I always pictured you with blonde hair Ed.

Thanks for those rather disturbing videos, nine year olds have such interesting insights.

Ed @ Dec 23rd 2006 8:54PM

Vince, please stop trying to picture me. ;)

Uuuh, that kid needs to be shot in the head.

Rob @ Dec 23rd 2006 9:04PM

Hmmmm... After watching that video, i am DEFINETELY becoming a ps3fanboy.. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jay @ Dec 23rd 2006 9:55PM

D'you think this kid knows that he needs to turn up the volume on his shitty mic instead of trying to eat it?

CONFUSEDgam3r @ Dec 23rd 2006 9:59PM

That kid makes me feel ashamed to be a PS3 Fanboy. What an idiot. GTA5:P

I hope that his parents beat him for using the mic like a toy. He obviously knows nothing about gaming. NOTHING!

See...not that your old enough to realize that considering you think that price = quality. But it doesnt the ps3 is ONLY getting negative publicity from HUGE magazines like TIME. Check gamespot most HATE the ps3. There is no reason to buy one, and learn how to pronounce mario you noob.

Doombunny @ Dec 24th 2006 12:08AM

No the Ps3 sucks big time. And you say that Wii players are fat and crap, no, they actually move around and get a work-out while Ps3 people sit on there asses and are really lazy soo... Oh and good job on your first time saying a bad word. But anyways the Wii will rule over all the other systems. Who wants to buy a game system for $600 I meen like thats a retarded price. Wii will RULE! Theres no hiding the fact.

captain baddy @ Dec 23rd 2006 10:30PM

it's nice that they let kids with down syndrome on the internet. merry christmas

PS360....gig @ Dec 23rd 2006 10:40PM

Luke,
are you arguing with a freakin child? Let's just say that your unreferenced specs post is true, you're seriously debating the xbox 360's superiority with a child who makes videos about his "Hot or Not Video Gaming Edition"? And according to your post, gamespot hates the ps3? Check most of the reviews for wii games as well, they seem fairly low, especially for zelda which I think is a massively well done game. In terms of the PS3, this kid obviously loves his system, it was the sega vs. nintendo, atari vs. intellivision of my time, let him have his fun.

Vince @ Dec 23rd 2006 10:44PM

Luke being the older blonde version then, with slightly more sophisticated bullshit.

Dahk @ Dec 23rd 2006 10:46PM

LOL Luke who are you shouting at? Good job for commenting on a post that blatantly just tries to hog up the 360 spam =).

Hey can you reference that material? I just wanna see that somewhere else, and I'm too busy to look for it myself =) Thanks dood.

Jimmy @ Dec 23rd 2006 10:49PM

Look...the PS3 is no doub the best right now. And if you disagree then in the next year you'll see. But, that kid seriously needs a life.

This Kid is a Fag @ Dec 23rd 2006 11:22PM

See, this little fag was probably hired by Nintendo and(or) Microsoft to *rave* about the Ps3. The way he was holding the mic, I could barely understand him. This kid literally had no idea what he was talking about. God this kis is gay!

Wesley Hester @ Dec 23rd 2006 11:51PM

Where are the parents/guardians when you need them?

Plays M-Rated games too I bet.

I like my PS3 but I like my Xbox 360 and soon to be Wii too. It should always be about the games and having fun.

PlayStation 3 $600 = 10 less Xbox 360 games I can buy. Oh well, see almost anybody can get multiple consoles on a budget.

Wait until this kid moves out and doesn't have to shut the door to keep mom and dad from hearing and isn't stuck with just the one console they got him for the Christmas season.

Paul @ Dec 24th 2006 12:15AM

"Look...the PS3 is no doub the best right now. And if you disagree then in the next year you'll see. But, that kid seriously needs a life."

I don't know about you but I own ALL 3 systems. I think the 360 is the best of all of them. The PS3 is littered with problems. Being a gamer thats been playing since the 2600 I've seen those on top drop in an instant with a new system. Im guessing that will happen with Sony this time. The PS3 has lost its mainstream appeal. Not too many games on the horizon for at least the next 6 months, very few exclusives left. I think the biggest selling point of the PS2 was the games, the exclusive games. Not going to be the case this time around, and BluRay isnt selling systems

Charles Ferrendelli @ Dec 24th 2006 12:21AM

Why is this shit being posted on here? It just makes the Playstation fan base look stupid.

Microdot @ Dec 24th 2006 1:00AM

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

mission:flamebait accomplished HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

man... i KNEW the moment i saw this originally... that the wii and 360 crybabies would just go apeshit. those of you crying about what is said in this video... you are FAR more pathetic than this kid could ever hope to be. you are arguing... with a MOVIE CLIP.... FROM A KID. actually... come to think of it... "pathetic" is just being nice.

nicely done ed. tip of the hat to you sir. hahahahaha

Thomas @ Dec 25th 2006 4:34PM

Good job Kid! If you love the Playstation 3, then go ahead and tell off those 360 and wii fanboys. Video games have always been about trash talk, and this was some good ole' fashion trash talk... lol

dragonjoe @ Dec 24th 2006 3:06AM

Does this kid even have a PS3? I only watched the first vid.

As a proud member of the wii60 school of thought, I'd like to apologize for my slightly more retarded brethren who took this flame bait, hook line and sinker. They will be subsequently dragged behind our meeting shed and have the living sh*t beaten out of them.

Along with this child. :) Happy holidays!

SuicideNinja @ Dec 24th 2006 3:09AM

Doesn't an argument based around defaming a product by utilizing the word "gay" automatically invalidate it?

All the adults in this house are returning all their non-Sony products immediately. We wouldn't want to use "gay" products. *snicker*

I can only smile, because I'm sure I was the same way in the Sega vs Nintendo days. Or even Gameboy vs Lynx/GameGear/Other.

The only suggestion I have for our prepubescent friend is this: that type of microphone can be a good 12 inches away from your mouth and record clearly. A solid recording will help us nsure we're not missing any of the pertinent reasons why the PS3 will dominate and the Wii's selling spree means nothing.

mike @ Dec 24th 2006 3:14AM

So luke i am not saying that i know what does that facts mean but do you have any idea of what do they mean or are you just on copy+paste thing?

Irwin @ Dec 24th 2006 3:34AM

We are sorry oh great one :(

Atelectasis @ Dec 24th 2006 5:31AM

This seems like more Sony viral marketing to me.

toosoontogetaPS3 @ Dec 24th 2006 6:45AM

duhhH!! what else can a ps3fanboy or owner do nowadays with like no real good game to play with they can only sit on the pc and rave about ps3 which still has to show its true power and mudsling at othr consoles...i want a ps3, but really,this is pathetic...

Majormauser @ Dec 24th 2006 8:49AM

fix your mic.... so thats the little kid I play in Halo 2 .

Anyway where the hell did "Luke" get any of that tech spec info? I have been looking for that

Majormauser @ Dec 24th 2006 8:57AM

Can't PS3 FANboy do anything more productive than this embarrassment. Why not create an effective blog that would point out to SONY that we are unhappy with the controller having no rumble, The pathetic Online support and just simple operation of the interface issues.

I really want to love the SIXAXIS but I really miss the rumble. and the trigger buttons really need to be triggers. Sony just sent out a survey I gave them my honest opinion but there seems like there is no other place to give comments to SONY… again a faceless entity. SONY should start listening to gamers and be more proactive with sites like this. What the PS3 Needs more of….a place for intelligent PS3 gaming news… with a more human side to the corporate mentality that they have right now. If we say something intelligent maybe they will listen.

Whittico @ Dec 24th 2006 7:09PM

Uhh, I really don't think this kid is as much of an uninformed d*ck as everybody makes him out to be. I just think that he is an uninformed PS3 fanboy. I'll admit to liking the Nintendo Wii more than the PS3 right now, but I'll also admit that the PS3 has far greater graphics. Unfortunately, most of the games for the PS3 out right now only have graphics on par or lesser than the Xbox360. Also, pretty much the only good game out for the PS3 is Resistance: Fall of Man (Gundam shouldn't really be mentioned in the games list), so it would make more sense to pay for either a system that has a new way of playing games, plus a few games that are actually fun
...OR...
Paying for a system that has been out for a year that has GREAT games on it
...THAN...
to pay for a really cheap Blu-Ray player (which hasn't won just yet, if at all) that just happens to play games. Just let me know when Devil May Cry 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4 come out and I'll think about enjoying the system just a little bit more.

On another note, this kid should not, at all, be talking about other people insulting game systems when that is exactly what he has been doing. It's called being a hypocrite. That's why I am trying as hard as possible not to rant :)
One more note, when stating that a system has good games, PLEASE DO NOT keep repeating a series name such as Grand Theft Auto, especially when most of the games he said are on older systems.
