Fanboy wars infect ebay

I was briefly perusing ebay when I noticed an "eye-catching" guide on the left.

Here is an rather "praise-worthy" example of a person who doesn't know how to turn off CAPS LOCK.

Even better is this quote:

FIND A SITE THAT STATES JUST THE NUMBERS NOT THE HYPE.

Sounds noble, right? This gentleman (or woman) also seems to already know that the HD-DVD attachment is $250, the PS3 runs at 2GFLOPS (disproven by IBM already), and that the PS3 will "edge out" the Xbox 360 (just like the Xbox edged out the PS2, right?).

He must also must have missed that part in E3 where Kutaragi's original 7-controllers claim was revoked. 7 Bluetooth devices, but only 4 of those can be controllers (not that this is a problem).

Sony is brilliant. They construct a superior set of fallacies in the beginning before they have anything tangible. Said claims are what people listen to, and those people never follow up. This person obviously wouldn't be as excited if Sony had come clean from the get-go.

This may have been forgivable if the author wouldn't have written it post-E3. Even then, although the guide was updated today, the information provided hasn't been updated.

*wags finger* Tsk, tsk.
