Exactly!

If a review site can negotiate a better price (which incidentally is a nice slap in the face for that sponsor's other affiliates) I guess no-one can stop the site offering it. But that should be outside of the review and not affect the site's score/rating.

Anything else makes the reviews look biased and that doesn't work in anyone's favor in the long run.
