Video reviews

Hi all.

I have this question, despite being in the rules that must be created a video unboxing.

I'm finishing my second review, and having already done one without a video, is it really necessary to record one?

I'm not discussing my ability to create one, but I really don't like to hear my voice (I'm sure many people has the same opinion) on it. And since my native language is not English, it could sound funny. RoflRoflRofl

I have the video ready, just need to finish the editing. 

I'm more comfortable writing and posting photos than recording a video.

I have several exercises in video that I will post , but my question remains: is it really necessary a video review?

    I have noticed a lot of videos now use a computer voice (text-to-speech). I don't mind listening to this type of video. It might be an option if there is a video requirement. I've also seen videos where…

    Believe it or not, and it's not something I say lightly, or say often, but this is particularly a generational age thing in regards to videos. There is an increasingly huge amount of people now that…

    Guys, thank you so for the replies. First, It's nothing with my voice. I'm just with a freaking cold and it sounds funny when recorded. And I have everything recorded already... I'm super comfortable speaking…

    This one?

    The Roadtest page lists an unboxing video as optional, not a requirement.

    To me, "unboxing" is not the same as "out of box experience."

    Personally, I think the most useless part of any review (Roadtest or otherwise) is wasting time showing the packaging. Unless there's something special (or dreadful), who cares?

    However, "out of box experience" is far more important. What happens once you plug it in? How hard are the drivers to install? Are there any weird pieces you have to attached? etc.
