… I trust Sony like I trust the Bush administration.

That’s so incredibly fitting. Sony’s credibility problem is on par with Bush’s at this point.

And while I see Brad’s point (poor journalism is to blame for some of Sony’s press), Sony alone is responsible for their E3 presentations.

Or maybe he was asking about a different kind of redundancy. There is such a thing as live redundancy – checks are constantly being run, and duplicate reserve units are automatically substituted for any active units that have failed. Such systems are used in aerospace industries and the like. It’s not unreasonable to ask whether the Cell chip might have such facilities.

There’s never been any indication that this kind of live redundancy other than a misreading of Sony’s annoucements. I doubt the journalist asking the question had any knowledge of their being two kinds of redundancy, one which Sony has talked about, and another that has no practical application this side of escape velocity. It’s exponentially cheaper to replace a broken semiconductor than it is the engineer and produce millions of high performance healing CPUs. It’s an absurd suggestion, and if the reporter knew what he was talking about he wouldn’t have asked such a stupid question.

Like the reporter could even fathom such a thing.

I mean, obviously what I just said was an exaggeration. But I trust Sony like I trust the Bush administration.

When Sony lies nobody dies.

I think Brad dislikes the XBox. Just a guess.
