Can confirm that English pronunciation of these words is about as hilariously atrocious as Japanese pronunciation of English words ("dayjah voo" comes to mind )

I'm necrobumping because there's no people picking up the story beyond some shitty blogs, but Sony Japan had an event yesterday where they took questions.
