The Fanboy Mentality

Fanboy
It’s called justification, they justify failings in the items they are infatuated with and think that is enough reason to ignore its failings. Take the Playstation 3, they rationalize its failures and think it is a justification, they state that it has a built in Blu-Ray player hence the price is justified, they rationalize that it was only recently released justifying its lacklustre titles compared to the Xbox 360.
They also use this to not listen to reason, but it isn’t so much so they don’t listen to reason it is that they don’t accept reason and justify it. Sure the Playstation 3 is bloody expensive, that's reason, but of course it is, it has a built in Blu-Ray player.
Consumers are different, they don’t believe in justifications, they believe in what they can get and how much they can get it for. They don’t give two bits that the Xbox 360 has been on the market for so long because it has a lot of great titles, they don’t care Playstation 3 has a Blu-Ray player, it still costs a lot more than the Xbox 360.
So there you have it, fanboys unmasked. What? You thought this would be a lot longer? Of course not, fanboys are simpletons.

Obviously justifies that the more she pays for something the more it will be worth... I think.

Is it more of a male characteristic? I wouldn't think so...

Passionate Apathy
Can you post your blog in less than twelve parsecs? Heh
Ahmed:
How would you class fans who accept (but don't ignore) the failings in our chosen passion? Example: I've always been a Trekkie- but I still recognize that the Captains in the last two Treks needed to be strapped into a Krell Brain Boost device for three weeks just to reach minimal competency. I don't justify the alleged writing the franchise sunk to- though to be fair it was often worth a giggle.
