The issue is not whether its fair game, but a matter of if reviews of things not on general release causes confusion. I don't see how. People find the products wherever they can, rhat doesn't change the validity of the review. I could understand it causing confusion if a title was only available to subscribers, but the Big Finish website isn't exactly hard to find. Agree. I don't see how advance reviews confuse anyone.

I don't believe there is much merit arguing that putting out reviews before something is available to the general public should be stopped, or is in anyway an issue. For years reviews of albums, movies, television, books and even theatre have been published before anyone has a chance to read/view/listen to a product. Granted in this day and age it can be difficult to avoid spoilers - but with a little effort one can avoid most. Don't go to the entertainment sites, skip the podcast, threaten friends with bodily harm if they try telling you about it - that will cut down on the chances of something being spoiled. As for BF holding products exclusively for a period before allowing 3rd party retailers access, I think that is a prudent policy and one which does likely help their bottom line, while also allowing direct buyers a little bonus. Those are pretty much my thoughts on the subject. And I don't have a problem with reviewers having advance copies. That's pretty much standard practice and I don't see any reason to change it.

The email from big finish basically says that reviews can come out on release of the item.
Surly it's up to the public to decide weather or not to listen/read them or not.
Or when do do this
