Ridin’ Dirty : Alienware?!

Well, it may be coincidence, but after my outing of Rosewill/NewEgg’s questionable media product review practices, HEXUS jumps onboard too. They takes a chunk out of Alienware for their despicable behaviour when it comes to media loaners and product reviews. Apparently, if they send it, they BETTER get a good review or you won’t get anymore product.
Alienware used to be the shizzle. Now it looks like they are the fizzle. I really have to wonder how many of their system reviews were rigged over the years. That’s really lame!
EDIT:Apparently, the HEXUS story isn’t exactly accurate. To clarify, it looks like the reason for not sending that system out was because it was only a video card upgrade to the machine that they originally tore to shreds. Now, being that it is the same SKU and all, I wouldn’t send it out again either. I would send a better machine addressing the criticisms, but I wouldn’t send the same machine again, so I think Alienware is justified in not sendin it. Looks like HEXUS took that as a “We’re not sending you any more product because of a bad review”.
