I have to say that I completely disagree with your point there. I'm sure that 95% of people expect to be told some bollocks by a salesperson because in the end they want to make a sale. Where as with a review site, generally they're not out to make a sale so will have unbiased opinions.

Yes, as long as they don't sell the very items they are reviewing. Which is what the originator of this thread has been complaining about. ;-)

Yeah,i have to agree with that,I based my comments on the fact that i realised from the first visit that overclockers was nothing more then a advertising site for the products on Pcgear . co . nz .

Was told Computer Future in Ch Ch is owned by Noel Leeming.
There I was thinking I was buying from a small specialist.

185690 2003-10-23 08:47:00 And just to make matters worse,i had all the sites concerned mixed up,i do believe i was thinking of octools who a while back were tied in with pcgear.

My apoligies to any sites i may have slurred against in my moment(s) of delusion and confusion.
