    You know the way 'fanboy' is thrown about; and there's a derogatory term for Xbox fanboys ("Xbots").......is there a similar phrase for Sony or Nintendo 'fanboys'? Haven't heard it bandied about.

    this needs to be deleted from space time

    really? That's probably for the best. I'd just like to know for my own edification.

    personally i think 'Xbots' is a hilariously childish term.

    Do they get their own 80's cartoon-style theme tune?

    Sounds like Xmen, Xbox and Autobots all in one.

    You're not alone. I've heard that term before; probably used ironically by folk on podcasts, or in some penny-arcade strip.

    I'm surprised that others, here, seem unaware of these 'witticisms'. Not that they should feel tempted to seek out and use these, oh-so-clever, plays on everyday words.
