So the Sony PR flak that writes tweets for “Kevin Butler” messed up and broadcast the key to PS3′s heart to the entire world. No worries! Hire this dude and make his commercial a national spot. All will be well.

Parallels
It’s weird. You’d think after the drubbing Nintendo has given the industry over the past five years people would learn. You think they’d see the obvious parallels and refuse to allow history to repeat. And yet…
