No, I don't work for Red Octane. I'm just an engadget reader who's angry that the website I go to for news is fabricating news. Reporting that people are having problems is one thing. Saying that Red Octane admits they're defective, when Red Octane has said nothing like that officialy is another.
All we've seen are emails from Red Octane to users, no offical statement saying "Oh yeah, the models 9xxxx and 9xxxx are definately bad, go return them."
And as for this "Calibration issue." It's the same thing that happined on Nintendo 64 when analog controlers were introduced. If you held the joystick to the side when you turned it on, Mario would run in circles forever.
