Yeah, it sounds like maybe Sony isn't quite as bad as MS about it. I'm definitely over MS and all their shenanigans

I am a plastation guy, but I don't think I would consider myself a fan boy, I think both next gen consoles look great, but yeah MS did have a lit of mix ups and unclear messages when things were first being announced. A thing that took me by surprise the other day is, on ebay you can buy xbox ones already for about 300-350 and PS4 is still around 400.

I was an xbox fanboy in the past, but a fanboy with an open mind, which is an oxymoron.

After they announced the Xbox One and the original DRM always online plan, no backwards compatibility, and no transfer of old content, I was done with them, even after they backtracked on the always online thing (yeah for now).

Forever.

Not to mention it's ugly, has a stupid name, HAS to have Kinect, doesn't seem to be able to handle 1080p or 60 fps, and costs $100 more.

I'm not a fanboy at all, but last generation I played all my multiplatform games on the xbox 360 but since they screwed up at e3 last year I have jumped ship to the ps4 to play all of my multiplatform games just because I think that the games look better on the ps4 and imo the superior controller.

I have high expectations for PSN this year, it needs to be better, since Xbox live was superior last generation.

Ha, this is so funny. I googled fanboy because it's a newer word to me.

I don't know if I was ever passionate enough to be an xbox fanboy, but maybe I'm an Atari jaguar fanboy. I used to get upset whenever someone spoke poorly of the system, which is almost everyone. Ha ha, it seems pretty stupid now looking back. Funny how get attached to certain 'things' and want to defend them.

It's just natural to defend what you like. :) we've all been there.

I dont know but I might be an atari jaguar fanboy as well. I am partial to the system and always swoop to its defense when people try and give it crap

Excellent! Next time some unsuspecting gamer says anything derogatory about Jaguar we can form a two man Atari Jaguar fan club mob. Do the math bitch!
lol

Edit: Was just kidding, don't really think someone should be harassed for not liking something.

I wish there were more kickstarters for game realeases on actual cartridges. On that note I just pre-ordered a pier solar reprint.

They had me at 90's Metroidvania RPG.

Damn, this looks good. And that $60 pledge to get a physical copy is mighty tempting. Might back this one before it closes!

This one's already been funded but it's also one I'm really looking forward to! River City Ransom Underground:

While not retro per say, I thought this one worth sharing. Especially since this could also be a space saving method for those of us with large console collections.

I can't imagine 20 of those things filling up a wall. And the systems do not look held in there to well. And I think it looks better without the cheep looking shield.

Interesting idea, but you could put a small cover over the system to prevent damage, or discipline your kids.

The controller mounts look quite nifty.  The shields look ridiculous.  Really don't see anyone mounting those in a lounge/game room.
