		<description>Peterfll, good comments.  It sucks that Europe has to wait.  I'm in Canada, so I'm lucky to have one pre-ordered and waiting for me on the 17th.

(I am a Sony fanboy, but I'm also a tech-geek, so I own PS2, Xbox, GC, PC, Mac). 

I take only one exception.  Your comment about Lik-sang is well received.  However, how many companies do you think Microsoft has put out of business?  If people are hating on Sony because of that, they should absolutely loathe MS.</description>

		<description>I think, right now, it's the -fan boys that are shouting the loudest, and the genuine Sony fans are actually just sitting there quietly confident.

There are a few that protest (and just get shouted down), but the majority just look at the negative fanboys (ie 360 and Wii fanboys/owners having a dig at Sony at every given opportunity) and simply shrug and laugh it off.  We actually think it's a tad sad that people have to 'hate' so much - but why?

I can only come to the conclusion that it's because they are feeling threatened... which is not surprising as Sony is such a huge player in the market and the likelihood is that it will again come out on top...

But there are a number of reasons for that, they give us excellent products, not just technically brilliant but with long life cycles along with excellent content, and that's just for starters.

Yes us Europeans are pissed off that we have to wait an extra 3 months or so, but, on balance, we know that if Sony could have done it any better they would have - why would they not? We are prospective customers after all (with a choice), and what do companies need more than anything else? ;-). Us.

What really annoys me though is that the net hooliganism is left unchecked and out of control - none of the major websites seem to give a shit.  They appear to care more about 'traffic' than decency or respect.

It's through dark times we see the light, and through this particular episode, actually, something good will come.  If three speech are connected with Sony in anyway and would like more info about what I speak about, then please contact me.

For everyone else, I will post details soon.</description>

		<description>Brand loyalty is everywhere, even for Sony.  For example:

I know a Sony fanboy; he acts like a dick every time I play my GameCube.</description>

		<description>My understanding is that S Boxer is one of the least console affiliated journos in the UK. Think there's a lot of truth in what he says about the trendiness of PlayStation but feel he could have gone a lot, lot deeper with this topic</description>

		<description>Perhaps he should be more careful then, as by making sweeping generalisations you fall foul of being labelled as such. I'm sorry, I don't have the time to know the life history of every jorno who choses to chip in on this subject.

I own both Xboxes and have never been a "hardcore" PC gamer in my life.</description>
