Things have always looked bad for the xflop dead port-box, but nobody
could have predicted just how bad this would be. In under 4 years the
xflop died faster than a dodo in a shooting range. Just 9k sold in
August, in the US, while the PS2 is outselling the xflop-three-shitty
by a wide margin for the 9th month in a row! How bad can this get?
Well, the xflop-three-shitty has yet to pass that milestone of
out-selling the previous generation consoles, and it hasn't gone up
against the ps3 yet. However, come November, when gamers can actually
see how poor the xflop-three-shitty port-box really is they can then
decide once and for all that the PS3 was worth the wait.
Zacky-crybaby-bitch and his chums churn out excuses over and over,
spiralling out of control, and Swammi Mould0n posting fake Blig Merk
messages as if he's making some cutting satirical satire. They all fail
to dent the xflop supernova that's about to happen, the PS3 will sell
out this year, the xflop will die, and xflop dead will simply be a
graveyard to the elephantine like disaster that was Micro$haft game
studios.

I dunno.... 9,000 units is pretty good for a machine that hasn't been
made in over a year and hasn't been marketed since the 360 came out.

How many PS1s have been sold since Sony stopped making them?

Thanks for reminding us again of all the ps3 delays. I thought this
was supposed to be an anti xflop-three-shitty post?

>the PS3 will sell out this year

Yeah, thanks to low console availability and greedy ebay entrepreneurs.

Come on, let the poor old guy have some fun. All he's got left is bagging on
a discontinued console and praying to his pagan gods that the PS3 doesn't
get kicked in the teeth again. Personally I'm looking forward to seeing how
he's going to spin the massive PS3 shortages and the fact the 360 and the
Wii will own the holidays.

LOL wait, there's the answer: "The PS3 will sell out this year!!!" Yeah,
that's what happens when you only make a million or two and launch right
before the Christmas shopping season. What was the last console that didn't
sell out during the first six weeks after launch?

We'll see how things are going on planet PS3 come next summer.

I'd almost be willing to line up overnight to snag one if I could be
guaranteed of actually getting one in the morning. Be the easiest $1,000 I
ever made. Hell, if Bligy wants to buy it I'll sell it to him at cost.
'Course it's gonna take him the better part of two years to save up enough
from his McD's job to afford a PS3 in the first place.

What a hee-haw, you earning enough money to pay for the Playstation3.
Next you will be telling us that your 100 mile walk to the nearest town
is worth the 10 pairs of shoes your callus ridden feet will wear
through on the way to getting your PS3. You do realise you need
electricity in your hick-a-billie backwater shack? Besides, you need
that cash to pay for the alimony to your 11 cousins that you knocked
up while trying to get money to buy your xflop-three-shitty.

Nah, that would suggest SOME intelligence, and
judging from the child's posts, I see no
intelligence at all. Just a lonely fanboy
who has never had enough money to buy more
than one console, so he has to pull these
stupid comments from his ass to justify
him being a sheep.

Damn, whoever you are, you've got Bliggy down to a T. Other than the e-mail
addy, the only thing that gave this one away was the fact that Bligmerk
almost never replies directly to my posts, especially the ones where I slag
him for being Kennewick trailer trash.

For a second I saw a spark of courage and maybe even humor in Bliggy. I
guess that should have been the other sign it was fake.

Now this one isn't quite as well crafted as the other fake-Blig reply. Again
the e-mail addy is a giveaway, but the real Blig would never be this brave
and confrontational. That's why he starts threads and then runs for cover
from the asskickings he gets. He'll only weigh in if someone makes some sort
of minor factual error, which he'll seize upon like it was his mother's
teat.

Damn. You got us good. I really believed this was legit. I only went back
for another look after the other replies you posted in the thread. Didn't
even notice the "mirk" in the e-mail addy until now.

That was your downfall... the real Blig almost never revisists a thread,
especially to swap insults. He flings his feces then clambers up the nearest
tree to cower, he never, ever comes down to bare his fangs.

A masterful piece of impersonation though. Holley? Billy?

If that's "Blig Merk" speaking, it's because your mom is menstruating and
your dad doesn't like getting his hands bloody.

If that's Swammi asking why people think he's the fake Blig, I think you
just answered your own question. :)

If you have owned a PS2 and an Xbox and a 360, and a Gamecube. And a
Snes, a Nes, and a N64 and a Saturn, and a C64 and a ZX Spectrum and a
ZX81, apart from old, which of Blig Merk categories do you fall under?
