GameTrailers EIC Sets it Stragiht on GRID Comparison

GameTrailers Editor in Chief, Shane Satterfield, stepped in today in an interview with JoyStiq to clear up the matter on the Race Driver: GRID we discovered back on the old site.
He explains that the mistake happened: "After we captured the footage from both versions, some of the footage of the PlayStation 3 version of the game was incorrectly placed in the bin for the Xbox 360 footage."
Satterfield also mentions he is upset with the critisism they've been receiving on the forums stating they are biased against the PLAYSTATION 3 as well. There is a full interview at the link.

trying to cover their ass now eh?
I’ve always considered GT bias anyways, especially seeing as how Viacom (who owns MTV, who in turn owns GT) is in bed with Microsoft. They also ALWAYS have 360 cover for multi-platform titles, the only case it didn’t was Devil May Cry 4. Far as I’m concerned, they should just drop the whole comparison deal.
I understand it was an accident but he has to understand that it looked like they were trying to pull the wool over gamers’ eyes and we are a very fickle group. One day we’re with you the next we’re crying bloody murder.
Anyway, good to know they nip it in the bud and quickly.
