Can't tell the number of times I've had to slog through reviews about the VHS release (yikes) or earlier DVD releases that had problems.

If this fixes that sort of thing, more power to 'em.
When I'm looking at the reviews, I mainly trying to find out about a specific media release (DVD/BluRay), and want info on the quality of the BluRay for instance. What I get are pages of the reviews based on the VHS tapes.
