[X] My Assistant

You've done that before, so this doesn't surprise me in the least either.

Ok.

/hand grenade

The playstation 3 is in my opinion, an aberration. I was once a playstation fanboy, and still have my psx, ps2 and all my games dating back to the raiden project. I bought a ps3 as soon as they came out.
It cost double what my 360 cost me, and sony have made it quite irritating to modify or watch any pirated content on one.
I still have all my consoles.

From my original NES through to my halo 2 and 3 ltd xboxes.
Everything past my psx is modded.....Heavily.

Except my ps3.

I dropped that shit like a bad joke.

Sony lost a huge portion of their fanbase to other platforms because of one simple trait; GREED.

They literally priced themselves out of the game. A game they used to dominate.

If you are actually serious about gaming.......BUY A GODDAMN PC.

All credibility lost within one post. "Oh Sony took away my ability to watch all the stuff I stole, those greedy bastards."


I know it was also super greedy of them to allow you to buy whatever hard drive you wanted, any Bluetooth headset you wanted, any keyboard you wanted... you know, so you could price shop for good stuff. They were also pinching so many pennies when they allowed you to play that game you just spent $60 on for free on their network. Not like those benevolent people at Microsoft who force you to buy their over priced hard drives, their awful headsets and also want to tack on a nice fee for you to play that new shiny disc online with your chums. It was out of the kindness of their heart to allow you the honor of buying buying a 160GB hard drive for nearly $200 because of how amazing of a deal they were giving you. God bless their charity.

Some people like to modify things they own.

When I forked out my cash for that system, it became my property.

Not a perpetual symbiotic link to the sony corporation.

As for watching questionably obtained content?

I got my NES when I was 7, and over the last 22 years, I think I've given sony/nintendo/microsoft enough of my money.

I pirate stuff, sure.

I also go out and buy legit copies of the games I like.

I'm not gonna go and buy a 100 dollar blue ray disc because some promo guy hyped the shit out of it, bring it home and find that it sucks.

A classic example is that Duke Nukem Forever game. I was waiting for that for years.

The trailer looked awesome, all the supposed "people in the know" said how great it was whilst wiping their asses with 3d realms' "gratuities".

100 bucks down le crapper.

Seriously, if think sony and corporations like them aren't greedy bastards? you need your head examined.

Protip: ALL CORPORATIONS ARE GREEDY BASTARDS! You're the one that used that as the sole basis of your argument against the PS3. You use weak arguments, you get fucked for it.

WOW

I think my sarcasm detection unit just exploded.

I don't play online with consoles.

The only online interaction I indulge in regard to gaming is World of Warcrack.

That and reading the hilarious overreactions of butthurt ps3 fanboys.

Seriously. Save such passion and indignance for something more worthy of your attention.

Also, I feel obligated to point out that I avoid buying "branded stuff" to compliment my gaming systems.

I don't care what something is designed to do, only what it can do. Installing a hdd in a 360 is a piece of piss.

As is nearly every other mod I've done.

The ps3 was built with people like me in mind. Sony doesn't like the idea of anyone modifying their equipment.

Same with prettymuch every apple product ever conceived. If you want to pay the prices you stated above, go ahead, nobody is stopping you. It is, however far more advantageous to learn a bit about electronics, and save yourself some cash.

Eddy: It is far more productive to debate something menial without resorting to vitriolic rhetoric and insults. It kinda makes you look silly.

Just because you have this supposed status on this forum doesn't make you rants any less childish.

As for arguments, you're the one arguing and sloshing venom on the internet.

Protip;

Arguing on the interwebs means you've already lost.

Who said I'm butthurt at all? I just enjoy people giving dumb shit reasons for hatred of things while ignoring that their complaints apply to other things far more than that. I am also not a fanboy. I own a PS3 and an Xbox 360. I used to buy most of my games on the 360 until they kept on breaking and until buying little things to make it better got fucking annoying. I was able to do much more with my PS3 and it's been a tank without a single problem with the exception of fucking lightning hitting it. It took person killing electricity to make my PS3 slow down for a second while the act of playing games caused 3 360's to shit the bed.

If the argument is that PS3 doesn't have quality games, it's wrong.
If the argument is that they were greedy in comparison to other consoles, it's wrong.
If the argument is that it doesn't have the online services of something like the 360, that's valid.
If the argument is that it's not as flexible in it's abilities as a PC, that's valid.

At some point the internet decided that the PS3 was this generation's console that it was ok to hate, with or without good reason.

Further proof you have no idea what you're talking about. You're involved in this argument and yet you sling that at me as if it means I'm a loser in this exchange. You really are a fucking idiot aren't you?

Or you could just be ranting into cyberspace.

That makes you wrong.

As I am yet to receive the memo that your opinions are facts, and any more then just that; opinions.

The overall quality of games: proven in a link above. Yes, opinions on games will differ but when dealing with the subject of quality, aggregate opinions on said games is as close to fact as you can get.

The subject of greed comparatively speaking to other consoles: I already gave you a point by point as to why that's patently false.

Just curious, can you read?

Further proof you have no idea what you're talking about. You're involved in this argument and yet you sling that at me as if it means I'm a loser in this exchange. You really are a fucking idiot aren't you?

I honestly believe you are the loser here, and in more then just this particular exchange.

If you feel the need to throw your weight around a forum, to belittle other people and basically turn into a rabid dog when ever you don't get your way. That makes you the loser, for the rest of your life.

My 12 year old brother responds with less petulance then you.

I have watched you make other people on this forum feel unwelcome and watched you basically behave like a total jackass.

I have no need for the regard of anyone who behaves in such a manner.

You lose sir.... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Once again, you fuck up your own points. You certainly have a penchant for that.

One more thing, not once have I "thrown my weight around". Have I demanded you respect me for my post count or age on this forum? Have I thrown around the word elder or anything? Nope, I've just discussed the subject at hand. You read it that way because you wanted to be the lovable underdog going against he mean old guy.

I thought that was the Wii's job. Or is that more like last generation?

The Wii was never really hated since it had a few franchises people held near and dear. It just got labeled the casual system and ignored by those people who wear the word "hardcore" like a badge of honor.

mean old guy.

That right there.

That's you.

Have a nice evening. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I kinda like the Wii. Shame it doesn't have any games on it.

That's been the killer for me. I owned a Wii at one point but just couldn't find anything that caught my interest. I'm kinda meh'd out on Mario games, Metroid is ok but nothing special anymore and I've never cared much for Zelda. It would just be a novelty item that I'd rarely use if I hadn't sold it those years ago.

Should go down the list of my whole collection again? There are some good titles.

Would it give you a raging erection to go through it again? If so, carry on.

It wouldn't.

Ain't that the truth?
