Wow, seems like I hit a nerve with a lot of people on this thread. The main purpose of this was just to poke a little fun at my brother for trying to make a profit off of buying an extra Xbox One to sell but lost his chance for whatever reason. I have no idea why he didn't sell it in time, perhaps just too busy, I am not his keeper.
As to the people getting offended by this, It is not as if any of you know my brother and I am sure none of you know me personally. No harm done. It is just an anonymous jab that is non-slanderous due to the anonymity. There is no need to take things so seriously all the time.

When I spoke about the our gaming history it was mainly to point out how he became a bit of a fanboy when he got his Xbox360. To further express his fanboyism I included how many system he had gone through. As to the people claiming I am a fanboy, that may be true but I am a PC fanboy, not a PS3. PC is my primary gaming machine and the PS3 is there for exclusives and leisure gaming.

This was in no way meant to attack MS's consoles. I think I covered everything...

There is nothing really better about admitting to be a fanboy of PC rather than a PS3, the term fanboy is a negative one against other systems.

As for the rest of this post if you wanted a laugh at your brother for spending his money.... do it at him? that is the reason people said you should keep in mind blood is thicker than water, you're taking a jab at someone in your family for what you think is him losing money and laughing about it, what if something was to happen to you and you asked him for money as he is your family.... would you considering laughing about his loss online then?

I said that I may be considered a PC fanboy and not a PS3 fanboy if anything so that people don't think I am attacking the Xbox simply because it is not a PS3 like other have eluded to. But yeah, you have a point, a fanboy is a fanboy no matter what the preference.

To you second part, I have done it AT him. Being brothers we give each other crap all the time. Of course we are always there for each other in times of need, if I were to need money or if he were to need money, we are family. The fact that I am musing about this has no hold on our relationship as family. Perhaps it is just me but I cannot understand why so many are so shocked, hurt, insulted or whatever about this thread. Are you to say that none of you have ever said anything about a close freind or family member to someone else in regards to a foolish decision they have made?

The way some people have reacted to this thread it as though I were holding a flashing sign up pointing to my brothers house revealing him as a rapist and murder.
