As they are both approved and apparently submitted 3 hours ago each, I think it's best to let them coexist, Harry. I will see if the Admins get to the bottom of the bug these duplicates illustrate (submissions with the same link), a bug I know TnS has mentioned before and one I have experienced myself.

Happens every time.I know it's not the thread for this,but the only way to find out you are posting the same exact story,with the same url is to check in the possible duplicate section.
And the rating is not fixed yet.
Anyways,I am pretty sure mine got approved first,but i know about the timing...thing.
It's not going to kill me in the meanwhile anyway.

Good,that's all for today.

Yes, Mr Swede is correct. However, I believe the other contributor fell victim to the bug that many contributor's have - the site not notifying them it was dupe while it was submitted at about the same time. Therefore, as both stories were approved, I think it's best to live and let live. If, however, the story submitted earlier had failed, we would have a problem.

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-145437.aspx? As PS360WII pointed out in a comment, the title is a little wrong. Haze didn't score higher then The Orange Box. No biggie but it's a little misleading.

This story (it is not even a story or news related in any way) has no business being on the main page

Hate to disappoint, but it's an editorial/article, from Saracastic Gamer at that, and acceptable.

It is now, when I made my report it was listed as 'news'.
 
Just to prove I'm not going mad, other people in the comments section have made the same request.

Your Sony fanboy crew didn't seem to have a problem with this "blog post" from the same site: http://www.n4g.com/NewsPending-147719.aspx
As long as a website speaks favorable of your beloved console, then its ok, but as soon as it has some criticism, then it's a "blog post" or "flame bait article".  Ridiculous double standard.

I appreciate the point you're making Columbo but let's keep the forum conversation a bit more amiable/respectful.

Unfortunately (IMO), from the Guidelines: "Also internet forums and message boards do not normally qualify as a reliable source. However linking to screenshots and videos posted on forums is ok."

Has a different title and different subject then what the original source has.  I already reported it but it has 6 approvals already so thought I might point it out here too.  Thanks

Can a mod please edit.
Thanks.
