David Gasior, webmaster van Vortex of Sound, laat in een post op zijn forum weten dat het bericht van de Franse site Clubnic.com over een overname van Aureal door Creative Labs onjuist is. Volgens de informatie die David van zijn bronnen heeft gekregen is er nog steeds geen overeenstemming bereikt. Het hoogste bod van Creative zou nu al op 35 miljoen dollar liggen:
As of yesterday, Creative has not bought Aureal. None of the people I have been getting information from have said a deal was final. In fact, one person told me that he heard that Creative made a $35 million offer - but no one else has been able to confirm that yet.
The news at that French site (clubnic.com or whatever) is just a rehash (and a bad one at that) of news that we posted over a week ago. So please don't email me with the link that Creative has bought Aureal or that they're bidding $21 million dollars. We know. We already posted it. Try reading our news before sending it back to us.
Thanks Dark voor de tip.
