Speaking of Sigs rainbird I gotta laugh out loud at you looking at all the games you are boycotting, it must be tough not knowing where to look :D

On topic, I've noticed some folks have taken the "can't beat them, join em" route and adapted the slogan for their own console, it's catchy and I guess on the long run harmless. No matter how fanboyish it is just need to ignore it I guess.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

No, but that doesn't change the fact that the message is 100% pure fanboy-ism. If you choose to have it in your sig, then that's something people will judge by

OK, fine, but what about those attaks? Must it get to that level? Is this as bad as that?


In addition: If you're changing your sig because "one alway learns," shouldn't you drop "the pricecut" and "the slim"?  Or is that meant to be ironic (in which case it's kind of harsh to bookend those non-existent elements with "the games" and "the potential"...  one thing the PS3 has ALWAYS had is potential, and it's starting to get games).

Are you sure their comments are directed at you and you alone, and not all the other over-sensitive, fanboy retards with that sig?

... well, what can I say...the console with all the games you like is really proud of you ... now.

The idea, that one should believe in a inanimated machine/toy, is delusional. The PS3 is just a console, nothing more.

The future is the long death of the universe petering out as the last bit of concentrated energy is diffused into the nothingness. The future is not the PS3, its only got a 10 year lifecycle.

i think the "believe" line can work well for some things...but definitely not a console.

Why? You doubt there will be a price cut, and a slim at some point in the future? Do you doubt those things will help?

Actually, all 3 systems are not just consoles. They are a marvel of technology and engineering. Just like cars, and planes. They are not just transport...they are the result of refining a product over the years and improving on it.

Because it's pure, concentrated fanboy-ism.

I'm a Sony supporter, and I hate it too

No it's not. Showing support for a console you own is quite different from putting down everyone else's choice which is fanboyism. I carried the logo myself for a while. i only removed it because I needed to make room for other things in my sig. The only reason I've ever been banned is sig length so i gotta be aware of this now.

Calling people delusional because of this seems more like presenting people with some sense, rather than attacking. In the thread where this was first made, I attacked it myself, but now I can't be bothered anymore. I'm not aggressive enough to keep at it, though I have full understanding for anyone wanting to get rid of that atrocius thing
