So he has time to personally talk to a ps3 users concerned about the time exclusive dlc that isn't even in development but not to say a single word about the whole PC delay? Hypocrite.
Oh for God's sake...

I honestly thought the console wars ended with the last console generation. The last generation was great, the companies shared IP's, there wasn't "as much" console fandom. It was grand, but now this generation has come along and the console wars have flared up again, the companies are at each others throats, console fanboys are as rabid as ever. What the hell?
I blame online play, it'll be the downfall of us all.

The most recent desperate thing I've read was a guy who said on a video for AC2 that the game was optimised for the PS3 version first and foremost because Patrice Desilets referred to the 'circle button' when talking about a move you can do.

"A very angry PS3 user," Robert? Isn't that all of them? (I'll be here all week, folks [http://instantrimshot.com/]!)
While the joke wasn't all that funny, the link was great. I'm stealing that.
So the next time you get ready to write a ten-page diatribe on why the Xbox 360 is the best gift from the videogame gods ever and why the PS3 and Wii are for losers who hate videogames, just stop. Stop, take a breath, and think: You are making the folks at Infinity Ward cry, and if they're too busy crying then they can't make new Modern Warfare 2 maps. So you've just delayed the game's DLC by at least a few weeks.

I hope you feel good about yourself now, you jerk.
Best reason to not flame another console that I've ever heard. Well, best if you don't include "You could be playing a game on that superior console right now, why aren't you?"

That defiantly has a great deal to do with it, that's for sure. *sigh* I miss the last console generation... esp. since most of the games coming out this generation are about as appealing as a trash heap. Yeah, you heard me.

They should understand. They have to have enough scratch kicking around to purchase all the consoles and find out how utterly shit the non-my favourite consoles are.

What? I've NEVER contacted IW about anything except the fine quality of their non-WWII themed products. For shame, implicating me like that.

I blame Peter Moore. He turned the Dreamcast release into an anti-PS referendum, and then turned every XBOX release into the same thing. That's rude, Peter, sir. RUDE.

That PS3 owner is prob just insecure. If developers dont repeatedly refer to the PS3 specifically, he might realize what a waste of money it was
Wow..This has to be the dumb ass statement of the year, folks!

I still figure if we just ignore the fanboys, they'll go away.

Just because they can't afford all three consoles, it's no reason to get snotty ;-)

I can't afford a high end gaming rig, but I don't hold that against PC games...I just pine from afar...

Aye I agree with you, most games nowadays are just copy n paste of one that works, last gen there was a little old thing called INNOVATION!!! Sorry for the caps.

I'm mostly interested in that red button. I... I can't stop pressing it...
yes I will use this a lot now >.> I wonder if it will work with a smartphone whenever I say a funny BADUM TISH!

OT: yeah I hate the console wars though I may be a sony person (I tend to play it a lot more) I use all three and I enjoy them all when I play them no one is better than the otehr and fanboys need to be smacked for thinking that

Well, I don't wanna get into a big argument about generational differences. Personally I think its unfair to compare a generation that hasn't really peaked yet to one that is pretty much finished.

As for fanboys, I'm sure I'm on record somewhere around here blaming them for everything that has ever gone wrong since the Kennedy Assassination.

About time somebody spoke out about console fanboys. Maybe this will cool their heads a bit. And, I also bookmarked the punchline button. Thank you, Funk.

There have always been fanboys, from the early days of serious console gaming with the sega master system and N.E.S. We never heard about it because the internet was basically limited to isolated bulliten boards and a few pages of grainy naked chicks.

Now we have online computer magazines with forums with red faced people screaming at the top of their keyboards about how Console X is better then Console Y. And even more pages of grainy naked chicks.

P.S; Console X is the Xbox360, suckit PS3 noobies :)

The wii is ful of shovelware, the PS3 is the most expensive console and has the fewest games because of its unique design, the 360 has the stigma of the RROD and the games are available on pc with mods and without yearly costs, the pc market is moving to consoles because of rampant piracy and a larger market. Everyone is bitter and wants to blame the competition.

Tell that to Blizzard, Valve and Bioware. Plus, there's plenty of piracy on consoles. Ever heard of the R4? Google it. In fact, google how to mod your 360 to pirate games for that as well if you don't believe it occurs.

/Just saying PC isn't the only victim of piracy.
//It is probably the most prominent sufferer though.
///Valve still seem to be doing okay.

Rock on, Infinity Ward. I'm glad to see that not every company is swept up in this unending feud. I mean, seriously, it's gotten out of hand.

The 360 fanboys hate the PS3 fanboys, the PS3 fanboys hate the 360 fanboys, both the 360 and PS3 fanboys look upon the Wii with contempt, and the PC fanboys hate every gaming system that isn't their own.

It's elitism, pure and simple. While my opinion is that the 360 is, right now, one of the best if not the best gaming choices out there, I don't confuse it with fact. Hopefully more and more people out there will come to adopt that same philosophy. And my cat will grow silver wings and vomit candy canes all day long.

The irony in that post was too delicious. It must be fattening.
Yep, I checked the label:

It's just to damn delicious
