This is a very wierd thread. In this thread I am going to discuss the extend you showed your fanboyism to a certain brand or company. It can be anything.

So why wait. Here is mine.

Epitome:

I have successfully converted "many" of my die hard Xbox 360 fans into PS4 owners. Among these there is a friend who is a super halo fan. He idolizes master chief. But I struck their fanboyism with DRM issue and games. He was very impressed how PS3 pumped out good games even at the end of its life cycle. He now regrets after seeing master chief collection. But the last of us remastered has reduced his grief a little bit. He plans to get Xbox One next year though.

But many friends are still in pipeline. These guys wont buy a new system unless there are many good games in it. There is a good chance that many of these guys will be getting PS4. Thanks to me and my PS4 "priest" team (aka friends). Lol.

Big failure:

One of my friend is a forza fan. When he was in Bangladesh I told him to get PS3 a lot of times. He was somehow reluctant. But later he said he will get one. Last year he went to USA with green card and purchased PS3 from gamestop. I told him to get PS4. But thanks to Evolution studios delay and gamestop emplyees pushing he took Xbox One with Forza 5. Curse you guys.

So what about you guys?

 

PS: The purpose of this thread is not to mock anyone. But to share funny experiences. I want to see how people showed their love to a certain brand through their actions.

Ummmm. I just encourage my friends to get whatever they want that most supports their games they like to play. 

I did encourage a friend at work to hold off on purchasing a PS4 at launch due to a lack of games on the system at the time and to save his money till it drops in price and has more offerings with games(he tends to be a very spontaneous shopper). He actually listened and hasn't regretted his decision, he actually said he would be pissed if he had spent the money with the offerings it has had so far. He might change his mind this holiday though, never know. He was also unaware of the PS+ subscription that is a necessity for online gaming and that pissed him off as well.
