Page "Kotaku" Paragraph 10

On March 1, 2007 Kotaku reported – as a follow-up to an interview with the Game Developers Conference executive director, Jamil Moledina, who said that Sony's Phil Harrison's keynote would make PlayStation 3 owners " very happy " – a rumor from an anonymous tipster that the PlayStation 3 would be releasing " PlayStation Home ," an achievement and virtual avatar add-on.

Concerning the rumor, Sony had told Kotaku that they " do not comment on rumors or speculation " and asked Kotaku not to publish the story.

The story was published anyway, and Sony's David Karraker sent an email declaring that the two parties ' professional relationship was suspended.

Kotaku published Mr. Karraker's email and Kotaku's response from its editor, Brian Crecente.

Later that day, Dave Karraker and Brian Crecente spoke on the phone and sorted the matter out, and Sony invited Kotaku to their GDC events and meetings.
