WTF?

I just saw this on IGN's PS3 site.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/668/668446p1.html

I find this a little curious. It actually tries to get people to not buy and 360 and wait for a PS3. Thats a little rediculous and inprofessional for a commercial VG site, don't you think. I expect such things from fans and posters, but for a site and an editor to allow it is another thing.

We've already seen a growing disinterest in videogames in the past few months, I don't think those that help form opinions should actively root against another system.

Any thoughts?

I was going to say, I'm pretty sure IGN Cube would've done something even worse by this point. Otherwise they wouldn't live up to their name.

Remember the days of Matt and Fran. Oh glory.

Eh, all in good fun...

Xbox360 posts a story with 10 reasons to buy it, PS3 posts a story with 10 reasons to wait for PS3...

There is a difference between pushing a system and trying to deter someone from buying one so that they buy another, They should be pushing all of the systems. Their livelihood depends on it.

all companies do it.. MS was doing it with reasons you shouldnt buy an ps2 and wait for an xbox instead last gen.

i see nothing unusual about this, its the same stuff that goes on each gen with all the companies.

Its all meant in good jest I'd imagine. I kinda laughed at each one that I read about the goods/bads of waiting or GET 360 NOW!
