[quote:14584]"Alienware seem to have admitted threatening review sites with no future hardware unless positive reviews are written about their products. Hexus.net attempted to obtain a recent Alienware system and were rebuffed in an email claiming that their last review had scuppered the chances of them getting any hardware to review in the future. Follow-up emails confirmed this was part of Alienware's global marketing strategy. "[/quote:14584]

Pretty smart global marketing strategy...get more people to hate you. I would never buy an Alienware anyways. I'd rather save hundreds of dollars and my dignity by building my own rig. No offense of course to anyone who owns an Alienware.

I love my Alienware. Having built approx. 13 computers for myself and my family, I didn't want to go through all the shit that it takes to build your own again.

I couldn't give two shits about the "dignity" of building my own computer either, that's something fags say to make themselves feel better, because the computer they sent me is the best computer I've ever seen. 4 years now without a reformat or any swapping of parts, in fact, I've never had to open my case once and it still runs anything and everything I've thrown at.

Of course I don't agree with their recent advertising campaign, but I bought my Alienware before they were bought by whoever it was that bought them recently.
