Amazon Reviews For PS4 Are Being Sabotaged

things like that occurs all the time. Even with products not so famous like PS4... Fake reviews, paid reviews, bot reviews.....

I imagine Amazon will clean this up relatively soon. I know some people have problems with Amazon, but I have the utmost respect for that company They seem to always have their stuff together. And when they don;t, they just straight up fix the problems in a timely manner.

I don't really find the amazon reviews to be very accurate, because I have seen things where the person gave the product a 5 just because they got sponsored by it. That times they just put out random reviews that really suggests that they have not even bought the item. They really can't stop these thing people and trolls will find a way around these systems.

The only reliable reviews on Amazon are the confirmed buyers or the well written ones that touch on each point or different elements. The ones that just say "This is the drizzling shits" or "I liek the PS4! It's jawesome!" are the ones I tend to skip over.

Wow, some of the amazon reviews are hilarious! I love reading things that closed minded people write. It's very obvious that some of the people writing reviews are just being closed minded fools and don't own a PS4 anyway. It'd be hard for Amazon however to only let verified buyers review it though because not everyone made their purchase from Amazon and even people who didn't should be able review product they actually own if you ask me.

I agree that everyone who actually got a PS4 should be allowed to post a review. I don't know how they could keep it level and legit. Not even taking a picture with your PS4 would work

And yes, some of those reviews are hilarious.

Amazon has verified status meaning that you verify that you own the product that you're reviewing. It really would be for the best if Amazon only allowed verified owners to comment and review big name products like the PS4 and Xbox One. It's a system that they should really think about. A lot of the negative reviews are done by trolls but it won't hurt the consoles. Still it's something that Amazon should look into.

Does the verify status pop up automatically if it's confirmed you have purchased that product in your shop history? I always figured it did. Amazon should really keep reviews limited to confirmed buyers at least for the month following the launch. I'd prefer it was only for people who actually purchased through Amazon.

I'm guessing it does it automatically. I've never actually left product review on Amazon, just seller reviews. I would like to see something that allows everyone to review products, but break it down into actual reviews (the confirmed ones), total reviews, and non-verified ones.

I remeber reading this one review where this guy was shouting how the PS4 set his house on fire.

That's hilarious. So, the PS4 set your house on fire and your first instinct is to write a PS4 review?

Sounds reasonable to me. Grab your laptop, step out on the lawn, and do a review. No 911, don't call Sony, don't make sure everyone is okay, just go on Amazon.
