By the looks of the email you get a brand new set! Maybe see a lot of used Classics on Fleabay soon?

What part of the email makes you think it's a brand new set?? The fact the device is pictured with tags in the background??

I'm really sure that's not the case...

GG would be really stupid if they sent out complete new sets, thus flooding the market with used classic devices. If they did, here's what would most likely happen: every classic owner would sell his used set for around 99 GBP. This would give new user the opportunity to get GG at 50% of the new unit (if they don't need the new features), and the seller would basically get his LIVE unit for free.

Because it's half price on the bought page, can't believe they're going to offer the system then take the Unit out of the box, it says it's half price for Game Golf Live, not half price for half a set, maybe just a decent company looking after customers.
I would suggest those not taking up the offer could buy the live version and flog that for £150.00.
 
I sent the email below to Game Golf,

Hi,
I have received my email offering me the new Game Golf Live version for half price, can you please confirm if I will receive a new set of tags and a new unit for this price.
i.e. the whole system

The response was received in 4 minutes!!!

Hi Paul,

Many thanks for reaching out! Yes you will receive a full set of tags and a GAME GOLF LIVE device for the promotional price – it will come with everything you need. Thanks so much for your support and enjoy your week!

looks like they really do value their customers!:cheers:
 
I'm only interested in the shots saved stats then the live info and faffing around looking at your phone for the last monster drive you've just hit......... Think I'll stick with the classic.
 
I'd be interested in knowing what benefit people think they will get with the new one over the old one. It cant be used any differently that than the old one in competitions, meaning you can only use it in friendly rounds/practice rounds.

What are you then going to do with that information whilst out on the course? tell your mates 'the drive went 265yds' when realistically they dont care?

I'm sure there are some benefits, i'm just struggling to see them.

Totally agree, to me there is no difference from reading all the stuff on the web for competition,
Other uses (and I struggled to come up with them) if you are away you can link to your phone while playing and edit on phone afterwards, so no need for laptop/pc or waiting to get home to upload, use GG with the range finder element on phone, but if you have a garmin etc, why?, you can look at your round instant you're back in Clubhouse? (Banter about drives etc)
Only other, I'm considering, mine is 20 months old, 2 tags are U/S and rubber cover kept on by tape, new one is cheaper than classic and will be under guarantee.

Given how good their customer service is, i'd be suprised if they didnt just send you another one if you emailed them!

i can see the benefit if you don't have a PC - its means you can now get GameGolf.

Am i the only one that really enjoys uploading their round and editing it on the PC? especially after a good round (or monster drive)

Part of the fun for me, Did 5 days away this year playing 4 rounds and not being able to edit till I got home was slightly frustrating as couldn't remember all shots, so will help in that I suppose.
Still got a short while to take up offer or not, might go for it and sell one of them on.

yeah I suppose that's an issue when you have multiple courses to try and remember, but I would take an extra scorecard and mark down hit, missed etc. Not ideal but........

Email them. I emailed saying two of my tags had broken. Less than a week later a package arrived with 2 new tags in a nice new GG pouch. They're great. Just drop them an email.
 
I hadn't even considered the ability to sync without having a PC. That's basically sold it for me right there. Especially as I get to keep (sell) my classic.

I think I posted a while ago on this that when I was away for a week there was no way I could remember all the shots to make the correction when I get home.

So providing I can sync then make corrections with my iPad on the website afterwards it's well worth it.
