You're right, 360 fans don't hype games. Forget about Halo 3, Gears of War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Forza 3, *goes on ridiculously long list*.

The difference is that all those games you listed, except obviously Forza because it is not out yet, sold like hotcakes.  The shit PS3 fans change their avatars for/talk up constantly never sells impressively, never gets super high meta scores, etc.  It is hyped because it is a PS3 exclusive.  inFamous is easily the best example.

To be fair, I've never even played inFamous.  I don't hate on PS3 either.  As I type this I am waiting on mine to arrive from Amazon.  But for reasonable human beings without an all-consuming console preference, it gets extremely tiresome reading nonstop hype about games that will never amount to anything, ever.  PS3 fans on this site continually make the most illogical and retarded comments in favor of their console.  Then again, you should know that, since you're buying the PS3 version of Batman: AA because the console is black.

So, wait. Gimme a sec. Are you saying that PS3 owners aren't allowed to hype games unless there's assurance that the game will sell well? PS3 fans hyped Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4, and a ton of other great games. Even if those games didn't end up selling like other big blockbusters, they were amazing games. And while we're on the subject, the sales of the big 360 games are laughable next to the sales of the big Wii games. Maybe we should criticize 360 fanboys for that. Oh, and do 360 owners not hype "meh" or bad games either? There's Too Human, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Shadowrun, The Last Remnant, and really, most of the RPGs on the platform. InFamous was hyped because it looked to be a really great game from a proven developer. It got good ratings, and is quickly getting to a million sales. How is that "the best" example? How is that even a good example at all? It kind of disproves your point. And the next sentence made me giggle. "I've never even played inFamous, and I don't hate on the PS3, but here I am hating on both." Not the exact quote, but I had to rework it. People without all-consuming console preferences also don't hate on consoles for what fans say. Take it from someone who actually isn't biased, because I know you are. By the way, 360 fans are just as guilty of the things you described. Or should I remind you about 2 members who were 360 fans and left because they were constantly ridiculed for their stupid posts? You basically just insulted a humongous group of people with that statement as well, including me. I'm buying the PS3 version of the latest Batman game for not just the exclusive content, but also because it simply feels like it belongs on the PS3. It's similar to how certain series feel like they should be played on the 360. Everything about the PS3 is dark. The color, the boxart, Sony themselves, and even the desolate, creepy opening menus. It fits Batman perfectly. So really, thanks for insulting me and a bunch of other people. Now shut up and go away.

#1 - I am not in any way hating on the PS3.  I am not even hating on PS3 fans.  It's a great system with great hardware and great games and no doubt plenty of awesome fans.  I am criticizing the vocal minority of PS3 fans on this site.

#2 - 360 fans can be just as annoying as PS3 fans, the only real difference is that for every one annoying 360 fanboy on this site that leaps immediately to mind, I can think of three or four annoying PS3 fanboys.

#3 - Exclusive Joker content is a great reason to get Batman on PS3.  Boxart isn't.  And in the post in question, you pretty clearly stated that the reason you were getting it on PS3 was the boxart/atmosphere, NOT the Joker content.

#4 - Just to reiterate, I hate Wii fanboys and 360 fanboys just as much as PS3 fanboys.  It's just that there are, on this site, less of them to hate, and the ones that exist are less organized and blatant.
