I did email the producers of the show to say to them how the show was now nothing more than an ego trip for the presenters. I also compared it to Top Gears flaws but the producer replied saying that he was glad to get the compliment. GOOD GRIEF! It was after one episode where after an hours show only 5 minutes was given over to reviews (Bentley reviewing headphones). So annoyed, but at least it shows in the ratings. They have lost upwards of 1/2 Million viewers from this time last year. Also, those new presenters.... what were they thinking? Otis and the blond dippy one, please phone in sick for a couple weeks. As for the show... please for the love of god just review some teach some people may actually buy. Thank god for sky plus, I can watch just the reviews and it only takes up 10 minutes of my evening. Also sort out the website. Its a joke, was looking to see what laptops were recommended and the reviews are over a year old. PATHETIC

I love the gadget show, but I must say that some of the featured items are way beyond the reach of many viewers. Also some competitions feature a very wide range of products in cost from £40 to £4000, so how can you affer a £40 gift against a several hundred pound gift and ask which they would prefer! How about a purchase challenge with a price limit again?? Also I own both the PS3 Move and Kinect, both are very different, but Kinect is far more versatile, as you can use it to control the Xbox 360 without any extra games. PS3 Move makes controlling the PS3 more difficult so is only useful for games, which means spending more to get any functionality. I would also say that the price, £45 for move bundle plus £32 for an extra move controller and maybe a navigation controller for £18 (required for/enhances some games). So without any games, the Move can cost £95 for two player with only the one Navigation controller. Kinect can track 2 players as well as recognise who is playing! Best price is £120 including a game, so lets say equivalent of £90 without the game, so both are similar prices. I love my tech but want to see thngs presented on a fairer basis, explaining in the case of the move that you had needed the 2 Move controllers and camera for 2 player modes! And BTW I do have a watercooled multi core, sli, tri screen display gaming rig as well! Loving the first person shooters on this kit....
