Based on the provided information from both sites, I find it quite interesting to see the variances between the two sites. I think it's truly too bad that whom ever moderates IPDB reviews allows reviews that simply state "not my cup of tea" or "It's rubbish and a waste if money". After all it's the review system that changes the top 10 right? Because they were too lazy to use the system correctly they lumped scored a machine ... which what's the point you've already taken the time to create an account, login and start a review ... geez man. I also feel IPDB drives the prices - and it appears to me that people actually post negatives in efforts to drive the price down?! Anyone else see that?
