I don't tend to watch video reviews often unless there's something specific I want to see in action.

Written for me also. 

On a side note, I stopped at 3 gas stations today to pick up a magazine.  Why 3?  Because none of them had any magazines whatsoever.  Where do you buy them nowadays?  Grocery stores only?  I suppose book stores.  Not very convenient.

Winnipeg 7-11s seem to have a wide selection of magazines.  Safeway stores as well.
