RE: Art Dudley PSA Direct Stream Review

"The updated firmware was released literally days before Art had to turn in his review copy and the review was 90& complete at that time. There was no question of us postponing the review as the cover photography had already been done and we had no replacement available in time."

This is an explanation, not an excuse. The mismatch comes from the difference from the old world of plastic disks, pulped tree magazines and fixed hardware vs. the new world of downloads, screens and software. In fairness, there are tradeoffs: “If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?” You see a similar thing with music downloads, where the QC is much less than that on LPs or traditional stamped CDs. With downloads it is possible to let the early customers do the Q/C for you and some of the popular sites sometimes work this way. (Probably still a bad idea for high volume products, but it makes sense for low volume titles or boutique hardware.)
