Weekend Confirmed Episode 58
by Garnett Lee, Apr 29, 2011 11:00am PDTThis week Christian Spicer joins Jeff and Garnett on the show and they waste no time getting into the games. Well, okay, there might be a little NBA and NHL playoffs talk but then it's right on to Rage, Portal 2, Dragon Age 2 (Jeff finished it with 65 hours on the clock), and more. Of course, the big news of user data getting stolen from the PlayStation Network gets plenty of discussion as does the confirmation from Nintendo that a new console will indeed debut at E3. When Finishing Moves wraps it all up, the time has flown by.

Comments
And while I agree there's reason to be angry, it's really bad form to just call everyone who isn't as angry as you an apologist.
Jeff wasn't excusing Sony for what happened... nobody's excusing them, we're just trying to be realistic about the situation. Sometimes things break, sometimes they go wrong, and sometimes people deliberately do things that hurt and violate other people. That's not to say that it's okay, but it does happen. That's not apologetics, it's Murphy's Goddamned Law!
Now, like I said, there are plenty of reasons to feel angry, betrayed, violated etc. I agree that no company should ever be given a free pass on account of "shit happens," but what exactly to you plan to solve by rallying these emotions and lashing out at other Sony customers (who have also been wronged, I might add) just because they're being slightly more stoic than you are?

I realize at times he sounded emotional but I think him calling his friends "Sony apologists" was a joke.
For someone that comments on the show as much as you I find it fairly surprising this has you riled up. I consider it par for the course.
