My friend and about 20 other people are starting a new site called...
www.brightsideofnews.com
Currently we only have a teaser trailer up with limited bandwidth. The full trailer will be up in a few days and we will have alot of interesting articles that i will share with you guys as well as new articles and contests. :biggrin: We are working feverishly to provide for a big launch. :emot-keke:
Technical Info, that video was shot by a True 35mm RED 4k camera at 4096x2048 resolution :biggrin:
To get a tiny snippet of the things that we will publish you can check out the unfinished page at...
http://brightsideofnews.com/
Those are just some old articles that are worthy of being brought over to the new site. :biggrin:

Yup. :biggrin:
The V10 was announced too soon in order for me to write the article in order to go with our site.

Of course i will be getting free stuff. But theres also a good chance we may need to purchase some things for testing and such but overall it should be pretty sweet. :biggrin:
Some free hardware will probably be kept by the company in order to assist for testing and such but if its the kind of hardware that wont really be used for testing then it may be given away, i dont know our arrangement yet considering the fact that the site hasnt even officially launched. :emot-keke:
The more successful the site is, the more money i can get paid. :biggrin:

You betcha! :biggrin:
Great for discussion as well as contests. :emot-keke:
We are going to combine forums with the rest of our site to give users the best possible ability to discuss their views and opinions on a given subject or story. :biggrin:

Actually, from the sites ive worked for in the past its about 50/50. To be honest, some of the stuff you really dont have a use for to begin with. :wink:

Well i know GURU3D has to send about 90% of their samples back. That includes PSU's and cases. Not just GPU's and such. Maximum PC also has to send the majority of the stuff they test back.

Lots of the reason for that is because some companies have specific review samples that they send out to companies for testing, but in many cases those boards can be kept longer than the company originally intended. :emot-keke:
But some things they really dont want back or need back. :biggrin:

Well Maximum PC had to pay for a $500 case they reviewed. It was damaged while it was in their possession and they were forced to pay for it.

Yes, sometimes in order to do a review of a product sites have to buy those products. But paying for bad shipping or something like that is just silly.
