Forums - Microsoft - Kantor's in-depth guide for identifying a 360 fanboy.

3) The 360's library is better than that of the PS2. Never mind the fact that the PS2 had more than a large collection of shooters, and actually had varied genres. It didn't have a Halo, or a Gears of War, so the 360 wins.

Halo & gears of war = win!!!!


4) The PS3 is too expensive, especially for somebody living in a first world country with an internet connected computer, an HDTV, and a video game console with paid-for online. How can anybody living that rough a life possibly afford a $400 purchase?

Easy...they spent it on all the games they can play on the 360! XP

This was a pretty funny thread...although I sensed some animosity in it...hopefully you don't get banned for this one like xbot did for his! But if you do there will certainly be an outcry...mods be warned!

LMAO

Show that you're the better person and go into XBot's thread that is the same as this one and say all the same things you just said here.

Here, i'll even give you the link.

Why don't you do it instead? It seems you have enough time to waste..

Please, post in a topic you like, if you don't like this topic, don't post in it. If others like you can't find humor in this, fine. But don't post in here to start shit. Kay?

Lol funny and good job alot of those are pretty true and the one that said 360 games have never recieved a boost from bundles much me chuckle. Though I do have one problem you seem to hint the MS moneyhatted to get FFXIII but trust me thats far from the truth.

FFXIII was going to go multi-plat from the day the 360 started outselling the PS3 worldwide trust me on that. With a game as huge and expensive as FFXIII must be Square Enix simply can't afford to leave it on one console.

But anyways nice job.

Brilliant list Kantor. It's really funny, and I almost felt ashamed reading it as I recognised how true some of it was.

Even funnier is that some X360 fans actually got upset by the list lol.

Oh, it never stops, does it?

Squilliams perfect guide for fixing a thread identifying 360 fanboys:

#1: Write a new guide.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#1. You can identify most Xbox 360 fanboys by looking for the Xbox Live gamer-tag in their signature and checking that the post is indeed in the Sony forums discussing a PS3 exclusive game. A white swan cannot hide amongst black swans and we all know Sony only released a white console in Japan for a limited time.

#2. Most browsers come equiped with a page search feature. You can identify if there are Xbox 360 fanboys in the thread by typing certain words such as 'metacritic' into the search bar. This is an important giveaway as we all know how in love 360 fanboys are with that site.

#3. Xbox 360 fanboys use the term 'PS3' alongside other words which PS3 fans don't tend to use for their console. So if you see 'PS3' strung up alongside such words as 'sucks, losing, failure, etc' chances are that even if the other giveaways are not manifest you indeed have an Xbox 360 fanboy in your midst.

#4. Only Xbox 360 fanboys like Halo and GoW, if you see someone who isn't calling them overhyped pieces of crap or worse yet, defending those pieces of crap you probably could consider them to be Xbox 360 fanboys. Reasonable Xbox 360 fans understand how terrible those games are next to Genji: Days of the blade and Dark Kingdom.

#5. Only Xbox 360 fanboys crow about the successes of third parties. This is because there aren't exactly any stellar first party games to actually crow about now that Bungie are technically 2nd party alongside Gears of War. Sony and Nintendo fans have a healthy appreciation for their favourite console manufacturers games, Xbox 360 fanboys have little to appreciate.

#6. Xbox 360 fanboys don't like to talk about how good Xbox 360 games are, so when they say they don't overhype games its true. They spend most of their time talking about how bad they think PS3 games are instead.

Ok, I did my best... You like?

 

Xbox fanboys like God of War? I learn something new every day :p

MGS4 is a boring movie (except when it has a chance of going multi).

 

 This bit in particular made me lol for some reason. Great read!

In this point you have made both a valid observation of general fanboyism, and displayed fanboyism yourself.

The valid observation was that a fan of almost any system claiming it has a better library than the PS2 is a fanboy.

The fanboyism of your own was implying that the Xbox 360, which has the largest variety of quality games of all current generation consoles, lacks diversity.

LoL ! You just proved the op.

OT nice XD i was hoping for this after the other thread. You hit the mark pretty well.

@dgc1808

wow. Pwnage. In america, it outsold both worldwide and that being without bundles :p

Hint for the future.

You know you're reaching when you have to cherry pick.

I didn't need to. I simply highlighted the most important. If i'd crossed out  the rest, then you could talk. :p

You placed emphasis where I didnt intend too.  In doing so, you modified the content.

Perhaps you're the Xbox 360 fanboy, as in highlighting, you're channeling your own opinion...

lol I did highlight things. Only to make it more obvious at what part i figured you showed double standards.

And I hope you aren't being serious with the last sentence Otherwise I could use this post in the future when you highlight anything positive regarding the ps3 you wish to shoot down. Something you do regularly i might add.

I highlight facts in order to discredit them.

You attempted to remove comments I made from their native context and in doing so changed the meaning for your own false purposes.

 

No i highlighted the important part. If people can't read between the bolded text they have a serious issue. My comment was regarding the whole sentence. If i would have attempted to remove or alter your comment i can now share with you, that i could do a much better job in many other ways.. Dududum !

I just got back from this thread and have determined the OP of this thread to be a PS3 fanboy.

http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=68874

Only 5 and 8 apply to me.

Two out of ten isn't bad.

I accept that not everyone will find this funny by the way, I just find it odd that the same people saying Xbot's thread was awesome are saying that this is stupid and makes no sense.

Come on, how many PS3 fanboys have you seen who number 4 on that list apply to? Five, on this whole site?
