Audiophile told me something today...(regarding Sony "Wegas")

[beer]

regarding Sony Vegas. Did you know that it's actually a V with a shadow, not with a W? At least that's how Sony intended it. I found it interesting...

 

[konichiwa]

Then why is the website http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/wega/ as opposed to -vega?

 

[beer]

The shadow V is actually best draw as a W...at least I would think

 

[konichiwa]

Then why'd you call it a Vega?

 

[beer]

Pronounced Vega

 

[konichiwa]

Wait, if it's supposed to be a 'V' with a shadow, why is the 'shadow' part in front of the 'V'?

[joohang]

No, konichiwa. The black "V" is the shadow.

 

[konichiwa]

No, because then the rest of the text would be a shadow too. And that wouldn't make sense.

 

[joohang]

Hmm... well, it's a work of art. You are not supposed to apply logic to these things.

 

[tim0thy]

does it matter if it's a wega or a vega. if i have one i would call it a gagga googoo for all i care

 

[divinemartyr]

I don't know about the shadow thing, but I do believe it's German, which is why it's pronounced Vega.

[joohang]

dm: That makes sense.

 

[DAM]

have you guys considered that perhaps that just perchance, you guys have way too much time in your hands?






dam(just a thought)

 

[Soybomb]

This thread should be really funny by 75 posts hehe. Wega, Vega with a shadow......who cares? You pronounce it "vega" like you'd say wagner as "vagner"

At first I called it Wega, too, but then I saw the commercials for it and they called it Vega. I call it Vega now, too.

DivineMartyr: It could be German, but Sony is a Japanese company, so why would they pronounce it in German?

I wonder why they didn't do something like this for their Vaio computers?

<< I wonder why they didn't do something like this for their Vaio comput >>


What do you mean? Look at the vaio logo, its a sine wave turning into IO representing analog to digital I guess. They are prouncing their logo......I think just using a real word is a step up.

 

[loogie]

VAIO stands for Video Audio Integrated Operation.

 

[joohang]

VAIO is an acronym; I can't remember what it stands for, though.

<-- VAIO fan

SuperSlim Pro: yum!
Slim Top Table PC: * drools *

 

I was always under the impression it was pronounced with a &quot;v&quot; sound.

 

[Rendus]

Copy and paste of a rant I posted previously.

For the people insisting it's 2 Vs overlaping, here's some evidence to the contrary:

1) http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/wega/ works, http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/vvega/ is a 404.

2) At http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/wega/products/kv36xbr400.html, the product description is: KV-36XBR400 36&quot; FD Trinitron® Wega? Color Television

3) Search any of the online shops for Wega. Now search for VVega. Note the abundance of results for Wega, and the absense of results for VVega.

I think Sony, if anyone, would know how to correctly spell the name of their products.

The same arguments apply to those arguing it's just one V.

 

[Smbu]

&quot;The same arguments apply to those arguing it's just one V.&quot;

It might be spelled with a &quot;w&quot;, but it's pronounced as &quot;Vega&quot;. That is how they say it during the commercials for the TV.

 

Call up sony tech support and ask them how its pronounced

 

[Smbu]

Check out this search I performed on Google for &quot;how is the sony wega pronounced?&quot;.

Check it out here.

All of them say &quot;Vega&quot;
