i'm new to the boards, but seen fanboy mentioned when iwas reading sumthing and see it in a mag. So what exactly is a fanboy. From what i can tell is it someone who just likes one system and if they like it then its the best and nothing is better and everything esle is crap? And if anyone says one thing wrong about something they like, then they think that person has no idea what their talking about? whats your definition of a fanboy?

Pretty much a fan of a certain system, with the sexest word boy at the end

.

But typicaly people use it in terms of somebody who dosnt give the other console even a chance to prove itself, and harness all of his posting ability into making their console superior looking then the competition. (see: IGN)

Someone who's stubborn and set in old ways. And also has a hard time accepting new, different bests.

Well, I can be defined as a Nintendo fanboy (as other members have noticed

) But I'm not a "hardcore" fanboy. I say that a few games are good on other consoles.
