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.

 

The friend already has a working 360 THAT HE DOESN'T EVEN PLAY (according to jneul). The friend was then about to get a PS3 and has apparently even bought games off of jneul in preparation of buying a PS3. But now, the friend wants to buy another 360 instead. What's the point in that, especially if the friend ISN'T EVEN PLAYING THE 360? The OP isn't trying to make the PS3 look better than the 360, the OP is trying to show the friend that instead of spending $300 on something he's not going to use, if he's wants new hardware, get a PS3 because it has these games and these features.

If you, Seece, as a gamer had a choice, what would you choose: Have two 360s or a PS3 and a 360? Better yet, you're pretty anti-Sony, and I'm not sure if you have a PS3 or not, but if you had/have a PS3 phat, and wasn't playing it anymore, and you wanted a 360, would you have turned around and bought the PS3 Slim....just cause it was slim? The games that you weren't playing before didn't change. You already have a PS3 so you can see "all the trailers of upcoming games coming out", and what's better is, even if you buy the 360, YOU CAN STILL PLAY THE PS3 GAMES BECAUSE YOU STILL OWN A PS3! All your friends were telling you "Dude, you already have a PS3 and you don't even use it. Why buy another one because it looks different? Get a 360 instead, it has XBL, Halo, Gears, integration with popular things like Facebook and Twitter, ESPN, etc" <---you know, telling you things the PS3 doesn't have...would you call them pushy or just informing you so you wouldn't waste your money? Especially if you're friend bought Forza 3 and Crackdown off you last month in prepping to buy a 360 (just an example)

 

"Hey guys, I have a MacBook Pro 17". I want a Dell XPS now. Oh wait...there's a MacBook Pro that's smaller? Instead of having two operating systems, I just want two of the same computers just for shits and giggles" <---this is what you're advocating in your quest to make jneul look like "another PS3 fan trying to sell a PS3"
