'Fanboy' is not a word I like to just throw around like water, idly affixing the label to everyone I meet. Online, the term fanboy, very much like emo, has become far too easily applied to people who truly don't deserve to be deemed as such. Rather, I feel the term should only be applied to people who fit a certain criteria, with the most tell-tale signs being pure ignorance, obvious insecurity and above all, abject stupidity. If you want a catch-all example of just what it should take to be called a fanboy, simply watch the video above, because the utter moron who made it is like every single fanboy merged into one like the big Critter at the end of Critters 2.
Uploaded by Luxor Studios, a name made funnier by the fact that this has to be a twelve year old kid with emotional issues, we're told in the comments, "This Video was up on Seanluxor. Some stuf Xbox 360 360 fanbaws cant admit." Firstly, I don't know what, exactly, a 'fanbaw' is, but looking at other videos uploaded by Luxor, I see he also thinks the word 'trustible' is in the English language and not part of the bizzare Jupiter dialect that clearly flows from his mouth like a most chunky vomit.
As for the video itself, well, Jim is pressed as to where Jim can begin. One of the very first questions in the video is "Was PS3 Sale a flap?" Yes ... a flap. He asks if 'Sale' was a 'flap'. He also tells us that PS3 did 'beter' than Xbox 360 and Wii and that Blu-ray 'maby' more expensive than DVD. Of course, I won't spoil the fun of pointing out all the hilarious spelling errors for yourself. Collect the set, like bike reflectors in boxes of cereal.
Otherwise, this video has to be one of the most pathetic, desperate, self-reassuring pieces of toad semen I've ever had the mispleasure of sitting down to watch. At over five minutes, you can tell this child really wants to convince himself that the PlayStation 3 is the greatest console ever made. Really, who gives a crap that some people are daring to say bad things about your favorite toy? If you're confident of its superiority, you shut the hell up, accept its faults, smile at its successes and go back to enjoying it. Defending a piece of plastic and wires to such a zealous degree is laughable. I've also noticed that the ones who throw the word fanboy around so casually, like this little pudstick, are often the worst examples of it.
I hate Youtube users so damn much.

Honestly, I think this particular console generation is going to be shorter-lived than usual. Microsoft started the trend by releasing Xbox 360 a year before the competition. Just like presidential elections, I expect these things are going to be coming at us a little sooner every cycle.
2. @Lord_Satorious - I really hope that console cycles don't become increasingly smaller, I really don't like spending that much money on each new iteration.
3. I was going to comment on the terrible video, but there's really no need. Pudstick says enough.
this had me rolling, Jim.
"lol my lagg ass. its pear to pear servise."
Fruit2fruit!
HALOS IS TEH BEST! SEANLUXOR IS THE SUXXOR!!! PS3 COSTS A BAJILLION DOLLARS!! AND HAS NO FRICKIN GAMES!!
Be surprised how many kids ask what: "EYE VEE", is.
Jesus.
"Sorry, did you mean to type shemale porn?"
THat proves to me that you are the biggest dumbass fanboy!
There are a lot of stupid videos on youtube!
example

Fu pS3 haters.....
Apperently, the xbox 360 is just an empty shell and a controller, and the dvd drive is not included or anything, and that the ps3 can take from 110v to 240v, just amazing
And i'm not a Sony Fanboy!
I have a 360 and Ps3.....
bitch's love da PStriple!!1
1. He shows an article saying that PS3 sales had a record high and then shows a graph of the PS3 selling less than the PS2 during its launch window.
2. PS3 dominates the market in Italy, Germany, and Spain. w00h00. These countries are a TINY percentage of the market share when compared to Japan and the US.
3. The attach rate for the PS3 is about the same as the Wii. Ok, let us do multiplication. 3.4 games per PS3 at 3 million PS3s is 10.2 million games sold. 3.6 games per Wii at 11 million Wiis is 39.6 million games sold. BIG difference.
4. Metal Gear Solid 4 IS coming to the 360.
5. blu-ray costs more? games are same price on either format, duh. You are paying for teh game, not the disc that the game happens to come on.
6. the random comment about hitting 20% of the PS3 potential. Why do none of the games for the PS3 that are coming out note even come close to looking as good as the supposed gameplay videos shown off at E3 of 2006?
7. Just to point out, the Cell Processor in the PS3 only uses 7 cores, it has an either core for redundancy just in case one of the cores stops functioning, the extra can be used. While all 8 cores can be used at once if needed, the PS3 does not take advantage of all 8 an at given time as it is built around only using 7. The PS3 has no PPU. One of the Cell's cores could be used as a PPU, but the PS3 does not use it in such a way.
8. "Look,they had to make a april full joke about PS3 console error since there are no major Problem with PS3." look past his writing ability, he doesn't get the joke. The PS3 is a George Forman grill. It is funny.
9. Xbox LIVE is $50/year, not $70
10. It is a good thing he learned how to resize images in mspaint so he could make the PS3 look barely larger than the 360.
11. He lists the Xbox 360 Elite as costing $560. It is too bad that it only costs $480
12. The Xbox DOES have a hard drive. It doesn't matter who did it first. Didn't nintendo have something on teh SNES? I know that Sega came out with a MegaDrive/Home Computer thing in Japan that had a hard disk WAY back when. It doesn't matter who did it first. Especially the home button. The HOME buttong is not a revalation from God, it is common sense.
13. The original motion controller on the PS1 was a 3rd party controller, Sony had nothing to do with it.
14. His numbers for revenue of Sony and Microsoft. These numbers mean absolutely nothing. Both Microsoft and Sony are WAY larger companies beyond video games. Sony makes TVs, stereos, mp3, computers..., it goes WAY beyond the PS3. Same goes for the 360. Overall company revenue means nothing when you are focused in on a specific area.

the chart below has a nice guide to how much consoles have cost in the past (all adjusted for inflation):

I expect a 360/Wii parody by Tuesday.
I am still waiting for firmware 1.82, that when the felatio feature gets unlocked. Me buying the PS3 had nothing to do with Felatio or Advent Children coming out on blu ray.
Buying a 600 player for a new version of a movie I already own would be insane.
I am not insane.
Really. I'm not. Where's that receipt?
I expect to see a more mature, more amazing video response to this, soon.
I love that he made the point that ps3 owners buy about as many games as wii owners... and the said that the software sales were therefore equal! and that comparison of overall profit for the companies at the end really blew me away, i mean obviously if sony(a major electical appliance maker) makes more than microsoft(a computer software company) its console is doing better... the kid is freakin genius!
that almost needs a new word, beyond fanboy... fanatic maybe?
APRIL FULLS EVERYONE!
