What's the buzz

The price war among China's major online retailers has attracted a lot of attention and buyers, although many netizens believe it to be a purely promotional stunt. Has the price war forced you to become an impulsive buyer? And what's your opinion on the price war itself? China Daily's mobile phone news readers share their views:

Initially, I was attracted by the seemingly large-scale price cut in an advertisement. But I was disappointed when I paid close attention to the campaign. Home appliances were limited and goods on discount always out of stock in the online stores. Besides, I was worried about the quality of the goods sold on discount and the after-sales service. I think online retailers are trying to draw more customers on the pretext of a price war. They hardly offer any substantial benefit to consumers.
