Gaming dilema!

[Gtiain]

I own an xbox 360 however, desperatly want gt5! It's a simple question really, should i buy a ps3 purely for this game alone?!!

SIMPLE ANSWER: YES

I bought a ps3 just for gt5 about 3 years ago! Haha!

Yes it's been 'coming out' for a good few years now!

Same here! 

I am definitely writing off at least a day to get warmed up with this!

when the ps3 was going through a quite patch on the games front, i purchased a xbox just for forza 3, yeah it was OK but after you have modded a few of your fav cars and raced them around the ring i got bored and now have a huge lump of black microsoft plastic sat gathering dust next to my tv..

gt5 on the other hand is well worth it, get the credit card out

i've resisted the ps3 until this came out and feel it is only a matter of time, i did have ocd on GT1 & 2 where everycar bought had to be white and have the same alloys

It's worth it just for the blu ray and the fact it supports 3D blu rays now. The 360 is better for online gaming, I got cod on my PS3 and wish I got it on my 360 now.

It looks like I'll have to become a 'two console' Charlie!

I bought the xbox just for nurbrurgring practise. Haha! I got cod mw2 on both now. I do prefer the gameplay on the xbox but as a whole I prefer the ps3. Much more advanced piece of kit

I wont be. The car list is rubbish. GT4 plus a few new cars. That's it.

Apparently the physics are still 'woolly' at best and the list of tracks is still missing some legendary circuits that really should be there (Spa and Silverstone to name two).

No B7 RS4
No AML DBS
No 430 Scud or 599 GTO
No Porsches at all (and most of the Ruf cars have been lifted for GT4)
Hardly any of the 'normal' cars have been updated - No MkII RS Focus, no MkVI GTI

I could go on. They've spent too much time on the graphics and not a lot else.

Just like Black Ops, this looks set to be another over-due, over-hyped anti-climax

Thanks Animal. 

From what you have said I can save myself from buying the inferior console just for GT5. 
Bearing in mind it was supposed to be a PS3 launch title what exactly have they done for the last 3 or was it more years.

That my friend is what I'd also like to know! I was hoping the delay might mean they were introducing a 3D element (depth perception in racing games in about the best use for 3D tvs I can think of!) or something similar to bring it bang up to date. Or that they were even waiting so that they could include some newer cars (599 GTO for instance) but no. Just a re-skinned GT4 with a handful of new-ish cars and the boring TG test track. Brilliant.

Surely you've had plenty of that from passenger rides? 

[Gtiain]

Good point about the lack of newer cars however, surely they will release cars like forza for you to download? Also I've heard the special edition comes with 11 extra cars. Don't know what these are though!
