I know tell me about it. For some reason the hardcore PS3 only fans on this site like to call me a "360" fanboy even though I play my PS3 pretty much constantly. I think its because I don't just mindlessly defend every single thing Sony does and praise every game for it. Oh well to be honest I don't really care anymore I know I love my PS3 and Sony's games so whatever.


That's why everyone wants to be a "lifestyle" brand.  Once you assosiate the brand as a part of your identity you will defend almost anything that brand does... because a screwup by that brand is like admitting a screw up of yourself.

In videogames it all started with Sega, was how they positioned themselves against Nintendo.  Makes sense when you think about it.  Videogames are usually a time intensive hobby and started when people are pretty impressionable.

Scary that marketing can effect people that much... but there is nobody to blame but those who buy into it.
