If PS3 fanboys get to ***** about people being "behind the times" when they call the PS3 a $600 buck monstrocity, you don't get to whine when we point out RROD got fixed.oliveira8 said:

I called you a basher cause you seemed like one (with the Halo comment). Sorry if I misfired, but the last week on the Escapist I've been trying to keep the fanboys in line, and it makes me a little paranoidward. said:
And what the 360 has accomplished is quite amazing really. Look at it in comparison to it's predecessor, and I think you'll see what I mean:
Xbox: People only bought for one game, default controllers were monstrous behemoths, other excellent games were few and far between, was HUGE, had an annoying interface, yadda yadda yadda.
360: Has a nice library of games, slick wireless controllers that were the right size, has a better interface, was just plain cooler.
Sure, other consoles have made huge leaps, but since MS is still a newbie on the console scene, I'm willing to allow them some tentative steps before trying anything massive like Nintendo. Besides, if you wanna get picky, the only console that has actually made a huge accomplishment is the Wii: it introduced an entirely new control scheme, and sacrificed a graphics upgrade, and still rose to be way on top of the console market.
Besides, the PS3 strikes me as being very similar to the 360 in that they are both simply upgrades of previous consoles. One focused on pushing high-tech, the other focused on building a better base for itself. That's the only difference in my mind.
And yet I'm unable to afford either ;p lol
Seriously though, i was a PS2 user and now I'm a PC user, but if I was gonna buy a console I would get a 360.......O.K I admit it I Like Achievements! (Don't hurt me )

It's funny, that's how I've turned out: I started PS2, got a 360, went to college with no TV, so now I'm a PC gamer for the most part. Until I get my TV back that is.runedeadthA said:
Of course, I'm also gonna grab another PS2. No way am I missing out on all those sweet titles...
"We're switching people from the PlayStation brand over to the Xbox brand."
Yeah, but how many of those people give a shit? They aren't Sony loyalists, just people looking for a cheap "next/current-gen" console.

So there are two kinds of upgrading PS2 owners? "Real Sony Supporters"(PS2-PS3) and "Fake Sony Supporters"(PS2-Something Else)? Sounds familiar...ElArabDeMagnifico said:

I wonder if MSFT's PR is run by the same people that do FOX New's(who else?) "Red Eye".
"How to lose fanbase and alienate competitors".

Fair enough, I normally am what you'd consider a basher (I even laugh when the older ladies that work in kmart or david jones crack open the display cases and start smacking the PROD'd 360s).scotth266 said:I called you a basher cause you seemed like one (with the Halo comment).

The wii did get a graphics upgrade by the way, just not in-line with other consoles of the same generation.
Omg, I seriously thought only 360 fanboys were douches. Turns out even its employees are. :S
That's just sad.
