Negative Xbox One Amazon reviews from Sony fans

Why do people feel the need to do this?

 

The guy named "Sony Prophet" has also commented on others: 'Could possibly be the worst launch title of all time. Microsoft needs to learn from Sony and release quality games.'

Yeah it was also sent in as a news tip, but I checked all 5 pages and none were verified customers. I'm not surprised this is happening after the genuine reports from last week, but Amazon should make it easier to filter reviews to verified only.

It happens both ways, one side can't be painted as saints and the other the fanboys. Amazon reviews are silly unless you pay attention to verified purchases, but even then apparently if you buy something, then cancel your order you can still do a review?

Seriously >.>

Yes, but there's a difference between expressing a valid opinion when you've actually purchased the thing and trolling.  A majority of the negative PS4 reviews were from verified buyers, and at the moment anyway not a single one in the X1 reviews are verified...  suspect at best.  It's not reasonable when it's purely posted to bash "the opposition" and unlikely based on any actual experience with the unit.

Seems like ps4 fanboys are butthurt cause ps4 (and its games) received lower review scores....

 

The worst part is that they're so obvious about.  If you click on the 1 star reviewers profiles, most of them rated the PS4 a 5 star just a little while ago lol.  It's sad to see people behave this way over a entertainment device.  I like my brands of choice, and I'll even defend them (to a point) as to why they make a compelling purchase for people- but I never insist they are the only choice, or actively go out of my way to slander and denigrate other brands.  These guys act like it's their religion or at least as if they're getting paid.  It's really sad that they do all that for free lol.

Why do Amazon allow reviews from people who don't buy their product from Amazon? It's annoying. It's almost as bad as allowing reviews for products before they're released, but I think they've stopped allowing that, or are at least clamping down on it.

Amazon reviews are screwed beyond recognition anyway.

 

I was looking to grab an emergency battery charger for my phone. Checked one out - loads of 5* reviews. Started reading through them, 90% said something like "Anker provided this unit to me free of charge to review honestly".

While I think fanboys are rather annoying, I am intrigued by the psychology behind it.

Interesting read and very true. :)

Pathetic. It was going on with the PS4 reviews too, although not to quite the same extent.

 

Why do Amazon allow reviews from people who don't buy their product from Amazon?

I've always wondered why they allow it too. Just opens it up for abuse like this.

I don't care about reviews...

 

All I do is buy a product and check it out... if something is wrong, I can take it back for exchange or refund. If they don't have return policy, then I wouldn't buy it.

 

Simple.

 

The reviews sometimes are full of trolls. They are looking for something to do... Like 'Oh, let's go to Amazon and post a bad review on it, heheheh.'

1.0 out of 5 stars Radioactive., November 22, 2013
This review is from: Xbox One Console - Day One Edition (Video Game)

Xbox One has made me sick, I think the radiation from the kinect camera has burned a hole through my brain as it scanned my vital statistics.

Buyer beware, I now have to go to hospital to get a diagnosis.

really?? wtf is wrong with people

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
