Talk about all the news that’s fit to copyedit. The New York Times has a hat-trick of errors in a recent technology piece discussing video game options. They manage to make it through the Wii spot on — but then the real fun comes.

First the Old Gray Lady says Gran Turismo 5 is “a hyper-realistic, high-speed journey, [and] is one of the best sellers for [the] Sony console.” One little problem, the game isn’t out yet. Next up they say the PlayStation 3 is $299, which would be awesome and perhaps the Times has some incredibly privileged info about Sony’s holiday strategy, but we’re pretty sure the system is going to be starting at $399 for a while. Oh, but they’re not done yet. Did you realize the PS3 and Xbox 360 are both powered by the Cell processor? This is being reported by the venerable New York-freakin’-Times, so it must be true, right?

[Thanks, Murph]
