nothing, just people like to complain, and call other people wrong for having different opinions and shizz

It's live: http://chipmusic.org/forums/forum/34/product-reviews/

Im for it. Hands on reviews can be very helpful or simply interesting.

Originating thread/review will be the first user who reviews the particular product.

:DDD

This could be a good idea. Suggestion of the rules:

+keep it on-topic and keep discussion at a minimum. Ready to do this almost on the spot,

All the evidence you need against it: engadget comment forums.

With a good moderation it could be cool though. Otherwise you can always post what you think in a products respective forum post/

+1 on this idea!

What's the problem with two people having differing views on one product?

Of course there would be some BS, but it would be nice to get nice, in depth write-ups from people who's opinions on hardware we've come to trust.  I would love to see you rave about the MS-20 mini for a few paragraphs.  Can you imagine if even a small portion of the posts were like Lazerbeat's awesome dx11 write-up?

behringer is shit. not sure why. some angry person on a forum said so.
beats by dre are funny. haha I like to laugh at fashion.
i really love my yamaha PSS-470.
when i play a triangle with the resonance right up on my ms20 mini there is some hiss noise so im going to go to a forum and moan about maybe returning my really lovely synth to korg.

i think there is already enough stupid noise guff on the internet about products. i hope that was helpful.

I never said it was man, I'm just saying that there's a possibility that in a thread where a bunch of people are like "4/5 star product, really good" then someone comes along and goes "1/5, it was jank, don't buy" there could end up being a bit of a kerfuffle about who's review should be trusted or whatever.

I do think a review section was be a good idea, I'd certainly contribute.

I'm so for this.

It's not for argument over what's better than what.

It's a product review "thread" and not a comparative thread. If the user that reviews an item wants to compare it to another item in their review, they are free to do that. This is not a flame war, it's a review.

It's the personal experience a user had with item A or item B. It is opinion based. Some people have bad experiences with item A and some people have good experiences with item A.

This is a great idea! One thread per thing, and a string of reviews for each thing. Sounds way useful!
