Habbo census reveals PS3 to be 'Console of Choice' for teens
by Griffin McElroy 
{ May 17th 2008 at 7:45PM }
Nearly 57,000 Habbonians took part in the survey late last year, where 69 percent of the pixelated participants gave the PlayStation 3 "great or good" rankings, followed by 64 percent for the Wii, and 58 percent for the Xbox 360. The Global Habbo Youth Survey went on to show that females preferred the Wii and Habbonians located in the Americas were more favorable to the Xbox 360 than their Eastern Hemisphere suitemates. Not exactly new information, but it is an excellent excuse for us to repeatedly type the word Habbonian.

Well it's a good thing I'm not a teen... I knew all the PS3 fan boys here are just little boys wanting to be men... heh
Maverick Saturn @ May 17th 2008 8:01PM
Thats fanboys fullstop, fanboys have the worst excuses as to why not to buy the other console, that alone is childish behaviour.

Due to AIDS?

Yeah, they're due for a raid.
BananaBoat @ May 18th 2008 2:09AM
Since last time, I heard they made it pay-to-play at the pools. So you can't close them without giving money to them. Which is like dividing by zero. O shi-
Benny @ May 17th 2008 7:54PM
Habbo is reliable reflection of normal teenagers.
Mr.ESC @ May 17th 2008 7:56PM
And that's so damn sad.
Naota @ May 17th 2008 7:57PM
And we care about Habbo Hotel users why?

4chan is gay.
just want it to say it.

Pool is still closed though...
LaughingTarget @ May 17th 2008 9:05PM
I piss in their pool.
Mr.ESC @ May 17th 2008 9:32PM
"4chan is gay".
No Waii,Thanks Captain Obvious for saving the day again.
(Sorry I haven't use a Captain Obvious joke in a while)
Well are you saying it's gay for the fact no matter the board some guys post their 'shopped d*cks everywhere, discussions always revolve around d*cks, people post gay porn just for the sake of it or just for moot and the mods or maybe both column A and B?
Ironically anon is a homophobe.
Yeah 4chan is sh*t nowadays, I blame the cancer.
kingalekz @ May 17th 2008 9:45PM
@Mr.ESC
'post their 'shopped d*cks''
'discussions always revolve around d*cks'
'people post gay porn'
sounds gay to me?!!??
I just wanted to point out that I don't like 4chan. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no need to go into further details.
Mr.ESC @ May 17th 2008 11:03PM
So you are more of a 7chan user or a 420 chan user?
(4chan sucks but you can get a few cheap laughts form out of it.Personally I just visit that site for the lulz and creepypasta)
Jerk Face @ May 17th 2008 11:42PM
I just want to deliver a big 'fuck you' to all of you. I didn't know about 4chan until tonight, and you know what? I wish I didn't. Reading the posts on that site was like my brain vomiting diarrhea made of angree bees and regrets. Holy fuck.
Jerk Face @ May 17th 2008 11:43PM
I also like how I misspelled angry. What a jerk face.
Mr.ESC @ May 18th 2008 12:53AM
Jerk Face...
WELCOME TO THE INTERNETS.
Seriously you thought I was kidding about the gay porn didn't you?
jimmygotsmack @ May 18th 2008 1:57AM
4chan, raping your childhood.
BananaBoat @ May 18th 2008 2:19AM
Meh, you can't call for /b/lackup here, it's not going to work. Not that it works at the source anymore. Chances of getting any lulz these days are zero.
The only section with any lulz left is /d/
Jerk Face @ May 18th 2008 10:41AM
You guys, I found a dude on there who was taking requests for drawing pictures of King Dedede fucking.. snail things. A giant ass hole penguin. I even read someone say something along the lines of "OMG META KNIGHT/KIRBY!?!?!?" And you know what? People were eating this shit up.
What in the fuck is wrong with you, Internets?

Most of them are europeans I swear :S
Even if they play childish Habbo, they still have an opinion :) Be open minded people
JakubK666 (Ninja Defence Force) @ May 17th 2008 8:11PM
Hell, even I want a PS3. The question is, what kind of a teen can afford one?
droopy @ May 17th 2008 8:41PM
THREE-HUNDRED NINETY-NINE US DOLLARS
DWells55 @ May 17th 2008 8:53PM
The same kind that can afford a $349 Xbox 360. Seriously, at $399 the PS3 is a pretty solid deal. I bought mine just for the Blu-Ray - the only game I have for it is GT5P and a Logitech wheel. I'll grab MGS4 for it though.
Anticrawl @ May 17th 2008 8:58PM
Just thought I'd say, I feel sorry for anyone who spent money on a demo. That is all.
LaughingTarget @ May 17th 2008 9:06PM
It's not a demo, it's $40 to decide if you want to spend another $60 when the full thing drops. If you don't like it, you saved $20, if you do like it, you have a $100 PS3 game. A gambler's wager.
Ninjakamster (XBL: RNK2K) @ May 17th 2008 9:12PM
Its a pretty damn big "demo" though.
Anticrawl @ May 17th 2008 9:33PM
It is 40 dollars for an unfinished game, worse than a demo. So yeah you're right, it isn't a demo. It is some sort of mutant sub-demo demon spawn. What happens if you somewhat like the game? How do you justify spending 100+ dollars on one game?
Anticrawl @ May 17th 2008 9:38PM
@LaughingTarget
Your name is appropriate, I just had a good solid 10 minutes of laughter at that... whatever that was. I personally don't need months to decide if I want to buy a game, in fact playing a demo or whatever for that long would convince me to not buy the game because I'd probably be tired of it already. I personally just rent a game when the demo isn't enough or there isn't a true free demo. That's about as far as I'd go, and typically when I rent something I don't buy it. Sure GT5 might be worth the 60 bucks when it drops but it isn’t worth spending an extra 40 on.
Maverick Saturn @ May 17th 2008 9:54PM
Try telling that to the several million people who bought and enjoy the game anticrawl, demo or no demo, you're missing out due to having that mindset, not that anyone cares or anything.
But at the end of the day, it must be good if people are still willing to put thier cash down to play it, and all I can say is, GT5 is raking in the cash, you're not.
Anticrawl @ May 17th 2008 9:57PM
Well I still pity those people who are allowing this developer to abuse them. Probably won't buy the game though regardless, not a racing sim fan. Bring on the platformers.
Naota @ May 17th 2008 10:19PM
@ Anti
I think ya missed the point of Laughings rant.
Vidikron (FU) @ May 17th 2008 11:59PM
No one needs your pity, Anticrawl. Really though, how often are you going to bring this up? Are you now a disciple of Fernando?
Anticrawl @ May 18th 2008 12:54AM
Disciple of Fernando? Is it a cult now? What other time have I ranted about the demo? This is a standalone time, never before and probably never again. Don't be a douche bag. I'm no fanboy, I'm just not a fan of being ripped off, and yes before you babble off about the RROD and how I also own a 360 then I'll tell you I squeezed out a free 360 Elite out of Microsoft after my last console died.
jimmygotsmack @ May 18th 2008 2:03AM
When the guy on the counter explains to you the game you where about to buy is a really long demo.......
pool closed due to aids
Vidikron (FU) @ May 18th 2008 4:03AM
@Anticrawl
Maybe I have you confused with someone else. Regardless, someone brings that up pretty much every week. It gets old. We get it... some people think it's a demo that you're paying for. I don't think your a statement of your pity is really necessary.
JakubK666 (Ninja Defence Force) @ May 18th 2008 7:23AM
@ Droopy
THREE-HUNDRED to FOUR-HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE UK POUNDS!
Maverick Saturn @ May 18th 2008 8:05AM
Ripped off? You already are being ripped off Anticrawl, no matter what way you look at it.
When you pay to play with mates, something PC has had for years, when you buy a game, its the same as most other games, just with a new title, new characters and some better graphics.
No matter how you look at it, whether its a demo or not, you're being ripped off :) The devs make the money, we don't, the console makers get the money, we don't :P
Hyams @ May 17th 2008 8:20PM
I'm guessing Home will appeal to the Habbo fanbase.
Maverick Saturn @ May 17th 2008 9:48PM
How many times did I say Home looked liked Habbo :O
JakubK666 (Ninja Defence Force) @ May 18th 2008 8:26AM
Yeah but to be honest, the only teens that ain't playing Second Life are those who couldn't afford a dick.
el serpiente @ May 18th 2008 4:34PM
Whereas, Jakub, who buys dicks by the bucketful, has no need for second life. Enjoy your dicks, Jakub!
