Ok here is a rant.  
It seems to me that there is some kind of stigmata around people who play PS3. I don't know what the problem is with enjoying a console that does what I want. I read a couple different websites (Joystiq, IGN, GiantBomb, and Goolge News) for my video game news and have found that there is a imbalance (or at least I feel there is). I also listen to all of the standard gaming podcast (Joystiq, IGN, CAG, RoosterTeeth, GiantBomb...), but I don't hear the same level of "fandom" for the PS3. Joystiq doesn't even have a PS3 podcast. It seems that in the gaming world it is ok to trash Sony for business practices and customer support, but not Microsoft.  But I am a Sony PS3 gamer and would really like to hear or read about cool things in Home or about the cool games that are on the PSN. Now IGN Beyond seems to be the only podcast out there for PS3 gamers. And notice I keep using the word gamer and not fan. I stop listening to the Joystiq Xbox podcast because it got to "fanboy" for me. Playstation Home is a fun area to play in, Netflix and Hulu on the PS3 are the only way to watch any TV, and shut up about the PS3 updates. Here we are in a time when we can buy a game that has glitches (all games have glitches) and the developer can fix them later. Thats great for gamers. So we have to download a patch, so what. Would it be better if the games never got fixed. I was listening to a podcast the other day (can't remember which one) but they were complaining about having to update all of their PS3 console to play a game during Extra-life weekend. Well, if you turned it on more often than once every three months, maybe you wouldn't have to do so much updating. I signed up for Playstation Plus and think its a great deal. But if you listen to some of the podcast out there, it's the worst rip off you can pay for. I don't hear anything about the highway robber of XBOX Live, 60 bucks a year so you can play the games online when you have already paid for the part of the game when you bought it. Microsoft does not add any code to the game to make it playable online. It's already on the disk. 
  I just think that it has become "ok" to trash PS3 and PS3 gamers. You know what, I have over 1100 Trophies and I am proud of ever one. But people on this site will never know because GiantBomb doesn't have the Playstation Trophy sync like it does for XBOX.  
This is just a rant. I like to GiantBomb podcast and the Whiskey team of website are pretty awesome. I am just a PS3 gamer who is tried of being looked at as inferior because of my choice of gaming console.
