think it would have been better to release the Product 3 months later with the bugs all fixed than to release the Product earlier with a statement that the Firefly renderer is buggy. As I understand it, when the decision to make the CDs/final release version was made they were not aware of the bug in the rendering. The bug was identified after some investment was made. Stopping it would have cost more than they were willing to pay, so they let the release go forward, announced that the bug had been found and began work on the SR. The bad PR from complaints about a bug they know about and are fixing, is easier to deal with than the backlash they would get for delaying release (especially in light of the delays that P5 is said to have had) IMHO. By the number of complaints i have seen, the bug does not appear to be terminal for all users. I wont know how it effects me till friday. :)
