"You can go get a dialed in LE for 7,500 bucks. I think dialed in LE, if I were any of you out there, that is the game I would buy right now. I think dialed in LE has hit rock bottom with pricing.

That is criminal with the amount of stuff that's in that game, with David Thiel music, I think arguably Jersey Jack's best usage of the 27 inch screen ever"
