Then it is Sony's fault. They should have given the reviewers more time before the NDA expires and they should have turned on the online so reviewers could have a go at it sooner before the NDA expired. They had no problems in giving people access to many of their other games for a week before.

They should have to wait just like everyone else. Just because they do reviews for a living, it doesn't make them special or privelged.

Reviewers have a time pressure. Give them less time, get a lower quality review. If Sony wanted higher quality reviews they would have given these sites more time to make them, if you feel the quality isn't up to standard.

They can always review after it is out.

Yeah they can, however thats unrealistic. Reviews out after the first few days aren't going to be read as much. So therefore all people get to see are the lower quality rushed reviews. This is Sony's game. They make the rules for the playing field and the reviewers just play on it. If the game isn't a good game to watch then most of it is on Sony.
