Revised, worse version? Can anyone else who has ordered recently (March 2010 or later) confirm that they are receiving an inferior version?

Its not the "cheaper version" its the new version without those features. You can find Hoover models with these items, I think its called Anniversary Edition, at WalMart and its like $125. I lucked out - went to Blain's Farm & Fleet and they had an "old" box in among the new ones....lo and behold, my version is the 2008 and has the headlight and bag full indicator. So I'm a lucky guy. BUT after having these features I can tell you I would not pay an extra $50 for them.....just open the panel every once and awhile and feel to see if the bag is full, and turn on the freakin lights in your room when you vacuum so you don't need a "headlight". Its disappointing that Hoover is removing these INEXPENSIVE TO BUILD features but my guess is this model was TOO MUCH OF A VALUE and they want to incentivize people to consider the Anniversary edition or other more expensive models by making you "compromise" and "do without" your headlight and bag indicator.....

sorry, can't help - would have liked that version, but bought mine just outside the window of being able to upgrade to the newest model.

Well gee. Wish I could help you out, but they sent the wrong one (one that other sellers had listed for much less and that had so-so reviews) then tried to tell me they'd done me a favor by sending a "better" one. Yeah right.

No they are not! I ordered these based off of these answers and was sent the 08/05 version!

This happened to me too, I ordered what is apparently the old model (ASIN: B000G1EQ1W), but was shipped the new model that shows up as a different product (ASIN: B000ULJU0A). This was bought and shipped from Amazon, not a different seller.

I got the old version. Maybe the new version is improved based on past comments?

The seller I bought from also shows version 7 and version 8. I bought two one at a time from the same vender. Both times I received version 8

A recent review says it is now the new version. Looks like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41wa2bQAnIL._SL500_SS100_.jpg

The manufacturer must have changed it, it's now an extremely inferior product now...

To answer my own question: I called Amazon and was told they had no replacements of that model available. They're going to email me a shipping label to print out and then credit my account.Since I called after hours I might try calling again to see if they are willing to make a deal with one of their 3rd party sellers to exchange it for the right model.I'm very disappointed. Love Amazon, but they should stop shipment if something's not available instead of substituting something that's worse than the advertised item.Someone must have thought we would not notice. :/

Just to confirm from a recent buyer, that if ordered from Amazon.com (not a 3rd party vendor), then a revision A03 or higher will ship?

They're right, it is deceptive advertising. The one they send you is actually the newer version of the game, no the one you see pictured here. The prompts on the card are situated differently. As far as it being "worse", that is the personal preference of those who said that. When I got mine, I was disappointed that it wasn't the older version pictured here. But I looked through it; it isn't terrible or anything. It is just fine. The terms are updated for our digital age, but I don't find anything inherently wrong with it.

God I hope not. I just ordered too. Feel free to message me if yours updates and I'll do the same.

No, this was the second updated version, though I think it was only software. I asked the same question myself, and eventually found the answer. Also, some of the products simply do not list the "B" in their description, but in fact if you look at the serial number etc. that is what you see.

That is a great question! I've ordered this item 5 times from third party vendors and received the OLDER version all 5 times! I've contacted Amazon a few times and informed them of the incorrect listing. No one seems to care to fix the problem at Amazon. Good luck!
