Corsair WTF?

[RadiclDreamer]

Was searching for the corsair website to RMA a stick of memory and noticed their tag on their site Says corsair = the best crucial = tacky

Is it just me or does anyone else find this in poor taste?

Still, do you not think its in poor taste to bash the competition? I can see saying you are better, but to actually down them looks bad.

I have the "tacky" Crucial in my system, I'm a fan of the tacky LED lights on it lol.

All we need now is for Kingston to slam them both.

I didn't watch the video, because I didn't want to waste 6.5 minutes of my life .. but I'm going to guess that the two dudes doing the review actually made that distinction and Corsair is just using it for advertising (thus why they posted the review on their site). So really.. who cares?

 

[Quiksilver]

Meh, I wouldn't call it bad as I seen worse. It's just marketing.
Kind of like that whole Asus VS Gigabyte fiasco not long ago.

I mean it's not like they put it in the meta tags or something...

 

[natto fire]

Well they named their company a word that is synonymous with pirates, so they have been pretty tame as far as I can tell.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

Their RMA process sucks, been 3 days since I filled out the form and not even an rma number

Most of you guys realize that Corsair, Kingston and Crucial are rebadgers, right? Back when I sold components, I had the same stuff, right down to the PCB markings, same layers, same chips, etc. They sell their brand and their warranty. That's whats made them famous.

 

[Goosemaster]

Perhaps Crucial is tacky and we just didn't know it? how good of the nice people at Corsair to let us know without delay...

G.Skill FTW? They make some really great priced overclocking ram.

 

[Leros]

That doesn't seem like a review, it seems like an advertisement.

To my knowledge crucial is part of micron who make their own chips.

basically, the review said neither are worth the price tag w/ the guy on the left whoring out Corsair.
