Advertise systems in sigs...what compels people to do so?

Why shouldn't we promote the things we like? We want people to enjoy the things we like. If that means participating in word of mouth marketing, then so be it.

Maybe it's only the ps3 fans on this site because we are passionate about our gaming and a 300$ PS3 is one of the biggest advancements for gaming this year beside game announcements.

There is no difference showing a game announcement, or a console's advertisement.

Shoot, I love my Jeep Commander, but I don't put a pic of it in my sig.

Seriously, I just ROTFL when I see a PS3 'It does everything' in a sig. I shake my head. I can just imagine that person talking to a girl - hey, wanna swing by MY PAD and play some Little Big Planet, Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2 with me? Yeah, I got a slick PS3, baby. You need to check it out.'

The only console I'd consider putting into my sig is the Wii. I have yet to see a system get women excited to talk about it. Give a hot soccer mom a compliment, she may say thanks. Talk into your Bluetooth about a Wii and she'll stop you and talk your head off. Trust me - it's one of the new ways to break the ice with the ladies now.

Some fans are way more devoted to their console than other owners are. That's their opinion.

And J, we ARE on a gaming site, so ...

I don't see a link between your signature on a gaming forum and talking to girls.

If we were on a car forum, having a Jeep Commander in your sig would be perfectly normal. Even now, nobody's stopping you. Go ahead and put it in! I don't see why anyone should judge you for it.
