Bu i love my Gran turismo. But I'd probably only be getting the PS for that game. Is it realy worth it?

Hi Tel, when I was pondering it was really only Gran Turismo which would sway me to the PS3, but I chose the Xbox360 and now I have Forza2, it really blows all expectations to pieces. I can't get off it, I have to force myself away when my eyes dry and turn red.

get on pgr4 Chris

[Chrislong]

Yeh I will do, but the disk tray hasn't been openned since buying Forza2, im hooked.

Online play with PGR4 is soooo damn dirty! First corner is always carnage, lots of effing and jeffing. Forza is so much more clean

[RLGfx]

get yourself in a race with friends then, it's either a lovely clean first corner, or even dirtier!

i need to get on there with you, jp and my mate 'patches'... only problem is that call of duty 4 seems to be stuck in the drive somehow!

Yes its a big pain, lots of dirty racers.

Had a good race last night, managed to get a good first corner and was second behind this US guy, I tried to sneak round him on the last corner and I hit him, I pulled over and let him have the win, we were talking and he was shocked, but I would rather have a clean win than a dirty one.
Some shunts are unavoidable but lots are just people who cant drive for shit!

Yea Robin I noticed your on COD4 I got quite a few guys that I race with now, playing it far to much! lol

[telboy]

you see.... I'm a Huge fan of the xbox live, I had it with the original xbox and couldn't get off it. i was on every night, got lots of 'friends' on there and we always got in the same game 'room' and played games together because we trusted each other not to play dirty, and we had a great laugh. Not just racing games either, i ofter got my haed blown off in about 0.75 sec on rainbow ten. lol. I never used to last very long on that game.

But like I said, GT5........hmmmmm. And the online play on PS is free and apparently just as good as xbox. the only game tha I won't be able to play on is PGR4.
i enjoyed PGR2 on xbox because it was more fun, than extremely serious. whereas I think that when GT5 goes online, I think the people on that might be a tad serious about the racing....but I just love the game.....but i also love PGR.

what do I doooooooo?!

What ever i get it'll probably be in the new year. But its getting veeeerrryyy close.

PGR4 out and out fun, Forza 2 serious GT like game

YOU know it makes sense all the way

The Elite no longer looks the best bet of the 360 range. The original reasons for buying it were hopefully to get the new cooler chipset, the larger hard drive and the HDMI connection missing on the earlier 360's.

But now the Pro spec has starting shipping with HDMI connection and the new chipsets (the elite isn't guaranteed to have the falcon chipset by the way, it may still be the old one), so the only difference for the £50 extra is the hard disk. Unless you are planning to download TV and films through Live then the extra space is pretty wasted.

You can also get deals on the pro with two games and an extra wireless controller for less than the £300 elite.

heres a brilliant deal....http://www.hotukdeals.com/forums/sho....php?p=1192601

[jim76]

the entertainment pack of Forza 2 and a wireless controller for £29 is nice! [clicks on order button!]

[Southwell]

Thats gotta be a missprice!!

[jim76]

well, seeing as mine arrived today with a receipt for £29 i'm guessing it was right!!

[Southwell]

Very nice, just paypal me my fee

[Mike Hudson]

I really don't know which one to buy after reading all this now. I want the new GTA when it comes out i can't get enough of them then theres all the other games for 360 and not many of my m8s have ps3s and online play is w**k on them really cant decide though they are both too good to choose between them

[jim76]

think you answered your own question.
PS3 - no mates to play with, crap online, one good game.
Xbox - loads of games, loads of mates on line, slick xbox live service.

no brainer.

Zip it Lowe.. Has your Xbox ever melted? No, cos you haven't got one.

You want one yeh? No? Perhaps you just don't realise it yet.

I found one big reason that Forza2 is miles better than GT5 will be - you don't need to spend hours getting Licenses to race the bigger races.

Fighting talk Mr Schlong

I'm not too bothered about either console to be fair at the moment, coming from a decent spec PC they both look pretty poor graphics wise. I mostly play FPS and real time stratergy games too which are no fun to play with a controller IMO.

The only person I know with a 360 has had it since launch and it's not exploded yet, I'm just messing with you
