Power Buttons are Universal, NOT 360 exclusive
BlindsideDork | 6:56 AM on 12.05.2008 16 comments


Seriously, have people suddenly overnight forgotten the fact that the Power button is a universal thing?! If you see a power button, it should make you think POWER or ON. If it doesn't, there is an answer for that: FANBOY

Yeah, I said it. Stupid fanboy, console war, looking to prove that one console is better than the other. Guess what, they ALL suck as I detailed on why I hate each console. Some others are looking to just "prove" they are right. I am sorry but it is going to have to take a little more than a stupid, colored power button to prove it. Cause that is all it is!

Don't believe me about the power buttons? Look at this..


Xbox 360 Power Button:




Stock Power Buttons:





Looks like MS is not the only company that has a green-lit power button. Oh no, the world is going to end!

Honestly, I don't care if the game comes out on the 360 cause I have already played it on the PS3 where it was meant to be played. If you haven't played it, go to a friend's house and play it or buy a PS3. I mean you can always buy it at Walmart so it isn't calculated in the "total PS3 sales" chart and then you can complain when you "claim" the disc drive died cause it is an inferior system or whatever.

So who cares if it comes on the other system, unless you just NEED to be right. I am more annoyed with the idiots/fanboys online flocking to this like it is salvation or vindication over a power button image. Makes me laugh, laugh with sorrow with these people.

You do care.

You wouldn't be wasting your time with this post if you didn't care.

Spittenvenom i leiked ur last blog post it wasn't moronic either:


This morning I returned from an epic LAN party. Games covered were the usual, Call of Duty 4, Gears of War, Halo 3, Rock Band, and oddly enough this time, GTA IV. Though it isn't lannable, we spent a lot of the night trying to figure out the mysterious swing set glitch, we were only able to try it in single player, in which it only occasionally worked, often just sending us flying out of the car. I searched around after waking up today and discovered that it generally doesn't work that well unless done in multi-player free play, but until then any tips would be greatly appreciated.

"Sure, the image is in neon green, which instantly brings the Xbox 360’s ring of light to mind ... but if you think about it, that symbol is recognized worldwide as a power or on/off sign (after all, the PS3’s power button looks like this)."

Quick dumb post is quick dumb post.

At least all those MGS fanboys that have been wanting to use their iPhone to play Ac!d will be happy.

GuitarAtomik's Destructoid Blog
I don't know man. The fact that this blog exists makes me think you're being a bit hypocritical. I don't think people coming to the conclusion of the teaser meaning a 360 port (which honestly I don't agree with) automatically means they're fanboys. It just means they want to play it on 360 because maybe they don't have a PS3, or a friend with a PS3 (and seriously, who would want to play a game like that at a friend's place?).

I know I know "Then they should get a PS3" but this would be the cheaper alternative. So I don't see how hoping for a cheaper alternative equates fanboyism.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Cheaper yeah but I know a Sony fanboy that let his 360 friend borrow his PS3 so he could play MGS4. No one lets people borrow stuff anymore?
GuitarAtomik's Destructoid Blog
I wouldn't let anyone borrow my 360 hahaha. But seriously, I don't have ANY local friends that own a PS3.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Well I don't know anyone who has an Atari Lynx!
Redzie's Destructoid Blog
The PS1 had the same logo too. MGS4 ON PS1 CONFIRMED!!!
tsunamikitsune's Destructoid Blog
I just want to play MGS4 on a system I own. I genuinely have no interest in the PS3 as far as games go (Little Big Planet aside), but I am fairly interested in playing the latest MGS game. Borrowing my friend's PS3 or going over to his place for hours to play doesn't really cut it for me because he plays it a lot and it's too inconvenient for both of us.

As far as the three consoles go, the 360 is the only one that has the GREEN power symbol, so it's a logical conclusion to jump to. There are PCs that have the green light as you pictured, but unless this means MGS4 is coming out for PC, I don't think it's unreasonable to think that this MIGHT mean MGS4 for 360. MIGHT. It's not definite evidence that proves anything, but it leads to a solid guess.

It may not even be MGS4 and it could be some other MGS spin-off, but as far as I can guess, it'll probably involve the 360.
