    Gametrailers. It was fun to watch all the 360 vs ps3 flame wars happening on videos’ comments, as well as the occasional delusional n64 diehard thread that insisted it was the absolute perfect console of all time

      Oh man that unlocked some memories I hadn’t thought about in 10+ years!! I never participated in the PS3 vs Xbox360 arguments myself, but as a teenager who loved me some drama I spent more than a few hours reading through strangers’ flame wars lmaooo

        I was always a PC gamer, so I always enjoyed the endless fighting from the sideways, with bits of flak thrown my way every now and then. I still distinctly remember some idiot who commented “gay game its gay GoW (Gears of War) is better” on a video and instantly became a joke. I wish I could remember what was the game he commented on, likely a ps3 exclusive

        I also remember all the people complaining of favorable bias towards 360 games, with one user-made video showing some glaring discrepancies in a review of a multiplat racing game, saying the physics on the ps3 version were “wonkier” or something, but driving head on against the rails.
