But you claimed that his actions were (or at any rate implied that you would whack his head).
but that's one buyer who will be going home with nothing just for the sake others amusement
Which shows your bigotry.
If he chooses to entertain himself with the PS3 by breaking it rather than playing with it, that is his business.
As for amusing, yes you numbskull, why do you think I am posting here?
For amusement obviously.
Ever heard of leisure? Oh sorry, you are a serious gamer.
I am here solely to have fun.
Go ahead. Pick holes in that argument.
Duh! That is my line! That is what I am trying to say! Gaming should be leisure, but for PS3 fanbois it is clearly much more that that. I don't go and wait in line for a movie ticket for a whole week.
Friends: Movie xyz is releasing next week! Someone should go and get tickets.
Mr P: Where's my tent? Where's my tent??????
You just destroyed your entire argument with this point. First of all, you claim I'm a fanboy, which I'm not, second, people camped days before :
1. Ps2 released
2. Xbox released
3. Gamecube released
4. DS released (In fact, a thread about it was posted in TE as well, big long lines in Japan 2 days before its release date)
5. PSP released
6. Xbox 360 released
7. For the Ps3
8. There WILL be tenters for the Wii as well, count on it.
I have an easier time understanding the analogy, because I know I wouldn't have hesitated to have joined them now, because its not crazy, its perfectly normal (if you're not sacrifising your job and wife, those 2 make an exception).

Why dont you go and protest this in from of Sony's HQ?
You are not a fanboy? Wow. Look at this statement

Any guy willing to camp out for a week for the PS3 is a fanboy.
If he isn't then the only possible definition of a fanboy is a guy who screws his console (screws as in.....).

Same for Zhops.
BTW, I want PS3 to succeed otherwise the Cell will not have enough take off. People will think it was bad, even though that will be completely untrue.
On the other hand I want Sony to go bankrupt because they make crappy products, overcharge, screw their customers (DRM in CDs.... bad one at that plus goddamned bluray) and still make massive losses.
I realise I said the previous post was supposed to be my last, but I am responding to a post made by someone other than that guy.

This is my final post here, you have contradicted yourself, which is why I see no reason in debating anymore.
No, he is not a fanboy - He's a fan, and a dedicated gamer.
You want to know what a fanboy is? The guy who will be smashing his Ps3, is probably sent in by X360/Wii fanboy base - The guy which you are trying to justify right now.
Having a sexual intercourse with a machine? You put something like this in the 'Fanboy' case? Is that how stupid you actually are?
Sony hasn't overcharged anything. Xbox 360 with hd-dvd costs 600 and even then you only end up with a 20gb hardrive, and on top of that you have got to pay for online gaming, Ps3 comes in 500 and 600, being on par or better than X360 so far, free online, discounted price in Japan, 60 GB hardrive, having the revolutionary cell and Blu-Ray. They're going in a damn lose right off the freakin' bat! Manufacturing cost of Ps3 is well above 900, a blu-ray standalone alone costs over 1k.
Proved wrong yet again, the Xbox360 with Hd-DVD is much expensive than Ps3, and besides that comes with a puny 20gb hard drive.
Kinda explains you not going after X360 fans (not fanboys) who waited for 1-2 days before the launch, and going after Ps3 buys who are waiting for a week simply because of the shortages, they can't do without such a headstart. This is ignoring the fact the Ps3 is coming with a hype much much bigger than that of X360, which would also contribute to a longer wait.
And I think that anyone who camps for a week for any of those consoles is a lunatic. Getting there early is OK, even spending the night, but a whole goddamned week? Maybe you need to watch the latest episode of South Park.
You've been wrong in simply everything so far, I contradicted myself only in your delusional world. And your analogy sucks downright pathetic when it comes to judging everything.
