In a somewhat amusing turn of events, Rockstar proceeded to blame the current PS3 3.61  firmware for older 60Gb and 80Gb consoles overheating while playing their Sam Spade-em-up, L.A. Noire.  The fact that it was probably the most widely bought game in the US this week having nothing to do with the fact that a small percentage of consoles had issues, oh no!

Given Sony’s well-publicised current woes, this is akin to kicking a tramp while he’s on fire and pissing on him as you do so.

There soon followed a rather rapid bit of backtracking on their blog where they retracted their previous statement while also implying that they were cosy bedfellows with the Japanese electronics giant.

The lesson learned being don’t make rash statements about platform holders consoles as their lawyers are bound to pay attention. They’re usually much bigger than you and can afford a lengthy litigation process, unlike yourselves.

Incidentally, L.A. Noire is out today in the UK on 360 & PS3.  Ian
