[QUOTE="trakem"][QUOTE="heretrix"]

I'd agree except for the fact that this thread is ridiculously hypocritical.

AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE when the 360 launched, Sony and Sony fanboys didn't hype the PS3 to the sun they would'nt have to face people throwing crap back in their faces. That's what happens when you talk a lot of smack and don't produce.

It's simply something you have to live with. Next time maybe people should just shut the hell up and let the product speak for itself.

Sure, Sony fanboys talked a lot of trash. Of course, Microsoft fanboys talked every bit as much trash. As for being hypocritical, how? I didn't say, "Sony is 100% honest and doesn't over hype anything and Microsoft is this rediculous lying hyping machine." I'm saying they both lie and over hype. I don't see how that's being hypocritical.

It's hypocritical because you take a side in all this when all parties are equally guity of this...This thread actually shouldn't exist because all it does is give a platform for Sony fanboys to whine about how unfairly they were bashed, when they bash just as much as anyone else.

In other words: Don't dish it if you can't take it.

Actually Heretrix, what you should take away from this thread is A) don't believe the hype machine and B) don't overgeneralize by lumping people together into a big group, and then attributing the words or actions of a few (or one) to all of that group. That's actually a logical fallacy, and you should be aware that you perpetrate it all the time.

Shouldn't you be using your supposed education for something better than this?

Can I get a mod in here?

Typical cow response- report a thread that is 100% true to the mods, because you don't like what was written. Afraid of the truth?

Actually, I was messing with you. Like you're messing with people you don't know. I didn't report the thread or anything - why should I care what your opinion is in System Wars? You come on here every day making threads full of assumptions about some supposed "herd" of people that all think the same thing like some gigantic hive-mind. You're the definition of "don't assume, it makes an *ss of you and me," and I only posted to call you out on it.

Thanks for using pejorative to ostracize a group of people who don't think like you, though. Everyone really appreciates that.

Either A) you're kidding and your humor sucks, or B) you're saying your own opinion doesn't matter to you.

Either way, yeah, your opinion doesn't matter to me either.

The timing is about right, but I'll believe it when I see it. Too many supposed updates have fizzled to let me get too hyped about this.

I think the high price actually may help Sony in the end. It has obviously crippled what could have been a sales explosion early in the console's lifetime, but I think the fact that it's expensive gives it a certain product image in the mind of the consumer, if perhaps only the "non-hardcore" consumer. "It's expensive? It must be great! I'll get one when I can afford it."

Whereas the 360, in the mainstream view, comes across as cheap electronics with the reported hardware problems, etc. The way it looks kind of feeds into this image, I think.

In my opinion, obviously.

[QUOTE="Dante2710"]ewww do not want!!!! :lol: as soon as i heard teh guy rapping,i closed the windowAmyMizuno
I am probably the least likely demographic he is trying to appeal to (I'm an Asian female), and I was about to close the window at that point as well. Being an open-minded liberal, I continued to listen and he actually made some very good, although somewhat mangled points.

My God, Amy, I've been holding myself back from this, but WILL YOU MARRY ME PLZ. PIX n profile! Kthxbaeh!

All the damage-controllers are resorting to "well cows said this" and "cows did this" whereas, believe it or not, most of us don't know each other. So your generalization doesn't work. So you fail.

I'd buy it - this is one less reason to buy a 360 if true, and another reason to hold off until MS charges what the hardware is actually worth... say $200.

Definitely funny to see fanboys of all colors constantly trying to change the rules in order to back up their position - ie. sales only matter until they don't favor us, reviews only matter from certain websites, it's completely exclusive if it's "console exclusive," it's no longer "console exclusive" so it was never exclusive. THIS is why I still visit these stupid forums, I think.

It is better to let everyone think you a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[QUOTE="f50p90"][QUOTE="xsubtownerx"][QUOTE="asylumni"]

[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"]So when is the PS3 getting a Anti-Virus?xsubtownerx

There's no need for one; it's not running Windows.

Is that arrogance or ignorance? I think it's a little of both.

:lol: wut

Viruses attack the OS. Viruses are targetted at windows. Ignorance by you?

Oh boy.. I hope Sony doesn't have that attitude when it comes to this. :?

You and GhostMLD are the most supercilious posters on the entire site. The PS3 has antivirus software that can be run in conjunction with the web browser. Next complaint? I'm positive it'll be worth reading/responding to.
