The picture really says it all; 72 Playstation 3 units remaining for pre-order at the Newcastle Virgin Megastore, one of the biggest media outlets in Europe.

Mostly a joke site, but the picture tells a thousand words.

Oh wow …. this is too funny. Thanks for the post Dave! Man that site is crazy … anyway from what people are saying Sony is due for a rude awakening in Europe … but really what did they expect? Still no great exclusives and higher prices than the US paid but with less functionality for the BC games … I keep wanting to give Sony a break and believe that they will be a real challenge to MS by the end of the year but stuff like this makes me rethink that line of reasoning. Especially with Halo 3 coming and PGR4 which are exclusives that most 360 owners are dying to get their hands on (especially PGR4 ..
… Sony better hurry it up with that price break and MGS4 and Heavenly Sword. I still say it was a really poor decision on their part not to make GoW II a PS3 title … even it wasn’t available for the US launch it could have been handled like Gears of War on the 360. If Gears could sell so well I know a PS3 version of Kratos kicking ass would have sold at least double the units. Bad move and it lets me know that Sony was definitely being incredibly arrogant this time around. Which is why BOTH MS and Nintendo are pummeling them in this next gen war. Karma, as I always say my friends, is a bitch.

To put it straight, fanboys are gay, microsoft fanboys, nintendo fanboys, pc fanboys, and sony fanboys, fanboys are not gamers, they are douchebags trying to defend and play only one console because they have nothing else to do with their time that isnt spent playing games.

Fanboys are just close-minded people who don’t realize that they’re rallying behind a CORPORATION who doesn’t care about them individually.
Fanboys are people who don’t realise that the real winners of the console “wars” are the people who have no preference, and play the best games on EVERY/ANY console.
