Alienware pressuring reviewers for good reviews?

Hoo boy... Michael Dell (as new owner of Alienware) can’t be happy about this. I used to think Alienware PCs were pretty cool, if overpriced. Now it seems that they’ve been engaging in some pretty nasty tactics of “review us well, we send you more, review us bad, no more samples for you.” Here’s the good part. The idiot made these threats to Hexus.net via email! Maybe the moron at Alienware thinks his job is somehow more secure, since Dell gobbled them up? Maybe he’s just a moron. I think it’s that latter. So much for superior alien intelligence. (Via Slashdot.) Update: Yeah, I know, so much for practicing loving-kindness. *sigh*
