X-cal 1 To Become Useless?

[Headsex]

that's right.. I can confirm they removed the "Flash Xcal1 and Xcal2" menu items...

The smartest thing to do right now is NOT UPDATE the software until you run out of flash counters!

[SubJimbo]

They removed the XCAL 2 Menu item already too? Farrrrk

Holy freaking GOD!!! I was going to organise a tune in the next couple of days!

PHUCKING MONKEYS!!!

Does anyone with a legal background think we (customers/tuners) may have a course of legal action to possibly investigate?

Or because it's an OS company, does that make it impossible?

Class action possibly?

I'm pretty sure nothing can be done about it because they are an OS company, which is what makes it even worse... just have to bend over and take it.

Well I can imagine, especially with most people tightening their belts to a certain degree at the moment, there will be a decent amount of custom tune bookings being canceled when people find out they need an extra $1000 to buy the Xcal3.

Tuners will have their business affected (both from loss of income and angry customers who don't understand, shaking fists at them) while customers are being FORCED to spend money re-buying essentially the same product...

Plenty of pissed off people will be out to see some heads roll imo...

Whilst it doesn't sound like it's their fault, would Herrod (as the official sole Aussie distributor) be the ones that were held legally liable? (Or at least SCT via Herrod).

Or are SCT within their rights to do this??

I beleive any company that sells a product is required to stock replacement parts and provide technical support for the product for up to 10 years after the product is taken off the market. Whether that applies to this situation I'm not to sure
