What does a good journalist do? Consider all information until it is debunked by the source said information deals with. I will not discount MisterX or the people there until Microsoft speaks on Nov 12th and Nov 22nd. There is highly unlikely scenarios and then there are scenarios by other people there that are much more plausible. I enjoy doing research. I welcome as much information as possible to figure out what is likely and what isn't likely.

Do not try to slander me. You will fail because I am simply not that stupid.

You lost any kind of hand/repsect on this site when you said you would consider MisterX... that guy is a loon.

Take Sonygaf and throw it away. It is the worst fanboy site on the internet of any medium.

Someone needs to hack that site and shut it down. Its ajoke beyond all comprehension. HAHA

Yeah. I read that tweet. But what about the other 2 guys who've said they think it's odd that they have to go to an event to review games instead of by their lonesome?

It's not easy doing a global launch of a console. This is not easy for either Sony or MS... 

Doing a 2 day review allows them to do Massive PR and get people all in one place. It also means they dont have to necessarily ship lots of dev kits worldwide to these people. It's funny how these journo's expect to get kit for free, but thats another argument. If they are working on a patch, perhaps they dont want to send out dev kits and update them all... perhaps PSN isnt ready yet...

So i personally dont find it strange, and I wouldnt blame MS for doing the same. This is a massive day for both companies, and will be their launchpad to the next few years, of course they want to control it. These Journos need to just go to the event, play the games and tell people their impressions.. if they are not able to look past the free food/goodies/drinks then they are not worth listening too.

If day 1 all new consoles blow up, we will know about it from users not these leeches called journalists.

I'd put him kinda low. I do believe he started the gpu downclock rumor.

I've gone through that blog several times now in search of some sign of intelligence (in vain). What is interesting, though, is that several "contributors" have the same writing style and make the same spelling errors. Anyways, if anyone wants to see something really, really pathetic, his blog is the ultimate address.

I do. Why wouldn't we? These issues if true will be fixed over time.

Its rep has gone now.  Its allowed itself to become the mouthpiece of sony fanboys.

ruined.

You can tell everyone in that thread wants it to be true (why would you?) and people across the net these days will hang onto any rumour regardless of its origin.

The problem is that some of the rumours will be true and some will be false, but its more of a problem if a site becomes too powerful... then an incorrect rumour can be very harmful to an individual or company... which isnt particularly nice.

I enjoy reading Neogaf (though they havent approved my account)... i find the different things fascinating, but I can see the frustration when truths get denied when they are obvious and when rumours/false information is lept on. It's just not good either way.

I don't understand how a the failure of a console you never planned on buying would make you have more fun on something else. this is like sports.

For anyone that watches basketball, xbox one is the bulls and negaf, (along with a few people here who are better off just reading post on negaf) are heat fans.
