I thought this was going to be a rant but was pleasantly surprised.

I really liked the product page breakdown – sort of rudimentary, but pretty helpful. I'd be really interested in seeing more launches/product pages dissected like this.

Anyone know of a blog/site/resource that does this type of thing on the regular?

Hey @joelrunyon, agreed that it'd be great to see this done on a more detailed basis. I just threw this one together because I was impressed with how they copied the Kickstarter approach, which I hadn't seen done in exactly this way before for a launch (an obvious approach, but effective).

If you want to add more detailed feedback in the comments section on my post (or here) I'll be happy to dig into it more.

Has anyone actually pre-ordered that might have more feedback?

I liked it as well, it would be interesting to see the kickstarter 'style' get more common now that Kickstarter has banned it (the pre-order vs not-a-store issue). I see it as a way to gauge customer interest in a sort of viral way.

The dissection was nice as well.
