Native 4K recording? Check. A built-for-war body? You bet. Backordered despite a downright shocking ,700 price tag? Most certainly. As with RED’s prior products, the Scarlet-X seems to be wowing just about every shooter lucky enough to come into contact with one. Luck for you, the folks over at Cinema5D have spent an inordinate of amount of time with this beast in order to deliver the full skinny on whether it’s worth the price (and wait). We won’t bother spoiling any conclusions for you, but if you’ve been toying with the idea of blowing your (and your SO’s) bonus on one of these in a bid to start your own movie house, there’s a vid just after the break that deserves your attention.

The march of the Honeycomb tablets goes on, playing a tune that’s starting to get a bit muted thanks to the promise of fresher beats coming from Ice Cream Sandwich. Still, there are plenty of ways for manufacturers to add their own bit of swing to the same ‘ol song. Motorola, of course, paved the way for all these slates with the Xoom. It’s hard to believe that first Honeycomb tablet was released just 10 months ago, but now we have its successor, the Xyboard, here in its 8.2-inch guise.

At least, that’s what it’s being called domestically. Elsewhere it’s the Xoom 2 (we reviewed the 10.1-inch flavor already), but in America we get a patently unfortunate moniker for a tablet that offers an interesting design at an interesting size with the interesting bonus of LTE. But, all that mobile bandwidth is going to cost you: 0 for the 16GB model or 0 for 32GB if you sign on for a two-year data contract. Does the funky design, convenient size and high-rate connectivity make up for the added cost over something like the class-leading Transformer Prime? Let’s find out.

Welcome to my brief report on PvP Ownage. I’m going to be tackling the primary queries that potential buyers of this product ask. They are:

Is it worth purchasing? PvP Ownage features lots of verifiable testimonials from happy users on its website. Reading these testimonials is frequently a good way of evaluating if the product fits your needs. Obviously, that really should not be your sole research. The owner of a product can put anything at all on their website – you should backup their promises with an impartial review. – see the link at the conclusion of this report for one such PvP Ownage review, which gives the product a score of 3.99/5.

Can I get my money back if it turns out I don’t think it’s great after all The short answer: yes! Payments for this product are dealt with via Clickbank – and they provide a 60-day no-quibble guarantee for all products. So you can rest assured you can get a refund.

Could it be a scam? For products of this kind, there’s one simple guaranteed way to uncover this: the product’s refund rate. Products with a high refund rate can be a scam. This, obviously, makes a lot of sense – if it’s a scam, then a lot of people will be asking for a refund. Regarding PvP Ownage the approx refund rate is 11.43%, which is about average, suggesting that the product is of a reasonably high quality and probably not a scam.

Can I obtain a bonus for buying this product? (and just what exactly is a PvP Ownage bonus?) Some web sites may offer you a purchase bonus if you buy a product through their link (as a thank-you for purchasing through their site). In the example of PvP Ownage, there’s a bonus being offered – see link elsewhere in the article.

Take note that a bonus is also available for the comparable product The CityVille Club, and you may wish to look into an assessment for that at the same time.

PvP Ownage – what does it do? Okay, let’s hear directly from the horse’s mouth about this one and look at what they say about themselves on their website:

– guaranteed!
– Everything you need to kick ass with or without a team of fellow PvPers. 
– No Cheating – Cheating is bad … mmmkay?

What next? We’ve covered all the primary questions that future customers have before purchasing this product. Before you make that final decision however, I would certainly advise that you look at the comprehensive review. It will tell you some additional information, including complimentary products, any discounts and any bonuses offered. You can additionally find details of the bonus stated previously. Now, head over there now (see link elsewhere in this article) and you can see the product sheet for PvP Ownage.
