Tell me about it! :( I'm sad because I can't get it in the States unless it's expensive, and my marmite just ran out... I thought I would get some at Heathrow during my layover to America, but it seems I'm going through Amsterdam. :cry:


Don't be sad, I'm sure you can get yourself something nice in Amsterdam, too. ;)


BUT IT'S NOT MARMITE. ALLCAPS RAGE.

And there's no marijuana in the airports. :( They just have porcelain clogs, fake tulips, and cheese there.

It's not a misprint. The PS3 sells for $299. They're selling it for $229, and including a firmware upgrade.

It's stupid because firmware updates are distributed by Sony free of charge.

This is why I have no respect for Best Buy.

I don't make stupid buys. 8) This is coming from the child of a save-a-holic

That's just plain shameful. :(

They con older people into that sort of thing all the time. Computers now are very cheap - and this old man I was speaking to paid over £1000 for a desktop, and he didn't even need to use it for more than e-mailing and browsing the internet (no gaming). I decided not to tell him it was a poor buy.


Poor guy.

And besides, the old firmware (3.55 and earlier) is worth more because it can be modified. So stupid.
