    Don’t most reviewers get their sets for free?

      That depends on the company that is selling the product, and the reputation of the reviewer.

      IGN always give 9/10 for every game they review so they are high on the priority list to get review copies. But they won’t get any if the Developer /Producer isn’t interested in giving any out.

      I don’t think Apple is giving away 3500 devices for free to a long list of people. Most reviews I see are reviewing based on an extended store demo.

      not the freelance ones, or not always anyway. i think you’re right about the ones that wrote for tech blogs.
