Well, there is this 50-pages-thread on GAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=711160&page=50
And recently, there was another one but I can't find it, sadly, where OP asked if it's still there and some responded that it's still an issue.
Most answered: "If there is a problem, get it replaced". Case closed as Sony will most likely never say anything official to this case.
