not a meant community either.

It is a way for people who are unfamiliar with the brand and who would not make the step to go to a shop to be introduced to the brands products and values.

If you are looking for info, there is still the main web site.

And if you're looking for a customer community, there is Beoworld.
