Rockstar/Sony story is pretty weird, especially if there are problems on the 360 as well. Why aren’t R* and MS doing a joint press release?

Bizarro.

I get the idea Sony might’ve “torn Rockstar a new one” over that initial statement. This is the gaming equivalent of being dragged to the headmaster to “explain what you’ve done”.

Yeah. I reckon they only reason they said anything was because of that initial Rockstar post.

It’s the same when any new firmware version or cpu challenging game comes out. A few old consoles die and everyone blames the software (see also most xbox 360 firmware updates, someone always tries to blame it for their console going pop)
