I was on the Qore project at that point too, and that didn’t change my opinions. But you’re right… only time will tell. I’d like to think that anyone who knows about my work will know how I do things.

I think the dividing line here, is whether or not people will believe that someone CAN work for a pro Sony PS3 project, whilst remaining neutral to all other aspects of Sony and their products.

Time will tell I guess?

Veronica made a very good point in her first comment. The people at Revision3 would have surely stopped this happening, if they thought it would cause a significant problem. They just secured squillions of dollars in funding – suggesting they know what they are doing.

I think we will all know, one way or the other, in the next few months!

I appreciate both the fact that you took the time to find this post and that you were cool enough to comment (I said you were classy!)

Sony’s best known piece of hardware is their PS3 console. Your new show is 100% focused on games / downloads for Sony’s console. Whether the show promotes third party games or Sony only games, it is obviously going to help build up the user base for PS3, which helps Sony.

I think it’s right to assume (and I may be wrong), that some people will see your promotion of “anything related to PS3 content” as being pro Sony – no?

Sony are much more than a console maker, and my initial thought on hearing about your new project, is that this is where the potential for ‘issues’ would rest.

For example; if Patrick said the next Vaio was excellent, no one would think there was anything odd. He would be seen as calling it as he saw it.

Anyone who has followed your work knows you are, as I said in the post, 100% fair. But is it possible that some people might think his review was likely to be more balanced than an identical review from someone with even a slight Sony connection?

Thanks again for popping by Veronica!

Without knowing Veronica it’s not fair to assume she is seeking either money or fame. The only way to advance in any career, is to move – something common to everyone at the top of their game, not just Veronica.

Thanks for the comment!

I was at CNET for three years, and I’m still at Tekzilla. I left Mahalo because it wasn’t a good fit for me, because I wanted to focus on tech… which is what I’m doing. Should someone stay on a project that’s wrong for them?

Jim, I would say “it’s fair to assume” that I want to work on projects that I care about. Anything else is icing on the cake.

And they’re NOT “Sony promotional videos” as you say. We’re covering anything relating to PS3 content, not just first party Sony games. It’s really not that different from what Xbox is doing currently.

My saying that I’m recusing myself of speaking about Sony console stuff is hardly signaling any trouble! I think you’re jumping to some big conclusions there. Don’t you think Revision3 would tell me a loooong time ago if they had a problem with this?
