As I'm sure most of you remember, earlier this week the Playstation 3 suffered a little accident. At the time, people were understandably upset. You also might remember that a lot of the 360 fanboys were having a field day, claiming that this incident was the equivalent of the RROD. The internet was an obnoxious place (well, moreso than usual) for most of this week.
One guy, a diehard PS3 owner and huge fan of the system, decided to post a relatively rational video on YouTube talking about how upset he was with the situation and how he hoped Sony would fix it soon. Unsurprisingly, this didn't go over well with anyone.
Hit the jump.
If you weren't one of the people who were affected by this glitch, you might not appreciate the gravity of the situation. Allow this guy to explain exactly what was happening with people's non-slim PS3s.
you can loss your dater fuck
Now that you all realize just how serious this was, we can see how people handled it. First, we get a wild conspiracy theory:
heh, I think I know what sony is thinking, they do that on purpose so people wouldn't buy the fat anymore and make people hate it so no1 would complain once they stop making the fat ps3s' that is it, i think. businessmen do anything.
There are also people who think that Sony owes them a lot of money/services to fix this. One guy suggests that Sony should give everyone 75% off on all games. Others don't have anything specific in mind, they just think Sony should give them something.
I agree man this is bullshit we shouldn't have to worry about losing all this stuff like trophies memory etc. I also paid an arm and a fucking leg for my ps3 and i got home from a hard day at school and wanna game mw2 online...this is a fucking load of shit fuck you sony re-emburse us
Most of the comments though, were 360 fans coming in to bash the PS3. It starts with simple non-substantial insults.
haha i hope your ps3 stays broken faggot!
Delightful. Then we get into some more technical arguments. As I mentioned earlier, there are a lot of equations to the RROD going on.
Fanboy 1:
And this is why you should get an Xbox.
Fanboy 2:
and after 3 red rings of death on 3 different x boxes... I'll take my chances with the ps3.
Fanboy 3:
what r u talking about??? i do own a 360, but with LIVE we don't have issues like these... once i had a problem with my 360's disk trey and two weeks after i sent in my 360 to get it fixed, i got a brand new Elite X360 in the mail with a note from Microsoft apologizing for inconveniencing me... now that was good customer service... lets see how Sony deals with this problem...
Fanboy 4:
yet you forget the costs of a fucking Xbox...you pay for the system, controller battery packs, new batteries, wireless connector, live, must I say more???
Fanboy 5:
exactally....XBox is a waste of money...lol hahahha we should make a collaborative video about how come the XBox sucks, if you wanna do that feel free to :D
Speaking of RRODs, if you're going to bring it up, it makes you look slightly less stupid if you can actually spell RROD right.
Fanboy 1:
everyone switch to xbox 360 SONY=FAIL
Fanboy 2:
fuck u xbox fan boy with your rrof ha ha rrof
Fanboy 3:
its rrod dude learn to spell or go to school
With all the PS3 bashing going on, you can't expect there not to be counter-arguments.
Fanboy 1:
dude i feel u bro. im with u.. i cant even use my game disks. now that suks!! im fukin going Crazy just like u. i bought heavy rain too. & yes that suks. because we cant play it! im maken a video about we all go on strike. this 24 hr thing... Yes i agree XBOX SUKS. I CAN DO A FUKN 360 DUNK ON THOSE FAG NUBS!! FUK U XBOX. Yo hit me up on psn.
Fanboy 2:
lol, and what ACTUALLY fun games do you have for your ps3? all the ps3 is about is graphics, no fun games.
Fanboy 3:
lol you fail at the simple fact the ps3 is not all about graphics if you are a 360 fantard just fuck off you are not welcome here you closed minded little faggot
Fanboy 4:
lol true mad halo fuck that peace of shit 360
You also can't expect there not to be some mention of Heavy Rain or Modern Warfare 2. I still don't understand the MW2 stuff, since it's a multi-platform game..
Fanboy 1:
Heavy Rain is so fuking borring da fuck is the action at.
Fanboy 2:
stop playing mw2 and get a sense of what a real game is, faget
Here, we see the classic "I know I brought this up in the first place, but now that someone's challenged me I'm going to tell them to stop caring so much. WHAT A NERD!" move.
Fanboy 1:
HAHAHAHA ps3 fails
Fanboy 2:
that means 360 fails harder i realy liked the 2 week XBL downtime that was real fun ;)
Fanboy 1:
i dont remember that sorry i guess i dont really care as much as you peeps
What's funny about this exchange is the guy claiming the other dude is in a "cult of denial", because the PSN crash obviously didn't affect any single player games.
Fanboy 1:
no1 should make fun of any system after this bullshit. i own both. make fun of RROD all u want. ill just look at this bull thats happenin with PS3. and if they fix it tomorrow so be it, it still happened.
Fanboy 2:
ya right, the complete dead of a console is on the same level as a temporary incpacity to connect trhough the online service for 24 hours, what a joke
Fanboy 3:
dude, thats not the case... my Phat PS3 froze when i tried to play Uncharted2 or MW2.. so problem is more then just connecting to an online service
Fanboy 2:
Alright, we will trust you Magneto even you were bashing the PS3 with complete bullshit, what a joke. If it's a PSN problem, it won't affect your Single Player experience because there is no needs to be online for this purpose except the update that have already been made a long time ago. Try harder you're a joke, fuckin' cult of denial
Fanboy 3:
no man, i think you're the joke.. you're just mad cuz u didn't think this problem was possible on the PS3....
Fanboy 2:
You're a joke cause you think to know what I'm thinking, and this is a big joke. You were bashing me ? Yeah right, bashing someone that use truth and facts only that can put the opinions on the side like you can't do. You're such in denial
While I don't think I would ever take it as far as most of the people in this thread, I DO think people have a right to be upset when their game console randomly stops working for no reason. One fanboy, though, thinks it's totally unreasonable to be upset at Sony in even the slightest.
One day without your games? Stop fucking crying, you dumbass!! Do you cry when there is construction in your neighborhood and there may be a detour, too? Shit happens. Read a fucking book!!! Go outside for a walk!!! And if Sony knew, they would have said something or fixed it with an update. You in your little fucking hole judging a multibillion dollar company? Whatever, loser
Finally, i want to leave you with this totally garbled mess. I have no idea what's going on here, nor am I going to spend the effort to try to decipher what this idiot is saying.
how is slim shit you faggot shut your mouth now u sily twat you can smell the shit from your mouth through my screen xbox bashers this is a error thats been fixed, you hearing news like this about the ps3 is like a prozy getin her next client dripin wet over easy earnt cash, shut the fuk up you xbox fukin fags you dnt knw shit ur console has RROD! STILL! the console is fukin shit, ps3 has a slight error and u all get hard on over it, your all bunch of dickless pricks who teabags your own xbox
That's all for this week. Do you think you can guess what next week is going to be about? (Hint: 720 vs. 576)

Because the internet brings out the worst in humanity.
Red Ring of Fail?
The best are the political videos. THE BEST!
Next week is gonna be a bloodbath.
...
Leader: Where the hell is everyone?
Underboss: I told them that the date had been changed to today, but they all got mad and said I was full of shit.
Leader: Yeah like fuck that happened.
I've browsed a few reviews of FFXIII and comparisons of the cutscenes of the two versions, and the tsunami of fanboyism is already well underway. It's quite frightening.
You're my favorite.
That would be just, wonderful.
I love you too, honey.
A lot of people don't belong in this hobby. The consoles are like the "Slums" of this hobby. It lets the poor folk in and makes them think they belong here...that they have a place.
They don't.
PC Gaming is for men with real jobs, real incomes, and real knowledge.
Consoles are for french fry cookers and burger flippers that don't get any tail and pay for things in crumpled up bills stashed in their sock.
God I needed to say that.
As for me, I own a gaming rig and a 60g Fat PS3, this didn't have any affect at all on me. Why? Cause when I wake up in the morning, I rarely just sit down in front of my console for gaming.
Coffee > News > Everything else, in the morning. Saw an article on the issue early, so I played Call of Pripyat in lieu of cracking out on PS3.
Also a bit odd that even in a thread about the unending stupidity of Fanboy's the elitist third point in this pathetic love/hate triangle had to stop by to prove that to a Fanboy, no matter how intelligent they think they are, irony is still a foreign concept.
But eventually you strike gold and it's all worth it.
HOLY FUCK FFXIII IS COMING OUT!
Yes.
Pretty much the best line ever.
"sony and microsoft fanboys should put aside their differences so they can hate on nintendo together."
Well done, sir. Well done.
@Handy
"I love how that guy wanted to be reimbursed for his free online not working."
It wasn't just free online though. Offline games like Heavy Rain, Bioshock 2, and Dante's Inferno wouldn't even work. It sucked and it was B.S. But still... Sony doesn't owe us anything. Free stuff would be a smart move though.
Next week will be fun, though you'd hope for the sake of the human race that the idiots would be playing whichever modern war game instead of shitting all over the internet.
He probably felt Sony owed him something because of all the white-knighting he does for them gratis.
Oh the irony!
I signed up, but they keep saying I didn't.
you post is elitist trash all i could gather from your nonsense is that people with more money are superior this is total bullshit and here are a few sad facts for you
modern warfare sold over 170,000 units on pc
versus
4.1 million illegal downloads
99% of pc gamers are pirates probably under age as well that have a huge sense of self entitlement and believe they have a right to steal these games, but in the end what this all amounts to is a very immature community of thiefs or as you would call it REAL MEN, bullshit
The game's multiplat. In fact, of all my friends, the one who plays it the most is the one who has it on PS3. So..uh ok.
Good stuff. FFXIII next week will be fantastic. First with review scores, second because the 360 version looks a hell of a lot worse.
Also, Enoisser came in and gave us supplementary reading for this week's fanboy extravaganza. Thanks, dude.
You know, you're right! I don't think I've ever walked through a poor neighborhood without some hooligan offering me a PS3 for...
Jesus, I can't do it. Making fun of your point by sarcastically pointing out the absurdity of it would be easier if it wasn't the sort of point that an insane rich person makes right before he drinks a bunch of Mommy's scotch, kills a hobo, and hangs himself by said hobo's entrails because Daddy said he couldn't borrow the golf cart this week. Or something.
I hope your PC spontaneously combusts and makes you sterile, and I hope any happiness you find in this world is transient at best, because based on that post, you are a bad person and deserve to suffer.
Hugs and kisses,
Fford
That is all.
PS3 does weird error code: wait it out like a bitch because your ps3 is just "pretending" to be broken.
Well of course it is. We all know how games like World of Warcraft and Second Life can improve one's real world social skills. That's why men of distinction engage in such activities. It's how they assert their alpha male superiority over the ignorant and uneducated masses.
Also, you ever try Scientology? I hear winners like that too. Not that I would know, of course. I'm just a lowly 360 player.
Now, my good man, if you'll excuse me I have a cardboard shack to get back to. It's not like this crack pipe is gonna smoke itself!
<3
'Like fuck that happened!'
Fucking hilarious.
Somebody do something sexually pleasurable to you. You've earned it.
