I saw it, it's not a good review at all. It is very crummy, he also talks about the features like Plextor told him to say that.

Rodney does very superficial reviews. OK for non-enthusiasts.

In most of his reviews all he talks about is installation. He rarely talks about performance, and in this one, he didn't. He basically only talks about specs which can be very misleading with some products.

It won't be the 200th.

Other than some of the reviews from the Euro websites (CD Freaks, etc), I've been pretty disappointed. Places seem to be more concerned with being first, rather than doing a good review. Most of them have been nothing more "It's a Plextor and it burns DVD's at 8x! It gets a perfect 10!" They don't look any anything else.
