Wednesday, July 30, 2008.

You really have to wonder about the "reviews" on amazon.com when they are posted weeks and months before the DVDs they are referring to are actually released.

With Season 4 of Five-O, which came out on June 10th, there were reviews posted on February 27 and 28 and March 10.

Season 3 was released on January 22 of this year, yet there are four reviews from November, 2007, one from October 2007, and another one from January 2 (a totally stupid review which gives the DVDs 3 stars and says only "I've got a Blu Ray player so I'm not buying anything on DVD. DVD will go the way of VHS. Can we get this on Blu Ray?").

What is the point of these early reviews? No doubt the people writing them get to feel good because they got their name "in print" before anyone else.

In my opinion, people should not be allowed to post reviews until the date the DVDs are released, and this should be restricted to people who have actually purchased the DVDs on amazon.com (you can't post ANY reviews if you have never bought anything through amazon.com, for example).

What do you think?
