Looks like the story got edited. It called the reporters of the story "DUMB ****S" in the description. 

Ah fair enough, I was about to say, what's wrong with that.

Do you mods even bother to check the front page at all ?  Probably not & since reporting does **** then maybe you can tell us here how the hell is this front page news even news ?

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/NewsCom-117772.aspx?CT=1

I think you mods should just get rid of the comments section altogether since you REFUSE to properly mod it & just have a forums site.  I wonder how companies sponsoring this site must feel with most of the users doing nothing but complaining & complaining about the horrible modding & please dont whine about how hard it is to mod such a big site because thats getting old & you only have yourself to blame.  Either get more mods & or just have a main page where users can submit news or get rid of the comments section altogether

Dude if you cant stand , articles or the truth is better for you to leave because seems that you can have a headache . I found this article, is not a blog, not a forum , its a legitimate site, too bad its not a 360 praising article, is a tech one, stop insulting everyone, and reporting any story that is not "good" for the 360. I saw a lot more like this one , what do you want to stop the contributors to submit true articles?

You seem to whine a lot, calm down, think again and tell me, what is wrong with that article?? what was wrong with the PS3 is the next Dreamcast articles?? oh those are good for you?

Nope no trouble at all, i don't like to see poeple angry , i am a fanboy? hehe i don't think so but i respect you , and if i find a story telling that the PS3 is dead and have RROD i would post it too, news are news.
No hard feelings and Peace

Both of those news are opinions & not news & both are 100 % forum posts.  How would you like it if everyone here started submitting their opinions & anyone elses opinions posted from any random forum as news ?  Even that Is the PS3 the next Dreamcast story does not belong on the main page.  This is n4g not o4g

Yes the forums ones i don't like them, but mine is not from any forum (i hate all the forum ones) i agree with you on that

I guess the news section would probably be alot more peaceful if the comments were disabled & the main page does what this site was made to do & just report news & leave the fan boyism to the forum.  At least then this site might look respectable.  It is the fan boys that really kill the main page

You know, I don't actually see much wrong with either article, I suppose technically the first should not have been approved as it is a blog, but considering other blogs are regularly used, I suppose it is fine.

I have been around for quite a long time and I can honestly say, the site is nowhere near as bad as it once was - I am neither MS/Sony fanboy - I have all the platforms and I am usually quite vocal about fanboyism in general.

If you really hate this site so much then there is two simple solutions:

1 - don't use the site anymore

2 - stop whining and suck it up.

we always approve stuff from beyond 3d. especially when they're quoting what konami says..

here is one - it is just that the author is stating it is related to PS3 when it blatantly isn't

I see then you approve forum stuff...hmm ... and you said "we" hmm i guess that "we" is 1 person
When you take the "test" it clearly says , if you find a forum story do you post it as news? the answer is no .

& the opinion & non news forum posts continue thanks to the Sony Droids

Nothing wrong with that post. Engadget is used all the time. I bet you would think it was ok if Engadget wrote "How Blu-ray will fail".
