PlayStation 3 costs $800, sez Merrill Lynch mob {Engadget}
Feb 18th 2006 9:31AM Q DuB,
Look at the URL more carefully, it is definitely a PROUD PRODUCTION of ML. Unless somebody hacked their site and put a fake research report in, but I doubt that anybody would do such a stupid thing just to embarass them.

Feb 18th 2006 9:18AM It is pretty embarassing that these "top-notch" analysts from a "super bulge bracket" investment bank like ML, and some are even VPs earning in the ballpark of half a million USD per annum, cannot do simple addition properly and have 230 + 70 + 350 + 50 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 80 = 900 and not 800.
These prodigies and gurus are supposed to be highly educated people with master and even doctor degrees, holding professional qualifications like CPAs and CFAs, yet don't even bother with a simple check on the accuracy on the tabulated data before publishing a research report. I mean, come on, where's the due diligence? You have a team of 7 analysts and cannot spot such an obvious error on a 7 page report? Even a 7 year old kid would suffice doing so!
That's really some first-class professionalism in a first-class investment bank link ML. No wonder GS and MS both outperform ML in the super bulge bracket.
