Very few of the prizes come from B&O. The vast majority (and I mean vast) come from Lifestyle AV and Lee. This partially paid for by the membership fees. Prizes like the golf bits come from B&O. As far as B&O being led by what we want, I think the majority of B&O users are not on or indeed have heard of Beoworld. We are a fairly eclectic bunch, but not necessarily mainstream.

Sorry to throw the cat amongst the pidgeons; but surely as an enthusiasts site, isn't this the place where we do try to find out what's coming and share that with other like minded enthusiasts? As enthusiasts, talking about and seeing upcoming products has to be a good thing pre-launch, as it creates a buzz and gives it free publicity. This helps in giving great momntum to a product launch. 

I don't agree that we should be 'choked' just because we're worried about offending a company or 'ruining' a product launch. Remember we are B&O's customers. We buy the products they make, thereby giving them revenues and (hopefully) profit. It is B&O who need to be cordial and civil to its customers, not the other way round.

Without customers there is no B&O

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that B&O do sponser this site with products for the Prize Draws rather than with cash.

I don't know where this has come from but Beoworld NEVER moderate anything unless it is deemed to be in contravention to the posting guidelines , and even here some leniency has often been shown.

B&O have never sponsored Beoworld and are never going to do so - the moderating team will stand firm on this and that is our promise.

Alright, but I think I found that spanish site:

 

Now all we need is somebody who speaks spanish… 😐

 

Next time try me compadre.😁

I hope Big BeoWorldbrother permits me, but maybe googling "beospain"... 🤔

Certainly, I loved to open secretely my Xmas gift in november, and not for this I loved my parents less :P

I tried that but unfortunately my "2 beers please" Spanish vocabulary let me down😮

Not sure you need to speak Spanish to look at pictures. The ones there are photoshopped but are much more accurate than the others.

One more time: googletranslating 😎

Are these photoshopped pics closed to reality ?

Sometimes I've though that some BeoWorld users/members think that this is the only way to know something real about B&O. I think that, in the internet universe, there are many worlds, beyond this BeoWorld.

I like BeoWorld, I'm a user (not a member) since about 4 years ago. A few time ago I was more active, but the spanish forum on BeoWorld is not more avalible, so I'm not so active than before, because my english is not one of my better things 😎 But I visit BeoWorld maybe 4 or 5 times a week, and I really enjoy it.

The BS8 pics that some of you have seen aren't photoshopped, they're are from the final model of the new BS8, that will be officialy launched next week. No matter if the source is an unofficial BeoSite, the things is that we can see them: the news run faster than the world that produces them...

So, I trust that the BeoWorld staff will offer us a real interesting review next 10th november, but for now, for those that can't wait until Xmas to open your gifts, you can find these pics and enjoy them without fear, no BeoSWAT will come through your window to take you away to a Struer secret jail 😎 And for those that prefer keep the mistery, you only have to wait 4 days 😕 The two options are perfectly respectable.

We're all internet users and we know that Internet is free, although there are people that want to put it locked doors, you only have to choose correctly and carefully the door that you want to open. From an insane BeoLover (this is me), I don't think that 3 pics of a real nice, superb and unique gadget as the BS8 will be, doesn't make bad to anybody, here or in another world 🙂

I still think the black version is photoshopped! 🙂 We have not been privy to these pictures and we would not wish to pinch them from the Spanish site.

As said before, we are not censoring anything - hence this thread still running!
