And why are all these items to overhyped, for what you get?
It's called advertising. Ever noticed how companies/people that want to make money never say "if you really can't find anything else to fit your needs, maybe give us a shot" -- everyone claims they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Some will live up to it, many won't. Do you take TV commercials for laundry detergent at face value? If not, why would advertisements for computer media or programs be any different?
