Some Recent Logitech Revue Purchases were DOA

As if the Logitech Revue wasn’t doomed enough already after having a lousy adoption rate and prolonged Android upgrade, the Google TV box is getting another round of disappointing news. Some folks who had enough gusto to drop the cash for the seemingly reasonable and reduced price of $99 for the Revue over the holidays are reporting that their device was DOA.

Unfortunately many new owners are reporting that when they attempt to setup the Revue for the first time, it fails once they get to the point of accepting their EULA. Logitech hasn’t released any information on when and if a fix will be available, but many people are opting to just return the device for a refund.

I remember way back when I purchased my Revue for $99 only because I learned that it would eventually receive the Android upgrade. If it weren’t for Android, I wouldn’t have even bothered spending the money, and now with people hearing this latest news I can only imagine people being discouraged more than ever. How about you? Are you still contemplating on picking up one for yourself?

    This is definitely unfortunate. Logitech has been such a high quality, innovative, and design savvy gadget manufacturer for so many years, that I can’t help but agree with Logitech’s CEO, Guerrino De Luca, that Google’s lack of support throughout the post-launch process is largely responsible.

    I own a Revue, after first owning, then returning a Revue for the Sony Blu-Ray version, then returning the Sony for the Revue after the recent update to 3.1. I am still not convinced that the Revue is the right product for me, primarily because of lack of Logitech support moving forward, and the slower processor and smaller storage. I would like to see another manufacturer, or a renewed interest and investment from Google’s side, in the Logitech Revue, so that we don’t cut short what has the potential to be a fantastic shift in the user experience paradigm of TV and media consumption.
