TestFreaks - Price Comparrison For Geeks

Founded by the same three geniuses who invented the ever-so-handy PriceRunner back in ‘99, TestFreaks is still very much in it’s early stages. As the title suggests, TestFreaks (which shall from now on be reffered to as ‘TF’) is the product review/price comparisson aggregation engine for geeks. Tech buffs. Audiophiles. Gamers. Gadgeteers. Camera nerds. Textaholics. People with a passion for electronics… Bringing together many of my favorite things in life (Digital Cameras, MP3 Players, Mobile Phones, Video Games and really expensive Home Cinema Systems), TF reviews everything and anything electrical.
Or rather TestFreaks doesn’t review all that much itself as far as I’m aware, but it pulls data from reviews on other sites and cleverly generates a “Freak Score” based on the information collected. They also clearly display what the “user opinion” is on the product and then compare it to the “expert view”, calculating Freak Grades to help you in your buying decisions. Performance, Features, Value For Money and Ease Of Use rankings are also shown.
The site also rather ingeniously pulls different product shots for each item on the site so you can view the geekery in all it’s full color glory. Manufacturers description is shown on the individual item pages along with prices, related products and all the above stats mentioned. That’s not to mention all the “coming soon” additions promised by Kristofer, Magnus and Martin. No dates on when we can expect these new features, but I for one am eagerly anticipating them…

Sprinkle with the already-in-place ajaxy live search and you’ve got one hip-hop Web 2.0 review engine, I’m telling ya’! Design is also pretty darn incredible. Lovin’ the color scheming - nice break from the industry’s traditional black on white. TestFreaks - You’ve got my vote for President!

“…and really expensive Home Cinema Systems”
Although mine probably isn’t worth that much it certainly a very good system - couldn’t do without it. Its a Philips.
I’m quite interested in this TestFreaks thing - I hate googling stuff to find reviews.
