You Know your an Xbox 360 fan when…
Just the word achievement makes you smile.
In your opinion the colors green and white or black and green are the best combos out there.
Master Chief is your idol.
Even though you know it’s stupid you still feel a little excited an avatar award pops on screen… after all you probably didn’t realize you were playing a game that supported them.
Your workout regimen consists of turning on your Xbox and Kinect.
Hosting a party becomes hopping online to play a favorite game together with friends.
Writing funny things in your bio for everyone to see is somewhat of a pass time.
It’s ok to just turn on your Xbox and sit on the dashboard waiting for someone to come online or send you a message.
Spending hours checking to make sure your leaderboard status hasn’t changed and that you are still number one on your friends list is quite alright.
Certain dinging sounds make your head turn.
Making your avatar look ridiculously stupid and hopping someone will notice is sort of fun.
You don’t feel like listening to your iPod but you want to hear some tunes so you resort to iHeartRadio or LastFM to mix things up a bit.
Renewing your gold might feel like a drag but you know it’s totally worth every penny.
Discovering new things on the dashboard isn’t rare and it makes you happy.
It is pretty entertaining to browse the marketplace, click on a game you have played and flip through all the screenshots.
You secretly wish there were more hair options when customizing your avatar. No, buying things do not count.
You rush to put your party on private when someone you don’t quite want to join hops in just before the last second and the grinding tooth smile and hello slips out.
You add someone as a friend just because you think their name is cool.
It is ok to scroll through and send a bunch of recent players a message challenging them to a rematch just to see what kind of response you get.
You mute that idiot who keeps making disturbing noises into their microphone. They were surly just doing that for attention anyway.
There are so many things that prove players are Xbox 360 fans aside from the games players play. If you can think of something that you enjoy doing on your Xbox 360 that helps define you as a player just like the list above share your story in the comment box below.

Lol, I do definitely smirk whenever I see the word achievement. Then that sound instantly pops in my head even when I’m reading something like chemistry with the word.
And yes, chief is my idol.

You know if you sad little PS3 fanboys played more games, instead of trolling on the internet all day maybe Sony would not be ten kinds of fucked and about to go under… Just saying quit being so butthurt that people dont like your console.
You pay for xbox live because you get a crap ton of features with it that you dont get with PSN….
You know ur a PS3 fan when…..
…you dont mind that hackers have taken over the network and were viewing your credit card info
…you cant voice chat with friends via cross game
… you cant listen to music during a game
…you accept that the system crashed because of a date error on a leap year.
… you accept that third party games are far superior and run smoother on 360
… you are ok with waiting a few extra months for exclusive 3rd party content.
…you thing PS HOME was a success.
… you agree with paying MORE for a new slim
…you dont mind playing glitchy skyrim.
…you’re bitter about an article that is irrelevant to the idea of what console is better.
… you like using a 1 ft long charger cord for your controller.
…you still hold the RROD over Microsofts head even though they handled the situation appropriately and now have a console that works magnificently, for a fair price.
… you try to ignore the fact that Microsoft has conquered Sony in the console war by capturing the hardcore market with Halo, Gears, and other games by giving gamers exclusive content months before PS gets them…by capturing the casual market with a successful Kinnect rather than a “more responsive” Wii Remote,…and by capturing the media market by offering Movie/Video services, music/radio services, easy to use interface for family games and entertainment via the controller or voice activation with Kinnect.
….ehem…XBOX is better.

Hell Yeah, keep it rolling!
You know you are a fan when you have bought 4 brand new consoles as 3 have already RROD’d
Wow i dont even know half of what the Playstation things are. I think the type of Xbox fans your getting are the types that just NEED to bitch about something. Just like you did here.
Sony…. is more than just video games…
so when you say the company is going down…
take a look at all the factors and departments of SONY…
the video game department is perfectly fine…
SONY televisions is what is dragging down the company…
2nd to Nintendo… Sony is the longest running console manufacturer…
Sony video games aren’t going anywhere…
It’s not like they turned into SEGA and can’t compete by making systems…
once again SONY is more than just video games… and the other departments, especially televisions are the reasons for SONY showing poor numbers.
