Im sorry, but this is different. Many people NEED Microsoft software, so forcing them to buy something they don't want with something they need iswrong...but you DON'T NEED to buy Jordans.

No doubt. Him and THB are the worst.
What is really sad about these 1st replies is everyone else that comes into the thread afterwards plays follow the leader and flames him. What's ironic issomeone started a thread about the 3M V's dropping in Europe as a non-pack, single sale, and people were asking "Why do they do that there and nothere?". "Why is it cheaper" "I wish they did that here"...If this thread's first replies were something about Europe making packsillegal without the side sales of singles, this thread would have went into a different direction.. Trolls FTL....

If you've looked at all my posts, which you haven't, I actually do help around the forum. Whenever something is posted in the wrong place for example,I post the link on where it is to be posted. I also help people that have questions as well. When you see me "bash others" it's because stuffthat is being posted is just plain stupid.
And the reason why packs can't be sold in places like France is because of some legislation (someone correct me/look it up). This won't happen here andthat is why I posted what I posted in my first comment.
There's members that have been here less than 5 months and have 4000+ posts so I'm not here to get my post count up. If that was the case I would be at10,00 by now because I'm on here 24/7. So please explain how I'm a troll. I really want to know.

to the OP, we're not really forced to only buy these packages from JB you know? I wasn't a fan, so I just passed on all but 2 packages

Maybe..who knows man. If you get yourself a super powerful lawyer then you can porbably do something about it.

I am an attorney. Sorry, it is not even in the ballpark of "illegal." Before you go posting this type of uninformed conjecture, think for a second.Don't you think Nike and JB have lawyers to make sure everything they do is not exposing them to suit? Be real. Make your own law, buy the pack and sellthe shoe you do not like.

Although i do agree with your conclusion the whole lawyer part pretty much goes against the whole MS getting sued thing... its improbable that itcould happen to Nike but possible.
Its the whole reason for this thread
It'd be bad business practice but it has happened b4...

You're claim is very flawed. Packs are NOT illegal. What you're referring to is that by U.S. law (under some age-old document),corporations cannot forcibly sell products to people. While you're claim is true that it is similar to tying, you must understand that the greatermajority of PC users still opt to buy the software. Moreover, a case like this would never see the light of day in front of the supreme court justice, letalone a local court house. Jordan brand isn't making anybody do anything. They're merely releasing products as a two-pack. Maybe this could be thefirst in the U.S. to site such a precedent (i.e. French national law prohibits this type of sale of dual product), however, to defend such a claim would takegreat TIME AND MONEY to fund the lawyers, research and building of civil claim against JB. And I'm sure JB is very well equipped with top-notch corporatelawyers. Sorry.

This is not tying. Tying is when a company sells one product conditionally, the condition being an additional (usually un-related) product must be purchased.So if Jordan Brand said " You only have the opportunity to purchase the Toro Bravo DMP 2 pack if you buy the XII's as well." that would be tying.Simply selling the shoes together is not tying, it is simply a package. It's like Lucky Charms man, even if you only wanna eat the marshmellows you gottabuy the whole box. Personally I don't care for the red V's, but they come in the package, so I'm gonna buy the pack, rock the 3M's and try tosell the reds on eBay.
why would you wanna sue Jordan Brand anyway??? lol

^Cereal is the worst at tying, I used to love Raisin Bran, but i usually just plucked all the raisins out then ate a little of the bran. They should have hadmostly raisins and two scoops of bran. You are corrupt Kelloggs, and you better get ready for the swift arm of justice!

wow, what a bunch of haters in this thread, more worried about their postcount, then a good and respectfull answer
has been a long time that i was on the jordan forum, will be a long time before coming back
the OP made a point.... most of the poeple who bought the package would only have bought one of the two shoes... but in a way, JB obligates you to pay an 150USD extra for a shoe, you actually don't want...
he just gives his idea, and i prefer reading posts like these then "which hat do i have to wear" or "is this a good deal"
