How do I request a review?

[Spinne]

Hey,
I'm a flight sim enthusiast and I'm considering a TrackIR unit. TrackIR is intended primarily for flight sims, but it is essentially a mouse emulator, so it may be possible to use it on the desktop, or in FPs games. There are two TrackIR units, the 'vanilla' TrackIR 3 for ~ $80 and the Pro version for ~ $120. The Pro version boasts of better performance.
The high cost v/s low intended usage of the unit (primarily flight sims) is making it hard for me to decide if I wanna invest in one. How can I request Anandtech to carry out a review of the TrackIR unit? Points I'd like to see covered -
1) Utility and Performance of a TrackIR3 unit in flight simulators (LO-MAC, Il-2: Forgotten Battles).
2) TrackIR 3 v/s TrackIR 3 Pro
3) Utility and Performance of a TrackIR 3 unit in game genres such as FPS (HL2, FarCry, Doom3) etc...
4) Utility and Performance of a TrackIR 3 unit in desktop applications (web-browsing, text editing, picture editing etc...)

Why don't you buy one and give us a review?

I'm a student and I don't have the time, qualifications or money to spend on the review process.

The AT forums don't allow self-bumps that close together. But I think they'll probably let it pass this once as you're a NooB... IAC, read the forum rules and FAQs. The shortest self-bump wait is on For Sale/Trade and that is/was 4 hours (I haven't checked in a while).

It's pretty much the same on any web site... Go to the AT side, click on "About" , Click on Editorial Staff, find out who the Hardware Editor is and contact him/her.

Who cares about him bumping his thread. I am also curious about how to request a review. There have been times when I thought Anand should review something, but it never happened.

 

[Zepper]

Who cares...? The forum Administration, or they wouldn't have a rule about it.

Don't worry about it. The 4 hour rule is for the trading forum so everyone can have a chance to get their thread up top without getting pushed off the front page in 30 seconds. It's not a big deal here right now because there isn't alot going on in this section atm.

I agree with Pr0d1gy. I've been here for 4.5 years or so and in my experience the 4 hour bump rule has always pertained to FS/FT for the reason he stated.

Ok, and to the topic at hand, send an email to the various editors and content providers HERE.
