When PSU GM Edward announced earlier this week that the non-item STD bonuses would be coming this Friday, a number of players (including myself) were skeptical.
That's because the original update announcement on Sega of Japan's Xbox 360 PSU site said that we wouldn't be getting those rewards. As I've probably mentioned before on this blog, when it comes to update announcements, the Sega of Japan site is almost never wrong.
So imagine my lack of surprise when Edward had to post this retraction on the official forums last night. For some reason, that post seemed to annoy a lot of players (all you have to do to see that is read the rest of the thread). I don't understand why, though. Sega of America and Sega of Japan reps were saying two completely different things, and we should all know by now that when this happens, the Sega of Japan information is usually right. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is.
I don't blame Sega of America or the GMs for this, since this is clearly the work of their idiot Japanese overlords. However, I do think it would be nice if the two sides could agree on the information they provide to players. To release two contradictory statements as they did this week is unprofessional, and only serves to confuse and annoy the hell out of players.
