It is the same model, just semantics. Either way they are increasing the price of the product by some amount and decreasing it when you leave a review.

It's only the same model if you ignore the large psychological difference.

I remember this being used early on in WoW; in order to keep people from playing too long XP earned decreased over time.

After complains it was changed to a boost for time spent logged out which was much more popular.
