Q&A: What's a good consumer site that offers reviews AND the lowest prices on items?

Question:
I need to do some comparison shopping, but I am leery of some of the product review sites b/c I feel they may be biased by recieving $$ from companies.
I'm searching for a Sony portable DVD player, Fx820. Amazon has it the "cheapest" but the shipping is !

Do a google search for customer reviews. Type in product name + customer reviews. If they're out there you'll find them. On a basic level I find that Amazon frequently has customer reviews and for electronics I always check newegg .com for their customer reviews.

Here are some reviews I found for you.
http:// reviews.cnet .com/portable-dvd-players/sony-dvp-fx820-black/ 4505-6498_7-32954257 .html

http://www. i4u .com/ article-topic-5 .html

http:// reviews.pricegrabber .com/portable-dvd-players/m/65087995/

As to the cheapest price, again you'll have to search and it will be a different search. By the way, I ALWAYS take shipping into account when determining the cheapest price.

I did a little research.

$ 149 .50 here http:// store.wholesaleav .com/ sodv8podvdpl .html Does not have free shipping.

$ 151 .84 from Amazon and eligle for Amazon Prime shipping. That's a good deal if you have Amazon Prime http://www. amazon .com/gp/product/B00139R1TA

$ 179 .99 here http://www. circuitcity .com/ccd/ productDetail .do?oid=208230&om_keycode=4 but it has free shipping.

$ 158 .54 from walmart and they'll ship free to the store http://www. walmart .com/catalog/ product .do?product_id=10204435&sourceid=17059053460253699185

From the reviews I read this is a well liked product. Amazon is the best deal if you have Amazon prime shipping otherwise Walmart is the best deal and pick it up in the store rather than have it shipped to your home.

Good luck with your purchase.
