why would they reimburst people if they already bought it? no one had a gun to their head. sometimes you just gotta wait for the deals.

and if you read its only for the FIRST 20 orders...once thats fulfilled, they go back to normal price

when you spend 2200 for something then they drop the price on it whether temporary or not thats shady **** plain and simple hide behind its a business move blah blah blah its still crap and your sh!tting on the ones that paid there dues first. again buy something thats 2200 then let them drop the price a week later on you and tell me you will be perfectly cool with it. Until you spend that kind of money then its easy to talk BS .

No matter what it is some customers are always willing to pay top-dollars to be the first ones on the block to get any given item. TV's, cars, turbos, whatever it may be. In this economy sale prices are guaranteed (especially around Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years), you just have to be patient and wait.

No they shouldn't, it's called a sale, it's not like this is a permanent price drop. Essentially what you're saying is all prices should be static regardless of supply and demand so no one gets pissed off.

The lag between the red and black is almost neglible. Most of the bigger name tunign shops here have said black all the way.

If you are in the market for a red get a black. It seems as though for the 100-200 rpms more spool time you will get more power back which makes the lag an afterthought.

I wonder if FP realizes this is going to cannibalize their Red sales.

Saying you deserve a refund is bs. Do all the people that bought xbox when they were new deserve a refund because they dropped the price? Your paying to have one first, thats how it works.

Wow, you kinda missed the similarity between the xbox scenario and yours. I will help you; THEY'RE THE SAME!!

I can see how you could be a bit off put, I've been exactly where you are now, but seriously, you were happy to buy it when you did or you probably wouldn't have made your purchase. I highly doubt you couldn't have come to the realization that if you waited you may have found the same turbo for a smaller price prior to your choice to buy. You bought. That's your price. Don't begrudge FP their business practices, it makes you seem less than grown up.

**UPDATE**

The deal only applies for 5 fp blacks. the ones they have in stock left on the shelf. the website is a type-o price is right but only 5/5 only and was not suppose to happen till after the holiday season. that makes sense now just finishing off the remaining stock to get it out of there. So i guess if you want one then your really hard pressed for time. after that sold out and i guess the six flag line begins
