Gametrailers staff explains GRID incident

Gametrailers staff wrote: "When we capture video from games, we capture them to tapes, the tapes are then labeled and given to the video editors to cut into videos, for instance, a ps3/360 comparison video.

Two things went wrong this time. A) the tape was mislabeled as 360 footage so the editor thought he was comparing different things, and B) our editorial check on the video didn't go through the usual rigors, and failed to notice the mistake. When people check hundreds of videos a day, sometimes things slip through.

Obviously this is a huge issue, and we took it down as soon as we found out about it.

Never attribute to malice what you can instead attribute to a mistake. This was a simple oversight, and then spun by Kotaku into some sort of evil empire stunt.

I hope that clears things up some."
