still not worth it.

Unless the $3,500 is being edited, it's still wrong.

Jeez you guys are picky.

I typed those post up in a hurry as I was leaving the house. Let me give them a read over and see if I can smooth things out. I was focused more on the content then the flow, so let me go back and make sure everything is smooth.

I cannot believe that in your correction, you include a grammatical error. Where is the verb in your "sentence" that I quoted? I will give you a hint: "available" is an adjective.

Anyone surprised that this douche has nothing better to do than point that out?

Actually, the original post is technically correct the XMB cross bar is a user interface and saying that it is the same as the one found on the PS3 would be accurate. There can be different features on the XMB cross bar but it is still the XMB cross bar. A similar example would be Windows Vista and Windows XP, they are both a Windows operating system, although different, but both are still garbage.

That, being said I can understand and appreciate your point of clarification and choice of "like" as compared to "same as". However, one way to clarify the statement would be thus: ... a XMB cross-bar menu system, the same interface found on the PS3.

There's also one in the Sony ES announcement.

Both players will be available this fall; the S200ES for $1,300 and S500 for $700.

should probably be

That was totally uncalled for. If I were a mod, you would be banned.

There should not be a "period" between photos and all. It makes them two fragmented sentences.
