Another Sony PR disaster in the making?

I honestly didn't think this was a big deal until Penny Arcade started making fun of it. Their audience is quite large, and their comments rather scathing. It's a bit like the 360 Red Ring issues: at first it was just a few nerds on a forum complaining, but it went mainstream with a few magazines, and then it was bigger. I'm sure there are Nintendo examples as well, I just can't think of one at the moment. At least not one from the current generation.

So you are comparing this minor thing with a Sony affiliated podcast making a mistake to the Red Ring issue of MS???? Right...

Not even in the same ballpark.

 You didn't understand my analogy. Both the 360 failure rates and this blog were non-factors to start with: both were simlpy things that a few hardcore fans talked/complained about on message boards deep within the bowels of the internet. Not a big deal. Then, both phenomena found a more widespread audience. I absolutely agree that the 360 failure rates are a bigger deal. 

If I said that a Bike was like a Car in that they both can transport you to a specific location, would you state: "No you're wrong. A bike only has two wheels, while a Car has 4. Also, cars can go much faster. Not even in the same ballpark." What you've done is twist an analogy in a way that wasn't intended.
