i think they mainly do it to start trolling on something else. its always like. i have all three consoles but killzone 2 sux. the first thing that pops into my head isw halo fanboy. or they say something like forza 3 doesnt compare to GT5 and i own a 360. yeah. i doubt it. what do youthink? plus, me personally dont see a needto have everycurrent gen console and a PC. i have a 360, dreamcast, jaguar, import saturn, and i had a wii. thats way more then enough gaming for me. i dont actually see it as cool to have so many consoles, i think its kind of strange actually. isnt there better things to do with your free time? but hey? to each his own i guess.

Considering I own every console, I tend to believe them. I just couldn't see someone claiming it for such an idiotic reason. However most of the time I don't care, I don't care if others know if I own every console or not either. My opinion is my opinion and it shouldn't be used to back me up.

I have no reason not to believe them. But I really don't care overall if they're lying or telling the truth.

Don't care. Usually you can spot one by just comparing their comments on the fanboy metter.

Honestly I don't really care. Just because someone own's or claims to own all the consoles does not make them immune to bias. Everyone has a preference and some people here find it fun to act ignorant in SW and be a fanboy to get a reaction. Just because someone owns all the consoles does not mean they can't be a fanboy to one.

I think SolidTy has them , but I think he built some robots and programmed them to play the games for him.

No. Of course not. It's physically impossible. The consoles are warring entities. Fans of one console cannot be fans of another, because having one console is pledging your allegiance to the fact that all other consoles are terrible, have no games, and are only bought by people who fail at life. Owning two is saying that both of your consoles are terrible. Owning three means you would automatically kill yourself.

It's just not possible.

Pretty much, I used to at least show my PSN trophy list, but it takes up too much space.

PSN: MauJustice
Xbox GT: MauJustice
Wii code: Don't care. I don't play multiplayer on it anyway.

I'm a gamer not a brand lover, I don't get caught up in the fanboy BS. I could care less which console is considered better, I just want to play the games, hence why I bought them all.

Most of the time. I see no reason NOT to believe them, unless the things they post are clearly misinformed and therefore a sing they are lying. But that is rare, I think.

However, I stand firmly by the idea that just because someone has all the consoles, it doesn't mean they are more of a gamer, more hardcore, or even KNOW more about gaming/consoles, than other people. In fact, based on my extensive SW experience, I would say the opposite is true. Many of the people claiming to own all consoles act like biased, unknowledgeable casual fanboys.

I'm on the side of don't give a damn and doubt they really have all 3, especially where they're bashing so hardly on a game they APPARENTLY bought and own.

Yeah I believe them because I usually always have almost all the consoles. This gen I only need a PS3 then I would've owned all the consoles I had a 360 but now I don't it was really my brothers. Last gen I had all but the Xbox but my brother had an Xbox while I had Dreamcast, PS2, and GCN. The gen before that I had a PS1 and N64 (Wish I had a Saturn) (I only care about the big 3 or big 2 depending on which gen it is.) Only one gen I have ever had 1 console and it was the NES. The next gen I had both Genesis and SNES.

I do care if people own a console they'e bashing because if you own said console, then you can form an educated opinion based on personal experience.

There have been plenty of cases where people have been caught in their lies about feature X on console Y.

The test is rather simple: 360 gamertags, PSN handles and Wii friend codes

when i had a wii and when i owned mass effect i tried to argue why i thought they were both crap (and even posted a pic of mass effect with a note to a user ) and i was called a fanboy and stupid. ill say this. nintendo fans are devoted for that little white box.

Just look through some of the setup threads if you are curious who has what they say they have. Generally you can tell who's full of crap pretty easily though.

I used to care, but then reality struck and I realized that I actually cared if someone was telling me the truth or not on the Internet of all places. So while I don't care if people lie on this forum about what they played/own, it is very hilarious to see them caught in that lie (i.e. PS_John).

I think you can judge fairly well from the post as well as from post history. Nothing says that someone that owns all the systems can't have favorites or negative views of a system or a game. I do think though that if someone post more than a quick fanboy oneliner that they are most likely being honest.

I assume they're telling the truth; what's the point in discussion if you assume everyone else is lying? That said, it's all too common an accusation around here, but when someone accuses me, I'll admit it's hilarious proving them wrong.

Exactly but personal experience equals just an ordinary opinion and since everyone has different preferences it means nothing. Someone can go into a game with the mentality of disliking it fromt he beginning and never be satisfied. Besides just because some owns all the consoles doesnt mean they give each console the same attention and that could be due to alot more then just library. Having more friends on your PS3 or 360 could easily cause someone to complain about the other and how it collects dust when in reality they buy all their multiplats for their chosen system mainly due to their friends.

Yes, but I still don't care about their opinions. An opinion is still an opinion whether it comes from an elitist or a fanboy.

I dont understand why just about anyone with a job can afford to own all 3, while some are just being trolls, I think most do.

Of course. Owning all 3 consoles doesn't render anyone immune from being a fanboy. But in the very least, any factual items can be cross-checked and verified. For example, the fact that PS3 cannot to cross-game invites the same way that the 360 does it... or that the 360 does not support Blu Ray... those can be checked by parties on either side of the argument.

At the end of the day, an opinion is an opinion and those can't really be argued. However, for any given tibit of information.... having all consoles gives everyone a common point of reference.
