So it looks like a $399 40GB PlayStation 3 is hitting North America on November 2. Are you getting one? Still too rich for my blood.
Maybe...depends how good Haze and Uncharted are.(negative)
Finally the price is right! Bring on the Blu-ray era!(the only slightly positve comment)
Can I retroactively return my $599 PS3? I feel kind of gypped. (negative, who actually feels like this)
Never! You couldn't pay me! Wii60 4 Life!(negative, and blatenly fanboish)

Whats up with the biased surveys. anything about halo and 360 has nothing but positive choices. Look at all these negative choices. I always here about ps3 fanboys being bad, but stuff like this really makes you root for the underdog. Its ok to have your oppinion, but why does liking the ps3 seem like a sinful oppinion.

These polls aren't meant to be taken serious. They are just for fun, and has been announced many of times that they are just for fun.

Ok, its nice its just for fun and all. That still doesnt answer the question of why this survey is so negative and halo and 360 ones are not.It should be gamespots place to stay away from all that negativity and fanboyism.

All of their polls have choices in them that relate to fanboyism and things of that nature.

Did you see the poll for Halo 3, on are you going to buy it or not. One of the choices was something like "I'm a total fanboy of Halo" and all the polls they have are pretty much the same. They don't play favorites and just do something on one certain console, they make fun of all the consoles and games.

actually complaining about the polls is reverse fanboyism... you're complaining that they aren't being a fanboy to the platform you're a fanboy of.

just ignore them... they aren't scientific and they can be easily messed around with by an individual with no life... so there isn't a factual basis or even a point to them besides entertainment.

Surveys on most sites are supposed to be fun.
