Forums - Website Topics - Advertise systems in sigs...what compels people to do so?

Why shouldn't we promote the things we like? We want people to enjoy the things we like. If that means participating in word of mouth marketing, then so be it.

Maybe it's only the ps3 fans on this site because we are passionate about our gaming and a 300$ PS3 is one of the biggest advancements for gaming this year beside game announcements.

There is no difference showing a game announcement, or a console's advertisement.

Shoot, I love my Jeep Commander, but I don't put a pic of it in my sig.

Seriously, I just ROTFL when I see a PS3 'It does everything' in a sig. I shake my head. I can just imagine that person talking to a girl - hey, wanna swing by MY PAD and play some Little Big Planet, Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2 with me? Yeah, I got a slick PS3, baby. You need to check it out.'

The only console I'd consider putting into my sig is the Wii. I have yet to see a system get women excited to talk about it. Give a hot soccer mom a compliment, she may say thanks. Talk into your Bluetooth about a Wii and she'll stop you and talk your head off. Trust me - it's one of the new ways to break the ice with the ladies now.

Some fans are way more devoted to their console than other owners are. That's their opinion.

And J, we ARE on a gaming site, so ...

That's awful, lol... as if the PSP Go's price is its selling point

Or, you already knew this, and I'm just pointing out the obvious...

M$ pays me

Ms pays to advertise PS3 and Wii?!?! 0_o

they moneyhat everyone, also the X360 being able to survive the crushing weight of a PS3 is pretty impressive




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I agree with the J man that there is a difference between showing commercials/pricetags in your sig as opposed to something you just like. Both are however forms of advertising.

As for me, I'm hopefully getting some attention towards some good games

....... you really dont know what this thread is about dont you.....



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

I don't understand it either. I see way too many commercials as it is. Having one of those would be almost as silly as having a badge for every system that you own.

Because I like what I am doing. Unfortunately my sig is getting a bit old. Last graphical screenshot I took was about a man naked in the forest. He also had axe, which he could use to chop down trees, but no clothes. :D

 

Oh and for the topic... Maybe people just like those products or maybe they are just trying to justify what they have bought or are going to buy whatever it is they are advertising. If you ask me, its kind of sad. They are helping some big commercial companies that are trying to do anything to rob them blind withing the limitations of law.



They do it solely to annoy you. Which is, of course, why everyone does everything.
