What's the difference between comments and reviews?

What's the difference between comments (core feature - included for free) and reviews?

And why are the review modules so expensive?

I think they are same, just different names.
You should shop around to find a good one with cost effective.
Some people just sell it in high price even it is not good.
some people sell it in lower price even it is good.

Actually, I am also working on a review module "Agile Product Reviews", it will be comes with more features.
It will be released in 2-3 days may earlier.

if you would like to be one my beta tester, please let me know and you can have one free copy. If you are interested, please PM.

So what exactly does the free/core version of product comments do? i.e. what are the characteristics of this feature.

@shokinro: Dropped you a PM

thanks for your PM, I have also replied.

The earlier version of the latest version of the core PrestaShop product comments is inconvenience and not stable, but the latest version seems good enough, but still lack of some other features and flexibility.

My module is almost ready, I think you can get it soon. Actually I have tested most of cases.

Here are some of the features that standard Product Comments module does not have.
* Configrable to show reviewers name or not
* There are 3 predefined Criteriions: Quality, Performance, Value
* Apply criterion to different level: Whole Catalog, Category, Product
criterion and product mapping in one step
* Lanugae sensitive - display reviews in user's lanuage only by default,one click to include other languages.
* Pagination of reviews list in product detailed page
* Most validation is performed before post, so that user does not have to back and forth.
* Duplication post is checked to avoid misuse or mistakes
* Product average rating will be automatically displayed on following pages
- home featured product list
- category product list
- search result product list
- manufacturer product list

Lanugae sensitive - display reviews in user's lanuage only by default,one click to include other languages.

is super cool. I asked for it here: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/114579/

[shokinro]

so it means there is at least one feature that is attractive to you? thanks

Pagination of reviews list in product detailed page

But if I wanted to, I could "explode" the tab, and instead, display the reviews on the same (long) page, right? (I suppose that's a theme issue more than a reviews module issue...but not sure...)

Most validation is performed before post, so that user does not have to back and forth.

But admin can choose to configure so that reviews need approval before being posted, correct?

Product average rating will be automatically displayed on following pages
- home featured product list
- category product list
- search result product list
- manufacturer product list

In addition to the product page itself, right?
