PS3: better than a toaster?
For serious gamers this holiday season, there is really only one question: whether to buy a PS3 or a toaster. Thank goodness there's now a video guide to the relative benefits of each unit. According to the video, while the PS3 excels with its myriad cords and inputs, excellent love-making ability and saucy German attitude, the toaster is definitely the choice for fans of toast and Pop Tarts. We're a little skeptical of the video's claims that the PS3's self-replicating ability will ensure plentiful supplies at launch, but it's still worth due consideration.

@48, Don't pull MS in. Joystiq were accused of being Anti 360 before and I believe they still do. All harsh comments on 360/PS3 and excellent praises about Wii make me wonder.....

It's good that Joystiq bashes Sony, maybe that will convince enough people to not buy one at launch.
Sweet, less competition for me.

OMFG, that's laugh-till-you-cry hilarious. There's nothing fanboyish about that, it's just funny.
Can we just start banning people who don't know the difference between a "blog" site and a "news" site?

This could have been about the Wii, besides the passing HD remark. This could have been about any console. Who cares?
WTFM: Watch the frickin video.

I am getting seriously tired of this Wii Powerup and PS3 bashing. I am a Wii fan and it will most likely be the only next-gen console i will pick up unless the 360 or ps3 will be affordable one day which you know they will...
But really it's been annoying me a lot. I mean for someone who loves the Wii wayyyy more than the ps3 to come and say that its time to stop with the ps3 bashing is pretty bad.
People love it when there is as little bias as possible so please keep it as universal as possible.

"All harsh comments on 360/PS3 and excellent praises about Wii make me wonder....."
Oh yeah, sure. Like you don't remember that straight week of Wii/Nintendo bashing after Revolution was changed to Wii?

Fucking stupid. However, it's what I have to come from Joystiq. Hate the PS3 much guys? In a small way, it's amusing to see how hard this site tries to spread anti-PS3 FUD. Hope you're making some good ole ad-bucks, sleazy!

Dr. Swiss-Yea, good point! I think that'll be plan B here as well!

Socrates:
"...only 3 people whined about anti-Sony bias, but about 30 people felt the need to shout down those 3, and most of them made ridiclous/stupid/childish comments during the process. But hey, at least people who buy a 360 or Wii will have *one* entertaining game this fall - rabid message board ranting."
Actually it's probably just one idiot whining about bias and logging in as different names each time. But seriously can we stop this immature crap now? Long before Joystiq existed I remember dumb shits writing into EGM ten years ago whining about their bias against Nintendo/Sega/Sony or whoever. It's time to grow up and realize that everyone has bias (or as sane people call it, 'opinions') built into everything they think or do. Getting offended because somebody has an opinion different from your own is the height of arrogance and immaturity.
Not everybody you meet in life will have your same opinions. In fact most of them won't. Time to learn how do deal with this in another way besides crying about how unfair it is that someone disagrees with you.
And Socrates, it gives me some hope in the human race to know that 3 ignorant people started bitching about nonsense and 30 others put them in their place. (it does concern me that you actually took the time to tabulate that) Ignorance doesn't deserve respect or even equal treatment. And you don't have the right to not be offended.

On the one hand the PS3 is powerful and will play all sorts of neat games like that new game about...something.
On the other hand the toaster can cook food.
I'll take the toaster. Besides, they'll make em play video games someday. I can't wait Burnt Bread Revolution or P0P T4RT Mania or Spore or...

That video was amazingly dumb.

Joystiq...it's getting very old. Just because you have nothing to report about does not mean we want to hear about how the PS3 sucks...for the 50th time.
