Hi All Singapore Stuff,
SPH has been strongly advertising their Business Times News Tablet bundle on Facebook. The deal offers subscribers access to the Business Times via their exlcusive SPHtab e-paper app which is pre-installed onto a Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite (tablet). Subscribers can sign up for this deal at S$39.90 per month for 30 months.
However if anyone tries to point out that the deal is really a bad deal, that person is quickly blocked, and his comment deleted. I tried adding such a comment to their post(https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=317276412873228) and was blocked within 5 minutes.
My comment:
$39.90 for 30 months = $1200, but
Single digital subscription for 30 months = $300 (http:// btsub.sg/ btp99)
Retail price of tablet = $650 (prices vary according to your trusted online electronics dealer)
So this means subscribers will actually be paying $900 (based on $1200 – $300) to get a $650 tablet, and get locked in for 30 months? Does this look like a good deal?
