[...] Wonderful story, reckoned we could combine a few unrelated data, nevertheless really worth taking a look, whoa did one learn about Mid East has got more problerms as well [...]………

The first is one of our most controversial articles….Here’s another:

Now go ahead and call us Xbox 360 fanboys!

I dont know, you guys are saying that IGN is pro XBOX? Well, Sony deserves less burn from the heat (due to their superior non RRODing consoles and games) but the degree to which you guys defend Sony over MS plain shows which one you guys clearly support.

As journalists, people would expect you guys to be unbiased to both industries.. Now im pretty sure ive never seen an article defending MS from their screw ups but Sony never failed to receive support from you guys.

I mean, dont get me wrong, SONY DOES deserve more support, I agree, but the problem is, you guys cant go about calling other sites biased when you yourselves are :/

The Western part of the video games industry obviously particularly hate US & UK … but certainly not the East: Japan, Asia, South America, Europe and a minority in the US & UK.

And how about the majority of the billions who owns PlayStation hardware and games?

“But there’s a nasty trend happening right now that’s somewhat startling and disheartening at the same time. There’s a saying that goes “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks”. It means eventually, what’s in one’s heart will come out through the mouth, making known one’s true feelings towards a thing, or somebody. While scouring many websites, especially the most prominent ones, all I can see right now is hate towards Sony. Like a lion after its prey, they go after the giant and rip it apart like they wish the PlayStation brand was already dead. From IGN to Eurogamer, and VG247 to Gamasutra, there’s a pervading theme that seems to say “kill the dog while it’s down”, and, “make sure it’s beaten to death”.”

Although I strongly AGREE that these sites use sensational PS3 press articles to get tons of hits but what I see wrong is the negativity in the industry this practices produce. That makes people irritated all the more instead of having a healthy gaming life.

Yeah these sites has been rumored as being considered big anti-PS3 sites with controversial articles & publications.

But in this PSN outage situation I can confirm that they went all out to perfectly take advantage of truly bringing the PlayStation brand down and showed their true colors & motivation.

This NEGATIVITY is the cancer that must be put to death and must not be allowed to corrupt the well being of gamers.

What an exposed shame.

Me, I will just try to have a positive outlook on my gaming life and enjoy my games yet being vigilant about anything that will destroy the good stuff.

maybe its because the way they treat their fans?

- That is subjective, microsoft nickle and dimes their fans to death, even subjecting their fans to a huge payment hike on live, so they can feed activision money, whether players played COD or not.

having the WORST customer service in the world!?

- I’ve had 4 systems break to RROD, and one to disc scratching. Trying to recall their customer service system at microsoft makes me laugh at your comment.

having a massive security breach and waiting weeks to say boo?

- What about how RROD took a year for Microsoft to admit it was a problem? What about how Microsoft still fails to admit that their system ruins discs, and faces many hard drive failures? Yeah… you’re wrong again.

breaking consoles with bodgy firmware then charging for a solution?

- The 360 broke regardless of firmware, no real need to comment on this one. Including firmware updates, and a crappy paid for online system that went down for 13 days over christmas of all times, because it couldn’t handle the traffic (PSN has trice as much traffic).

violating users rights?

- They have no violated any user rights, you might want to read a user agreement sometime in your life.

stealing features?

- This one makes no sense, you are whining about security breaches, yet you whine about the biggest vulnerability that was present? You want to see missing feature, go watch a Microsoft press conference. Go see the lack of HDMI or HDD in many 360s.

lying to their customers?

- Again, subjective. All companies do this. Sony has done this less than Microsoft, and comparably to Nintendo.

You are exactly what this article is about, tunnel vision based on bias thoughts. I just demonstrated how Microsoft has been just as bad, or even worse really.

The breach of personal data is comparable to information people freely give away on facebook, or is included in an email response, or white pages. Credit Card information was never touched.

Seriously, get a clue.
