OK i don't remember who it was but a while back when halo 3 came out they had some halo 3 poll which had no negative selections and someone made a topic complaining how come when there's a ps3 poll there's like 2 good choices and 3 bad ones. Hey was they were right.

Still to rich for my blood!!!!negative 360 was same price not to long ago)

Maybe depends how good haze and uncharted are (neutral but somewhat negative)

Finally the price is right. Bring on the Bluray era!!!(positive)

Can I retroactively return my $599 PS3? I feel kind of gypped. (negative again you shouldn't be feeling gypped because you had the system longer and have ps2 backwards compatibility and larger HD)

Never! You couldn't pay me! Wii60 4 Life!(negative Gamespots own personal views!!)

well there you have it we are now 100 % sure GS is unbiased!!

BTW I own all 3 systems and think they are all great, but this GS **** needs to stop and return to the times when reviewers were neutral and played games and rated them to their liking and not what system its on.

yea I got modded for writing on that thread. I said that it made me mad that the 360 fan boys and wii fanboys could voice their opinion on the poll, but those who already had a PS3 couldn't.

I have seen polls like that for a very long time. When there is a poll about Sony or the PS brand, there are a couple of negative answers(sometimes the majority is negative answers). When the poll is about Xbox 360 especially, there are almost never negative answers in the poll. I dont think every member or employee of gamespot is a 360 or Wii fanboy, but the one responsible for making the polls certainly are.

Are you talking about the poll about if you are impressed about it's sales? Because honestly, if you arent impressed with how much money it's made... your a fanboy.

360 poll = all positive answers.

Ps3 poll = all negative answers.

They dont even try to hide there fanboyism. Thats why I only come here for news and the wealth of user knowledge. Gamespot is run by a bunch of noobs. I doubt they even know what a good game is anymore if I had to judge from the past couple of years of reviews.

GAMESPOT PS3 POLL!

So PS3 just dropped its price to $250 on the 80 gig, released home for free anongside MGS4, FF13, GT5 and a FF7 remake. Your resposnse is ......

  • I hate black consoles
  • pfft, who cares about MGS4
  • I love my 360
  • I love my 360
  • Still to rich for my blood.
  • Home? But I have a home.

Thats about how it is.

I've also noticed that the polls assume you don't own one. They asked you if you were going to get one on one poll, but there were no "I already own one" answers.

Well, there is one.
"Can I retroactively return my $599 PS3? I feel kind of gypped."
Which basically makes it even worse. There is an option if you got a PS3 and are unhappy, but not one if you're happy with it.

And then they complain about people making "GS is anti-PS3" posts..

yea, gamespot is always throwing little fanboy jabs in there. When they do stuff like that it only brings out the fanboy in people. I know they cant think people are that stupid and they dont catch that stuff.

I hella agree wit u on dat, i got both and i barely play da X360 its all hype. Its ok but its that FPS BS that all dem people enjoy, i wish they'd stop treated the PS3 like its makes nuthin but bad moves. X360 bad moves aren't even that publicized like the red ring thing, the company losing its higest money maker, and how u gotta pay to get on the internet Muafcka im in college i dont wanna pay fo no internet, my system was gift ya dig. Newyas i feel ya my ninja

We should e-mail some of them into this thread and we can have a debate.

:lol: yeah right. As much as I would like them to prove me wrong, I would compare the GS admins and reviewers in the same level as our politicians.

*note: I just signed my ban contract for speaking out.

Lmao i left my pc because i was sure i would be modded and I'm not and the threads not locked. Well it just shows how messed up this site is. As someone stated i know its not ALL the GS employees but for the most part the majority of them are fanboys to the fullest. I mean they could've put your happy with your console and you don't really care. Or ps360 for life or pswii for life instead they just cause bad publicity for the sony console.

Well the polls show how 1337 Gamespot is towards the 360 we can assume they have no respect for Sony or even Nintendo and are likely to give a lower score to a game on a console other than thier precious 360 and that is why you should care, these people are supposed to be proffessionals.

yes these people are supposed to be proffesionals.

And that is the only complaint you can reasonably make. The fact that they claim they are.

although I agree it can be slightly annoying to see every comparison lean towards the 360 I just feel they can put whatever they want on their site and If it starts to annoy me too much I'll leave.

But The reviews seem reasonably fair so far if you look past the score they are still informative.

Kudos to the original Poster.

I think I might very well be one or two more Fanboy Police charges away from total ban.

Whatever, I've been a member on this site for over 4 years now, and it's gotten to be pretty much nothing but ridiculous. I've lost all respect for it and personally could care less.

That's why I've cancelled every mag subscription I've had other than game Informer, because EVERY OTHER SINGLE magazine is full of "teh bias".

BTW, Gabe Newell, you're a fat sack of crap and I don't care how good Orange Box is, I'll never buy it knowing it will save the lives of a few dozen donuts from being extinguished in your horribly distended gut, you turd.

Maybe it would help more if you post this complaint on the site enhancement & feedback board. If they lock it there, tell them MAILER_DAEMON sent you (he suggested that in another poll thread).

I agree though, whoever makes the polls is clearly a fanboy, however, that doesn't reflect the entire Gamespot staff.

totally agree when I saw the poll pop up a few days ago it bothered me.

I understand the desire to inject humor into a poll but this is redundant. All you really need are 3 options Yes, No and Undecided. Instead all the poll answers are so specific they don't really apply (what about people that already own one) (or what about people that are excited about the price and aren't relying on Haze and Uncharted) or like the original poster said they are just plain negative and instead of an answer to a poll, they've become much more of a cheap slam to any weak points a certain console might have, whether opinion based faults or actual.

I really don't get why the fanboyism has to run over in a poll since it's such a minor part of the site, yet there it is.

I'd like to see a 360 poll say "Is a 360 in your future?" and as an option to answer "no wayz bro f3ar RROD like woah" or "PSWii 4-Ever"

that type of poll would be a disservice to the console since it's a good console that like everything else in the world has short comings in certain areas. But turnabout is fair play isn't it? The playing field should be leveled one way or another, either bash all the systems or none.

They dont even have a yes answer in the current poll. WTF?
