its true of a lot of what you said, ps3 fanboys can be quite annoying and i think it would be safe to label them as the worst of the 4 types of fanboys (including pc fanboys if they even exist.)
but there is one thing that you and all xbox fanboys must know, a lot of people actually favored final fantasy versus over 13 before the multiplat announcement.

 

So us Sega Fanboy's don't count anymore? Hmmphhh!

Oh wow, nice list. I was coming in here thinking you were serious though, but I love these kinds of just-to-be-funny threads :P

Squilliam, you've been getting a lot of competition lately?

Sony was forced to extend their repair/replacement warranty to include all consoles produced from launch through 2003, if they broke due to varying problems before the end of 2005.

1) They will not refer to video games simply as games. The games will either fall under the categories of exclusive or multi-platform. Games exclusive to the PS3 platform are always weighted as being of far more value.

This is stupid as quite a few people of all different biases and preferences refer to games like this.

2) Price Analysis:
Often times articles are about current sales trends. They are usually from NPD or Chart Track. If the PS3 is not first in sales it is because the PS3 has a price disadvantage because it is more expensive than the consoles that Microsoft and Nintendo offer. But if an the article is posted about the PS3 pricing itself, these very same people will claim the PS3 is actually the cheapest out of the three consoles available because of available features. Usually the Sony fanboy will bring up features out of box such as Wii-fi, Bluray...etc. This is a tricky one so be aware.

Value versus Cost versus Economy. It has incredible value which makes its cost more than worth it but at the same time the economy doesnt allow people to fully grasp value in its best form. The PC market wouldn't have shrunk 30% in sales if it did.

3) Comparative Analysis:
Websites such as GameTrailers, Eurogamer, or GameSpot sometimes do in-depth analysis of cross platform games. If the PS3 version of the game is found to have a lower framerate or lower texture detail etc, the equipment used to do the video capture has been corrupted. The people that analyze these games everyday for a living are not the experts...the fanboys are.

GameSpot royally screwed up and being bought out by CBS and having the old staff replaced didnt help at all on its credibility. The other sites have proven their biases quite a few times. Reviewers who care more about how quickly they can get paid versus quality of the review causes issues. Reviews are opinionated but they also need objectivity. This is why VGChartz is by far a more trustworthy site for reviews than these. Only sites like Cheat Code Central and a few others are whats left of truly objective reviewers.

4)Media Bias:
If games exclusive to the PS3 platform do not receive AAA ratings from any given website it is obvious that they are biased against Sony or the PS3 or paid by Microsoft. Games that are exclusive to the PS3 platform all deserve a rating of nine or higher. The fact that these game outlets have been reviewing games for years is irrelevant. They all of a sudden have no credibility.

See above, replace word "reviewer" with media. And Review with news articles.

5: Developer Laziness:
If a game turns out subpar in any way, shape or form on the PS3 it is soley due to developer laziness. A good example of this is Valve. Since Valve sometimes opts to make games for the 360 or PC it is because they are lazy. And also since they outsourced there development material for the PS3 version of the Orange Box to EA. Never mind the fact that Valve is a very small development team with limited funds that has no experience with PS3 development. On the other end of the spectrum, developers who make PS3 exclusive games such as Insomniac, Naughty Dog...etc are never lazy. They are the cream of the crop of the development community.

They are. Just like Valve. A great game developer makes sure their games are as spot free as they can. Bungie and many other developers are too. There is a massive difference between the teams behind Halo, Ratchet and Clank, Gran Turismo, Unreal Tournament, Half-Life, etc and games like Haze, Petz, Halo PC, Gundam Crossfire, etc. There are lazy developers who put an extreme lack of effort into their games, especially in Quality Assurance.

6: Every PS3 Gamer is a Hardcore PC Gamer:
Many 360 games are released on both the 360 and PC. PS3 fanboys always stress the point that they will be buying the PC version of the game in every PC/Xbox 360 thread. It is ovious that every PS3 owner also owns a very high end PC rig. A game that is released on both the 360 and PC is not a console exclusive. Keep in mind that the PC is a console also. This will be posted in five to ten of their comments on most Xbox 360/PC threads. Whether the game is actually good or not is secondary. The only thing that matters is whether the game is a "true" exclusive or not.

By far untrue.

7: DVD-9:
If the PS3 version of a game underperforms in any way shape or form than a rival console version of the game it is never the PS3's fault. It is because the game had to be dumbed down because of the limitations of the Xbox 360. Usually this point is stressed or blamed on the limitations of DVD-9. DVD-9 is usually the scapegoat for various other problems also. Usually you will see at least one comment in any thread no matter what the topic is about the problems with DVD-9.

This can be proven actually due to the fact Blu-ray also accepts higher storage of content making it so that you dont have a single DVD with only 6 minutes of true 1080p video with full 7.1 audio.

8: The PS3 Exclusives List:
The PS3 exclusives list is the holy grail of any Sony fanboy. It can put an end to any debate and is considered the ultimate of rebuttals. You have to realize there is no countering the sacred list.

9) A Game is a Flop Until it Comes to the PS3:
Recently the game Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 was announced for the PS3. Some of the reviews for the original Xbox 360 version were less than stellar. This game was considered a flop because it didn't reach the same score as Sigma, that is until it was recently announced for the PS3. Now every PS3 owner has no reason to buy an Xbox 360.

10) Red Ring of Death:
If a Sony fanboy is cornered with no valid rebuttal there is always red ring of death. Red ring of death is very similar to the PS3 exclusives list. It is the be-all end-all of all arguments. Once you have been on the receiving end of a RRoD statement your argument is considered case closed. They never seem to remember the PS2's disk read error.
