A fanboy is a person who will not accept the positive aspects of any other types of media besides the media he enjoys. One of the most common fanboys are videogame console fanboys. If a fanboy owns an XBox, the PS2 and Gamecube automatically sucks simply because he has an XBox. Or maybe the fanboy says that the PS2 and GC suck because the XBox has better graphics.
A fanboy can be a fanboy of different things besides consoles as well. Some will not accept that other FPS besides Counterstrike are good. Some won't accept that other MMORPGs besides Everquest are good. Fanboy = ignorant, close-minded person who believes that their media choice is better because they haven't tried out the alternatives, and/or can't afford the alternatives, or hate the alternatives because of an immature reason.
