Wow, I can't stand pushy friends that push you to get something just because you want them to have it, so selfish and pointless, woop it's going to increase PS3 sales by 1 unit, what's the point?

Your argument is hugely biased btw. You have a great point with bluray and free online multiplayer, the rest is either not true anymore or your own bias.


I'd rather have a pushy friend than one that one that would let me make a stupid decision. He said his friend doesn't even play his 360. But now that a slim 360 came, he wants to spend $300 on that? You realize that he could save that $300 and still play 360 games right? Or instead of spending that $300 on an item he doesn't use, he can use it on a something new.

You probably don't play PSP, right? Did you go out and buy a PSPGo just because it got redesigned? If I was jneul in this situation, I would have told you to buy a DS instead of wasting your money on the SAME item that you don't play

And what's worse, he was about to get a PS3 before the slim 360 came out. So back to my example. You have a PSP. You don't play it, it's gathering dust. You were about to get a DS, but then BAM, PSPGo comes out. No new games, just new hardware. All of a sudden, you don't want the DS anymore, you want to buy the PSPGo because it's a redesign. What kind of friend would I be if I saw that you had one thing that gathered dust, and you wanted to try something new, but is about to spend good money on another dust collector just because it looks different, and I let you go ahead and let you spend that money without speaking to you about it? 

I guess I'm being pushy if I tell the whole VGC community not to buy a slim 3D0 if that came out tomorrow, even though none of us plays the 3D0, and would buy it purely for aesthetics. Sure, it's the friend's money and he should do what he wants with it, but as a friend, jneul is right in trying to tell him otherwise.

If he buys a slim 360, he'll just have 2 dust collecting paperweights

If she was a decent friend she would show him trailers for all the upcoming 360 games (because you know, there are some coming ..) and then let him make his own mind up, she's essentially trying to sell the PS3 to him, he can make his own mind up, and if it's a mistake then it's his to make.

Let's not pretend this is anything other than what it is, jnuel trying to get another PS3 owner, from the op it doesn't seem like she cares at all about his needs or wants, she just outlines that he hasn't played his 360 in a while (neither have I, yet I plan to buy around 15 games in the next 6 months) and decides to take it upon herself to sell him a PS3 solely based on the fact that she's PRO Sony.

I'm not sorry for telling it how it is.

ugh that's 'your' situation...doesn't mean the friend is ALSO planning buying 15 games or anything...for all we know he might be getting it cuz it's da slim and shiny? I would rather trust the friend of the person in question that you on the matter...she is just telling him reasons why he may want to reconsider...big friggin deal ...stop being so ANTI sony , for a staff member it's unsightly

Get a grip, I havn't been anti Sony ONCE in this thread, I'd be saying exactly the same if you swap jnuel for toastboy talking about the xbox.

And yes I know that's my situation, but if she plans on showing him all the upcoming games on PS3, why not do it for 360? he might not be aware of what's coming up thus actually start buying games.

Next time come up with something better than "blah SONY HATER"

You'll find I havn't trolled Sony since I started reviewing last JULY. Just becase I converse with Sony fans in a certain way doesn't mean I have anything against Sony themselves

EDIT - Actually I just re-read everything I wrote, absoloutely NOTHING I wrote is Anti Sony, so why the hell do half of you feel the need to shout anti sony at me all the time?
