PLEASE read whole thing Before replying Thank You!!

Would I be considered a Fanboy if I have pretty much have only Sony consoles? I Have a PSP Phat and used to have a PS2 and since then Upgraded to the PS3. I also still have a Old Skool SNES and had a original Game boy, but havent had any other Nintendo consoles. I think the Nintendo Wii is cool I have played it, but its not really my cup of Tea. I have played and have been considering buying and XBOX 360, but I'm still hoping that they could eliminate that RROD a little more! That newer price cut is Tempting but I have a feeling that they might come out with a newer Updated Console (XBOX 360 Slim or Something). What are your Opinions?

That depends. Mila Jojovich or Selma Hayeck?

 

Both, but I do pull more for Salma Hayek!!!

 

Ok, now if you could have a four way, you, both of these mentioned actresses, but the downside is that Rosanne Barr is in it too, do you do it or not?

Me, I dunno, I think 2 hot actresses makes up for one horrendous one.

By default, I say you're not a fanboy. Yet, the dark side can be very convincing. Stay away from it. To me it'd be like you getting bit by a zombie. Once you turn over, Imma have to take you out ;)

DUDE.. Dont do it !.. She would Crush you !

You're definately not a fanboy, because you prefer one brand over others, fanboy is more of a complicated state of mind.

oh yeah and Salma Hayek.

ur not a fanboy just because the majority of ur consoles/handhelds are sony products. IMO, being a fanboy is a state of mind, not based on wat consoles u own. U say that u think the Wii is cool and that u might get a 360, that right there means that u r open minded and have no console bias. All in all, if when thinking about another company's console or their games, unless the first things that pop into ur head are hateful even without really looking at console or game, and u can give credit when credit is due, then u r not a fanboy.

I don't think so, VGChartz members all seem to be interested in games and game consoles. To like certain games and prefer certain consoles and companies more so than others seems perfectly normal to me, just like preferring a Mercedes or a Ferrari, it can also be fun to make predictions and provide arguments with regard to sales potential, such can be looked at as a game or competition by itself.

IMO what distinguishes a true console fanboy is unreasonable behavior, like being angry because of the price of a console (sometime a console the person states not to be interested in even). As if someone who owns a Mazda should be upset about the price of a Mercedes (nobody is holding a gun to his face to buy a Mercedes...).

Being unhappy about the quality of a product (failures beyond industry standards) is a far more suitable argument to be dissatisfied about. Doesn't matter if it's a failure prone television, dish washer or washing machine. IMO a fanboy can be distinguished by unreasonable behaviour like becoming upset if someone criticizes his or her's console of choice for issues like this.

IMO the most obvious case of fanboyism is when someone becomes impolite or resorts to name calling when talking about something like game consoles or games.

I dont see that being a fanboy. A fanboy is somebody who beats everyone else over the head with his/her preference.

Yeah, not a fanboy until:

- You make posts with nothing but "X console is the best"

- Your arguments ignore certain glaring facts despite the fact that you know what those facts are and have intentionally chosen to omit them as they discredit your argument

- You will never buy the opposing console(s) regardless of the appeal and sheer awesomeness of their games library, just because it is that console.

- You get flamed by 80% of the userbase here for making SPAM comments in threads just to bash another console, regardless of the topic of the thread

- You see the light at the end of the tunnel for your console in a black hole (i.e there's obviously dark times ahead but you try and put a positive spin on it, utilising point no.2 frequently)

I am SuperChunk and I support this post.
