Should Datel be able to lie?

Having bought a max media dock I have been very dissapointed with its compatibility with homebrew / gba. Whats makes it worse is that Datel basically lie on their site about what the max media player is capable of.

For example this picture of a lost episode on ds with what looks like a max media player skin on lower screen is not even a feature of the max media player. You need to use moonshell, a seperate application

They even lie about it being able to play GBA files. at this link http://us.codejunkies.com/mpds/links_games.htm

"As well as being the ultimate DS home brew solution, MAX Media Player is perfect for running GBA programs"

Actually Max media player cant launch gba files at all.

Surely they shouldnt be able to get away with these blatent lies?

They better release a new software version before someone decides to sue them.

yea... in lots of pictures they also show it coming with a media manager disk.. wich it doesnt.

they just want people to buy it. i fell for it, and now im selling mine on ebay, and buying an m3, because it is 10 times better, even without the company lying. hopefully, though the mmp will get a new update for videos very soon, though.

I agree, but i heard that the disk was just a to put files on the Dock, but they redid the software to work like a removable disk. HOWEVER! ITS CRAZY CAUSE THEY ARE TOO LAZY TO TAKE ANOTHER PICTURE!!!!

Someone should threaten to sue, they'd either stop making this $#@! or step up there game.

Not it isnt, exaggerating is part of marketing, but you cant blatently lie, a company cant say they won best seller if they didnt, or that it can do something when it can't, if it has no option for .gba files and says it plays .gba files, thats illegal basically.
