No one gets a free pass here and yet...

It's a little thing called double standards. For example: many Sony fanboys here were bashing Xbox Live for its price, claiming how paying for an online service is absurd and how greedy MS is etc.

Sony introduces PSN+, and suddenly we see comments from the same people saying that paying for an online service is "like totally worth it" and "it has great features so it's ok" etc.

What they offer makes no difference, especially when all you want to do is just play a few matches online. I'm merely pointing out that the same fans who condemned Xbox live to hell and back are the same fans who seem to have no problem paying for PSN+. What worries me the most is that Sony might make paying for PSN obligatory. The thought that Sony would charge for their online service seemed inconceivable by many.

Nah, no one gets a "free pass" here. PS3's launch to early 2008 was a field day with fanboys bashing the PS3 (Overpriced / No games / Failure / PSN is a joke blah blah blah) you couldn't say anything positive about the PS3 without getting bashed but since MGS4 things have changed. Sony has gotten better and Microsoft has gotten worse. Also, alot of the 360 fanboys have left or gotten banned while PS3 fanboys have come out of hiding since then.FlamesOfGrey

In this forum, people see what they want to see.reiv

Simply put, yet so true.

actually on SW there was once two threads "ps3 sucks because" and one called "360 sucks because" both at the same time. But i remember the mods closing the 360 thread and leaving the ps3 thread open to be bashed.dvalo9

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"][QUOTE="wiifan001"]When did Kevin Butler ever bash Nintendo or the Wii?blitzcloud

Yes and no. The fact is just that there are more Cows in SW in general.SaltyMeatballs

well usually facts can be proven so where is the proof?

[QUOTE="blitzcloud"]

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"] really? i mean you missed the controller like a lollipop thing or the we dont flail our arms like this *insert girly flailing* when playing games etc. etc.??? obviously sony advertising and not from him personaly but you understand....hopefullySaltyMeatballs

And the statement you say wasn't from KB afaik.

Maybe....but then again whenever Sony does do something to "screw up" you'll see about 3-4 threads on the exact same subject. Half the times, people will defend them just because of the poorly contrived argument trolls/flamebaiters make like "OMG, Sony took out the OSI, THEY LIED, we should TOTALLY SUE THEM!!!!!"

How exactly do you defendthat?

what i think is most telling about the different fanbases is that from 2006 to 2008 the ps3 got lots of hate but when the ps3 got better people forgave it for being a joke and went out and bought one.

from 2005 to today the hardcore ps3 guys hated on the 360 no matter what it delivered or did not deliver.

it seemed like back in the old days that ps3 hate was based on howaverage (or bad) the games were while 360 hate was based on emotion and personal reasons like being upset at getting stuck in 3rd place and being upset that ms would even dare to enter the console market.

The pole and the amount of posts agreeing with TC, seams to indicate otherwise;)

I realy think that there is no Gaming system getting a free pass. its all down to whats in the news and selective reading:D

M$ is worse than Nintendo and Sony.

Bash Sony, because when they screw up, I'm gonna be right there with ya.

The problem with this OP is that you don't quote or paraphrase the other side of the spectrum. You know it goes both ways. No one gets a free pass. You'll always have fans of each brand attacking and/or defending something. Not only that, you're grouping people as being hypocrites.

That's exactly what it is. I think a lot of us are smart enough to put it into perspective.

Yes most of the posters on here are Playstation fanboys I thought everybody knew this? I think it has more to do with the average age and fact many of the posters here are male, and the fact Sony clearly markets more towards that age bracket (which makes sense seeing as they spend more on gaming). Its ironic because Nintendo fans have always been portrayed as young kids yet they seem to act far more dignified 8).

Edit: Btw I voted no because more people in their corner =/= special treatment. There have been numerous "Sony killed my usb devices" threads in the last 24 hrs.

I disagree. The PS3 was never a joke. People just expected it to come out from launch running. The 360 had a year head start which mean two good years of some 3rd party exclusives and for some reason people expected the PS3 to match or beat that during it's launch year. People forget how the 360 rode on PS2 multiplats it's first year.

The PS3 had some great AA games throughout it's first year. But of course MS fanboys loved to brag about their AAAE games and that's all that mattered. AA games meant the PS3 "had no games". Well now Nintendo andMS fanboys love AA games and use them to defend their library all the time. MS fanboys even stopped caring about exclusives which were big in 06 and 07 and wanna be best friends with PC fanboys to brag about their shared games.

There was no logic to any of the fanboy mess in SW and there still isn't. There is no reason to HATE any console. I may think that one console doesn't offer me much gaming wise but I far from hate it.

I don't see any system get a free pass, actually -- unless it's the 3DS. PS3 has the most supporters posting currently, but that doesn't mean it's been getting a free pass. Just part of the SW cycle.Stevo_the_gamer

oh yeah btw, RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACER!!!!!!!

the ps3 was not only a running gag here in sw but everywhere. how can you not remember the sony quotes, giant enemy crab, the $600 press sitting forwards pics then stunned to silence sig pics, george forman grill pcs, haze, lair, the how you lost your brand video, ect ect ect...

oh yeah btw, RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACER!!!!!!!

Riverwolf007

The PS3 was the BUTT of many jokes but as a system it was far from a joke. I also remember all the sales threads/articles about how POOR it was doing and then remember when Sony and MS released their yearly total sales and the PS3 outsold it worldwide. The PS3 as a system was not a joke, it was a solid piece of gaming equipment with the best Blu ray player on the market at that time. Its software left a little to be desired but mainly because it was it's first year and as Sony has shown all they needed was time to develop.

I think the main reason the PS3 was clowned on was because the 360 had built up a significant fanbase by the time the PS3 launched.

No. 360 vs PS3 is a matter of personal taste. Cows outnumbering other groups isn't.
