In news so bizarre it just couldn't have been falsified, a new PS3 survey is asking some very personal questions indeed. Sony wants to know about your dating habits, and how they are affected by the PlayStation 3. I don't even know where to begin with this.
The survey asks "What are your dating rules around the PS3?" as if the black box o' Blu-ray somehow dictates who you can have sex with (although I'm guessing a number of N4G users will ask their PlayStations for permission first). The provided answers (seen above) are hilarious.
Sony also wants to know if you've canceled a date or missed a party because you were too busy gaming. Even better, an entire section asks you to choose between videogames and various important aspects of life -- choosing between games and your career, your TV (how would you play!?) and even your family! Yes, Sony wants to know if videogames are more important to you than your family.
This is pretty much the most entertaining thing Sony has ever done. Just release this survey as a PS3 game and it'll win the console wars!

I will admit that if the girl in question wants to throw down some Street Fighter occasionally, it's a bonus, but not make or break.
Obviously he has the console with all the slots >_>
I kid, I kid (kinda)
Every single night, i have to take the tough decision of "go to bed now, maybe get lucky with Mrs SC, or just stay up playing MAG" - It pisses me off if I go up to bed, but mrs SC isn't into it, I'm like "For fuck's sake, I could have played a good few hours more MAG!"
i don't really "date" anymore (having a family will do that), but it would be hard to say the PS3 doesn't affect my love life, it's a careful balance of playing as much PS3 as I can get away with and not letting mrs SC feel neglected.
Luckily baby boy is happy enough to sit and watch me play MAG. Mrs SC - not so much, but that's what she has books, or "Jewels" on her phone for.
Also, I have seen the face of the new world order. Disturbing as always, but at least it's more entertaining than its predecessors...
The link is just the source article, which also doesn't link to the survey?
It's probably one of those that needs to invite you to take part.
Thats funny cause nobody with a ps3 has any game.
Totaly bra, all us playa's are on teh xbox for sho. I mean, i ain't got's no moneys to spand on teh psSHIT haha. Itz funy cuz it's ture! High 5 bro! Any way bro, gld to c u on my side, not teh pusyy psSHIT side HAA, rit on bro!
i LOL'd.
People who have to proclaim (on the Internet of all places) that they have a life are fucking morons.
Carrying on, this is obviously Sony getting ready to rake in the millions with a new Match.com application. Have you seen those commercials? They're so happy and beautiful!
Poor sony and its retarded surveys. If only they spent as much time on actual game contracts/incentives as they do on stupid surveys, and aggressively annoying black children, and penis thumbs.
only problem is that 9/10 times you're going to wind up with a 13 year old that you really don't like.
You have a lot of rage against the PS3. It's a little bizarre. Maybe it's people like you, with such a disturbed emotional connection to gaming, that they're trying to weed out? Just try to work through it, dude. We're all on your side.
I OWN a PS3. Its that ownership and familiarity with the console that let's me judge the manufacturer. Like Jim Sterling. Whom I adore. <3
Maytag, Kenmore, Fridgidare, Sony.....I lold
However there is no entry for this on the survey.
Even if this happened to me and a girl I was dating introduced me to her PS3 I would probably have to think it three times over before headin' for the hills(hey I'm a desperate man).
Maybe Sony's doing this survey to see if they should put a twat on the bottom of the PS3.
In that context, it makes all of your anger toward an appliance seem even weirder. As for Sterling, I still think Sony pissed on his cat. That's the one thing that would both explain and justify his transformation into the hulk at the very mention of Sony.
It's ridiculous I tells ya. If I want to ignore my wife, and forget to feed my dog for a few rounds of Ratchet and Clank that's my business damn it.
As someone who knows Rammstein pretty damn well I can assure you you're waaaay off base.
People who feel the need to brag are usually hiding massive insecurities and/or inadequacies. People who feel the need to brag in online forums are usually not only hiding massive insecurities and/or inadequacies, but they're doing it online because they can say whatever they want without direct proof otherwise. This leads most normal people to assume that someone who is bragging online is pathetic by default, and probably a liar. Now, I'm not calling you either one of those things, I'm just mapping out the usual thought process in these situations. Just something you might want to remember for the future.
Aw, did I hurt your feelings? Now you have to turn to baseless assumptions to insult me?
C'mon bro. Let's at least try.
You're on the Internet, claiming that your social life is a "success" on a random fucking videogame blog which is just juvenile and pathetic (you do know what juvenile means I hope), you claim people who comment on this site have no life while you not only comment but check back to reply to comments, and apparently you can't pull out quick enough which I actually thought was a rather comical and random little factoid.
No, I'm not too jealous of you right now. I'm actually kind of sad for you because I know people can stupid enough that you might actually exist.
Cant be many permutaions of 1251 left now, maybe once it runs out it will explode?
Also, anyone who STILL thinks Jim Sterling is a Sony hater just has to look at some of things he has written about MS and Kinect recently. 'kin harsh words right there.
When it seems like the hole you are in is getting deeper, STOP DIGGING.
If you're not enjoying yourself here please FUCK OFF. Please don't bother replying as I don't give a rats ass about what you think.
Get over yourself, kid, and get some self-esteem for those issues you got.
It's better than that shovel you keep using.
I'm pretty sure your week-and-a-half year old daughter would be better fathered if you laid her down in the middle of a highway.
That's just fucking wrong. Evidently, the forums really do have a better class of people...
First things first- Congrats on your new daughter! I hope she grows up well and I hope you and the Mrs. are up to the challenge when it comes to raising her. It's an uphill battle from here but I'm sure you guys can rough it out.
Secondly though, do you always have to be so hostile? I mean sure, I guess you could get away with just being 'brutally honest', but do you have to be THAT brutal? Not to mention so eager to attack somebody when they say something contradictory to what your opinion is? It's not really flattering to yourself, and it's probably the reason you get banned so often too. Just saying.
Christ, you people are simple.
Obviously, my comment wasn't meant to be cute. I find twelve51 to be a contemptible twit irreproachable by logic.
