in the last two weeks i've had three people coming to me saying "my friends say the ps3 is OMG SO MUCH better than the xbox 360. i mean, what gives?
i think they see the price diff and they figure it absolutely has to be better. a simple google search should shhut them up quickly though.
but it still irritates the heck out of me
 
Its a typical reaction in most places... and Sony are banking on it....

If its more expensive it HAS to be better....
 
More ppl than you'd think follow the price tag as a guide to quality, especially when it comes to electroic goods.
 
Whoever has the games my man, whoever has the games. I could not care less if the console or pc looked like a little penguin dipped in honey with little turds thrown onto him from the passersby. If they create games on there that excite me to be a part of it, blow me away with the experience then they have me. However if they want to shove a "lifestyle" down my throat like PS3 or Apple, then I am not into it. Sell me the experience not the hardware, it’s like my current graphics card, I have a 640mb 8800 GTS, I bought it because there was nothing that could compete with it from another camp, ATI brought out a hot monster that would have me having to replace my power supply. But do not let Nvidia think for one second I won’t jump ship the moment there is something better out there that competes and wins over their current line when I happen to want to upgrade and they can kiss my little white bum bye bye till the following year. I spent the money on the experience and I do not have to defend it, why is it that people think defending a giant like Sony or Microsoft is something they need to do. You are a number to them, revenue, they could not care less whether you fought for them or not as long as you hand over your hard earned money for massively expensive titles which for the most part are polished but have very little to offer the gamer who actually played games before there was a playstation.
 
It could be all those press reports about the power of the cell processor...

Some articles compared it to a "supercomputer".

Yeah and I can't remember the last time I enjoyed playing games on my companies super computers ;)

The PS3 is a very good machine and Sony are banking a lot on people buying it due to its reputation. The delay of GTA IV has really hurt them though and unless they announce some really good titles in the coming months they really are looking down the wrong end of a barrel
 
Most of these people probably owned a PS2 and that might be reason why they think the PS3 is superior. And as mentioned, pricing and branding says a lot as well. Credit goes to Sony for generating a brand like this but the PS3 is really pulling it down. Also had friends who say I'd rather get a PS3 meanwhile they know stuffall about the XBOX360 or even the PS3.
 
It's all the hype and lies, it drives me mad.

"Sony says its the greatest thing since sliced cheese so it must be!"

How hard is it to do a simple google search?
 
I have an idea, lets change this site from mybroadband to
XBOXfansandps3haters.co.za. You guys constantly bitch and whine about the ps3. Jealousy makes you nasty.

Now I am gonna hide under my desk.

Que variuos hate male now
 
lol, we don't hate the PS3... we even help PS3 owners out with any queries they may have.

We do however have the ability to see a stupid review when it is posted ;)

It's just a console.... BTW X360 pwns PS3 :D

/runs away
 
All I'm saying is that it is extremely rare to see any positive response to anything PS3 related, I know you often help PS3 owners, and I personally have recieved great help form the users of this site. However the help usually ends with some snide remark. Cant we just accept personal prefrence? If someone says they prefer PS3 over Xbox then that does not qualify them as a FANBOY or stupid or mad, it merely shows that they have made a positive decision about their gaming prefrence.

Cant we all just get along? :)
 
And here we find ourselves on a forum and website born out of dislike for the biggest monopoly in the country supporting the biggest convicted monopoly in the world. From crappy OS's to crappier consumer goods - nothing will change.
