All I want to know is how it performs and better still, how it performs compared to other products by different manufacturers. What's inside the box, no need to know la coz almost all also same. Example, camera... camera, manuals, cables, etc. Graphic card, ---> card, manual, driver, powerdvd cd, and maybe games.
Hmm.. I think we should have a poll on this. I personally think it's important to know what's in the box.
Not really anymore, since most products these days don't bundle anything useful, unless it's worth mentioning.
The thing is.. if we don't mention it, no one will know whether there's anything else in the box besides whatever they are supposed to be buying. In any case, the poll is up over here - http://forums.rojakpot.com/showthread.php?t=19110
As everyone is saying, without a review it would be hard to stay relevant.As mentioned before ,listing all the accessories & even release dates would be a bit different to other websites & may help it to succeed. .It would have to be updated consistently for it to become known & as you would know ,it would be a sh..load of work for someone!
erm.... that's not really what I meant. Whenever I want to know what is inside the package, I want to actually see them, pictures that is. So, I would go straight into the review to have a look at them. Plus, the items are listed again inside the review. That is why I'm saying that the listing in the product overview is not useful to me
Oh yeah, this is the PRODUCT OVERVIEW survey. The thing is some products we cannot obtain for review purposes, so we can only come up with a product overview at most. Like I said above, companies just send press releases which comes with a lot of marketing hype over the product. So, the Product Overview is supposed to essentially announce the product with a list of its specs and package contents with whatever other information we can collect on it. Of course, if we review it, we will have photos of everything in the package, covered in detail. But it's good to have a summary page (in the front) for quick reference.
I don't find the the 'summary page' useful to me at least but ah, the thing is, if the majority don't like it for whatever reasons then why continue posting the product overviews? Just my 2 cents
Yup. That's what we intend to find out. Too bad the number of people taking the poll isn't that many.
Oh, the product overview must be important if you want to specifically buy something. I checked the overview in the Net, before ever buying the product. The specs... the technical stuff. The better thing to check the specs and the overview is the MANUAL BOOK. I always download the product's MANUAL BOOK also before attempting to buy it.
The results are not conclusive AT THIS MOMENT due to the number of participants. Which is why I set the new poll to be sticky. Let the number of participants accumulate and then we will have statistically-significant results. Will possibly add these questions to the next Survey Contest too.
One more thing about the product overview without review. I feel that it should not be listed under 'Reviews' in the article database
Hmm.. A separate category? Yeah, I think perhaps it should. After all, if anything, it's just another form of a press release? But let's see if it's even worth taking the effort to create them.
Nothing is impossible. We will be able to derive statistically significant numbers. Don't worry. I will get it done.
