Include MSRP in the Specification table for every reviewed product

Chomiq · 2024-07-19T12:36:19+0100

Just a simple request - can we start putting MSRP into the spec sheets listed on first pages of every review? Currently it is pretty inconsistent, with some reviewers including the MSRP in the specification table on the first page of the review and others saving the MSRP for the "Value & Conclusion" section at the last page of review.

I don't care much , because actual prices are all different for every country.

tbh in some cases MSRP is mostly irrelevant. Video cards as an example. Then later reviews show prices for comparison and the real-world prices are nothing like what you will likely pay. I don't usually pay much attention to MSRP in reviews. If it's a product that I'm wanting then I look online and see if the prices are even worth it.

This isn't about the concept of MSRP. MSRP is already listed for GPUs on the first page of every review. Same for CPUs.

I'm talking about unifying the review format so that MSRP is listed on the first page for every reviewed item. Currently it all varies depending on who's doing the review. Some reviewers put MSRP in specification table, some don't. Sure you have "Value" section at the end of review but I don't wanna skip to the last page just to see if I can afford the item being reviewed.

Headphones are prime example here - their prices can vary greatly depending on the brand/model and currently you'll only find out how much they cost when you go to "Value & conclusion" page.

Sure, why not, I always all for including more at a glance information. Might want to ping W1zz for this.

I don't mind, especially if it's a product which I don't actually NEED but could be nice to get. If a product is too pricey, I'll pass if I don't need it.

With the way things cost this could be a way to get rid of the fluff.

Seems like a good idea, I really don't like having to skip to the "value" section either just to see if the price fits into my "good, bad, or ugly" selection process....then skip back to the actual review if it is something I would consider buying...

I feel like this should also be a MANDATORY requirement for all PR's for new/updated products, for the same reason, and that TPU should simply refuse to post them if they don't include an msrp...but I know that would reduce the amount of news items and ad revenues, so it will probably never happen...

Well, I had no idea that MSRP was this important to people here and since this poll is meant for W1zzard to see then I will change my vote.

Woting and idea ls pointless. In Wietnam prlces wary and usually are much cheaper than in vest or east depends where you read it. I buy a lot and sell ewen more so it does not matter anyway. I do have a problem with rewievs....ewery produkt get recommendation and that is ewen more pontless.

What you're asking for, makes sense IMO.

IMO, what MSRP actually does is give the reader AN IDEA of the value (in price) of the product RELATIVE to the other products listed.

I'm referring to MSRP "lists" like this one, hence the word "relative":

Include MSRP in the Specification table for every reviewed product

Do you want the MSRP included in the specification table on first page of every review?

Yes - I want to easily filter items that are outside of my price range

No - I like surprises!

I don't care
