You’re certainly getting your moneys worth with that picture aren’t you?
I’ll never tire of it though.

Looks like I’m not the only one who grew up doing the free local advertiser paperround by dumping the entire lot in the river!
Except that I didn’t tell the newsagent that i’d “shipped” 1000 papers.

Aw yeah. PS3 pwning 360. Sony outsold all you Bill Gates wanking M$FT fanboyz by 10x! Looks like Sony won the battle to enter the Japanese gaming market. Its not Sony’s fault that Nintendo is actually a Japanese company, how they supposed to compete with that kind of advantage?

Aran,
Is your comment supposed to be funny?
I don’t get it.
February 2nd, 2007 on 7:30 pm
Aran,
Why have you spelled ‘fanboys’ as
‘fanboyz’?
Are you a moron?

“Is your comment supposed to be funny?”
No, I am seriously thrilled about the fact that, based on these numbers, it looks like Sony is finally breaking into the Japanese market and doing so by trouncing M$FT. Now it is time to sit back and watch Sony take on the incredible juggernaut that is Nintendo! Miyamoto and crew might have the home field advantage, but I’m sure Phil Harrison will make America proud as he takes the Playstation 3 into the land of the rising sun!

phil harrison’s from here you big twat
oh btw, if you google for his name, a bit down the list there’s the scee page and it has an option to download a whopping 800kb jpeg of the bugger. it’s funny having firefox tell you ‘You have chosen to open Phil’
besides, it doesn’t take much to trounce MS in japan – even the wonderswan’s probably shifting more units than 360

Okay, I feel a sudden urge to be all primary school teacher-like.
Aran, go and look up “Sony” on Wikipedia. Read the first line, particularly the part about Sony being based in Minato, Tokyo, and see the Japanese name it has ‘randomly’ given itself.
Now, kindly throw yourself into a ravine somewhere, quietly. Unless you’re trying to be ironic, in which case allow me to shoot you as you descend. It’s for the greater good.

I’ve actually met Phil Harrison. Nice guy.

Even better example of Sony desperation:

I know kotaku’s wank but stick with it.
Poor poor poor Sony.

“Is your comment supposed to be funny?”
Yes, it was. I was mocking Sony fanboys who always try to put a positive spin on things. I am a big fan of this site, and am sorry that my failed attempt at humor might have made it not funny for a little bit. I’ll go back to the sidelines, now.
February 3rd, 2007 on 10:06 am
its not Aran’s fault. he is american after all.
February 3rd, 2007 on 10:56 am
Aran’s comment was actaully pretty funny. I thought a very good paradoy, and his first come back was quality too.
February 3rd, 2007 on 11:24 am
Oh, a sarcasm detector.
Well that’s real useful, isn’t it?
February 3rd, 2007 on 12:41 pm
lol what a twist.
problem is people DO post stuff like that honestly, thinking this is gamespot or something where people will actually get into arguments about games, thereby missing the point (that everything by sega is good – except sonic 360/ps3 – and everything else is crap)

What a bunch of shit. He’s still a wanker.

The guy on the left is thinking: ” I wish someone would bust a cap in his ass! “
I’d personally use my GTA baseball bat- he’d look like a mashed-up melon.
