"Another Sony Pony? Is PSN Down?"
A hypocritical fan of Sony's gaming consoles. Someone who will go out of their way to defend Sony at any costs. Will also often spout the words "day one buy" in various forums in regards to any Sony exclusive game, or Sony hardware. However they never end up buying these items. Usually someone who is too busy trashing what others like, instead of actually playing what they enjoy.

Example 2.

"You see that news about removed European PS3 backwards compatibility?" "Yeah, and then they pulled a Sony and said old games were the past and PS3 games were the future." "Man, I wish the PS3 had rumble. The Wii manages it with way better motion sensing to boot." "Me too, but you saw them pull that Sony and say rumble was a last generation feature." "Wow, I've been in town all day and there are PS3's sitting around EVERYWHERE - nobody's buying them at all!" "Tell me about it - but every day now they pull a Sony and tell us demand is unprecedented. Can't say I'd noticed!" "Damn - I bought a CD last week and it installed a bunch of crud on my computer. I read on the Internet I can't remove it. Now my MP3's are all screwed up and everything is slow." "Oh yeah - you got hit by that Sony rootkit. They think everyone's a pirate. But they pulled a Sony and said since most people don't know what a rootkit is, it's their right to install one on everyone's computers to protect the music industry. Don't you feel better now?" "Jesus! My laptop battery just exploded! I lost all my data." "Sucks to be you pal. Sony batteries are exploding everywhere, they're recalling them. But not to worry; they said it was just a challenge to make better batteries that would show the Sony spirit. How's that for pulling a Sony?"
