Do you think the Console war is useless?

its basically a bragging rights war saying "my console/corporation is better then yours".

how you managed to sum up in 1 sentance what took some people a paragraph i will never know.

I like debating, especially with the ones who eventually resort to petty insults because then you know you've won.

Well, there's two things you need to understand about that.

1. PS3 fanboys unjustly insult and are full of racism and hate.

2. PS3 fanboys deserve to be insulted and live a life being hated.

agreed on that

it's useless because this doesn't affect the real world, because in the real world ps3 is dead last, and the 360 is in second place

The Console War is funny to watch and be a part of. Its for the entertainment of the person in it I think. Im never serious when defending my console (360) on the internet. After the argument I just LMAO.

Yes.

The console war is pathetic, and useless. It's full of people amateur trolls just trying to justify their purchases. To you guys: You don't need to prove that Xbox 360 is the best, mainly because it's an opinion. PS3 has many great games, Demon's Souls, God of War, LBP, Killzone 2, etc. Xbox has its' share of good games as well, and even the Wii does.

No. PS3 fantards need to be punished for their stupidity. The ongoing last placeness of their console is punishing their brains so hard most of them have lost touch with reality. Hopefully if this persists they will start dieing off.

I dream of a future free of PS3 fantards.

That is why the console ware isn't useless.

Just ignore them. They try to ruin your fun. I recently encountered a fanboy on youtube. He went by "purewolfdog" or something. I replied to him once and he gave me an essay about how he thinks I'm a moron. I just ignored him and blocked him. Sadest part is that he made 2-3 new accounts. Lmao, it was fun blocking them all.

If you ignore them, they feel like they are wasting their time. So they go apeshit crazy. It's the ultimate way to piss a fanboy off.

Well said.

I think the console war is very childish. It's just weird to me that people watch videos of others who they hate. And then make videos to try to piss that person off. It's like me watching Fox News. They piss me off, so I don't pay them a bit of attention.

If you think the console war is so "childish" why'd you post in the Console War section of a forum founded on the purpose defending it's side in said war?

And about Fox News. It's no more bias then CNN and MSNBC. The only difference is CNN leans to the left, MSNBC socks liberal pole, and Fox leans slightly to the right.

Slightly to the right? lol...thats an understatement. All they do is bash Obama day in and day out. Nothing ever positive. I only watch BBC world news america. I cant stand bias news.

And I dont mind posting in the console wars. But Im not going to watch vids of people who bash the 360.

Yeah slightly to the right. There are only two commentators who really don't like Obama, and the same can be said about CNN's commentators when Bush was in office. MSNBC's commentators are the most bias in my opinion.

But that's the commentators, not the news. All day long all three channels run news and the only channel that lets it's bias ruin the news is MSNBC. Fox and CNN present the news straight. BBC World News is ok, but if you think they don't have a bias you're kidding yourself.

I think, more then likely, you lean left and therefor dislike Fox for running conservative commentary shows. If you really didn't like bias, left or right, you'd complain about the other networks as well.

I'm a moderate and I can tell you Fox does not "bash" Obama all day long. However I'd even go as far as saying MSNBC is flat out in the tank for the President and that's probably worse. A president should be scrutinized, if the media doesn't question the President's motives and actions then we might as well call him King.

MSNBC is just as bad, if not worse, then Fox. I cant stand either one. But I think BBC is about as unbias as you can get. Im actually a libertarian...which is closer to republican then democrat

I agree that MSNBC is terrible, but I really don't think Fox is all that bias. Take Bill O'Reilly for example. Most people I know that hate him never watch him. They base their opinion of him on the distortion and parody of him on The Daily Show and Colbert Report, which they forget is satire. O'Reilly is definitely conservative, but he brings on people with opinions of all types and is really just a watch dog. He gives his opinion of the news, which is his job as a commentator, but he is not in the tank for the Republican Party.

But that's the commentary side of Fox News. Most of the day is devoted to a 24 hour news cycle just like CNN, but unlike MSNBC, Fox doesn't present the news through a bias lens. If you want opinion you can watch the channel's varied personalities. If you want news you can avoid the opinion and stick to the straight news.

As for BBC America World News. All I've ever seen is straight up news coverage. I'm sure the really network broadcast 24/7 in the UK has commentary shows, each with their own bias.

BTW, if there's one show on Fox news I can recommend to everyone, if they care about current events, it's Red Eye. 12 Midnight on weeknights. It's a comedy opinion show with no measurable bias. The guest panel is always stocked with comedians and they basically make fun of the news.

at first it was a bit of a joke and some fun, but now its getting all personal and serious.

Epic bump. I've been losing a lot of time in this console war. This one time, I was just gonna browse through Cracked.com for a while but instead I argued with a Ps3 fanboy for a whole fucking hour. I've been trying to avoid console war arguments for a while because I waste a lot of my time arguing on the internet.

console war is always the same arguements repeated over and over again. waste of time imo.

I must admit it's funny reading some of the arguments, people will go to no ends to prove their console is better. Even worst some people eat, breathe, and sleep these console wars and if you show them some moral reasoning they will either call you a fanboy or say you're trolling.

But either way, it's a great laugh.

i hate it personally, its designed to manipulate kids/less knowledgeable people all over something that is meant to be enjoyed and this last couple of years its spread big time..twitter/facebook/youtube. i enjoy a good social life but i love gaming, so i usually pick up two consoles per generation and try and fit in some time for both, usually when i have a hangover or a free night away from it all. sure i prefer xbox over ps3 but i still think the playstation 3 is a good console.

i dont like these fanboys, their attitudes stink and all seem to be weirdos, sorry if anyone takes offence here but I feel it needs to be said, if your going to take a snotty shitfaced attitude towards me in person over a games console i'm going to give you a smack in the mouth, you deserve it because if you're an absolute prick over entertainment equipment imagine what you are like over something that is really important?

Some people really "live" this console war, it's a little scary.

true story

i used to work for a web design company, i picked up a 360 on launch day on my lunch break and brought it back to work. this ugly rodent looking motherfucker called wayne used to work for sony as a q/a tester and then came to work here, he was sony mad. he even used to take a big shit on the pc gaming crew for having
"shitty online that doesnt really matter now" anyway he basically emptied the bin full of nearly empty drink cans etc into the bag where the 360 was so juice was all over the box, dripping into the gaps. i came back from my toilet break and people were giggling, i was paranoid and looked at the bag, it was a disgrace and this wayne guy laughed "shouldnt of bought such a shit piece box should you" in my younger-younger days i had a bit of a temper so i grabbed him by the throat and slammed his head into the desk. i got a two week suspension and lucky not to have lost my job. he just got on my nerves when he shouldnt have, a creepy looking prick who went on and on everyday to people who didnt just have a ps2 but other systems how they were stupid and how sony rules. i hated him at the time and felt embarrassed for doing so, you would just had to have been there to experience the attitude of this cretin.

oh and my 360 was alright...for three years

That guy is pretty disgusting, he should've been let off. But it's great that your 360 didn't get destroyed, but I would've acted like it did.

F*cking hell, seriously? That guy's a dick! I would've acted the same way as you...only I don't think I would let him live after that
