Wow!, PS3 for me in the spring.

[TheSebringOne]

Already got your Chrimbo present!? Unless its not being released in the UK til Spring 08 that is?

[dan the man]

i am torn between a PS3 and an XBOX360.

really dont know which. game looks class

[simonprelude]

Well if you don't have either yet then you aren't too bothered about the latest games, I would suggest PS3 unless there are certain titles you are after.
It makes a great Blu Ray / DVD player also.

[dan the man]

yes the blue ray does appeal a lot.

[AR]

Will blue ray be the one to get???

who knows. we shall see i suppose

[Rob_Fenn]

I like the Xbox because of it's range of games, i've not noted anything decent on the PS3 as of yet. Thing is, the only game i've ever truly been interested in is the Gran Turismo series. It's just a shame i have to pay £350+game for the privilege...

Having said that i have heard about so many Xbox problems so maybe a PS3 is the better choice after all!

[gumball]

For you games people, GT5 prologue is out tomorrow. Yippee!

[dan the man]

Yes it has the NSX-R and a lhd 91 Acura NSX.

[simonprelude]

Just picked up GT5 prologue, off to switch the PS3 on now :D

[simonprelude]

For anyone looking to get this, make sure your PS3 is updated to version 2.2 before you insert the disk. It will save you a lot of time in the long run.

[TheQuietOne]

Just bought it too...all I need to do is get home and fire it up! Updated last night to 2.2 - we'll have to have a NSXCB race online chaps!

[simonprelude]

Already won quite a few races in my 2004 DC5 :)

[gumball]

Post has let me down:(

[TheQuietOne]

Simon what's your tag?

Gumball Woolies didn't let me down for £19.99 so not too bad! :)

[gumball]

Mines arrived now:bigsmile: post only just got here.

[simonprelude]

ADHDboy :)

The game swayed me into getting the PS3 instead of getting a dedicated Bluray player. Both aspects I am very happy with, picture is awesome... just got to sort out an ethernet cable to get online...

[AR]

Where is the best place to get one of those PS3???

Cheers,

The best deal I could find to get straight away from a shop was in Game. Got the 40Gb console, GT5 game and another No.1 game - Rainbow six (which will go on ebay for £25 ish) for £299.

Could only get it slightly cheaper online with voucher codes and Quidco.

[gumball]

Anyone bought an NSX-R yet? Acura is ok if somewhat slow;), but I find the R virtually undrivable:(

Got the R in NFR over the weekend - I have found it great, if not a little drift happy. The graphics are amazing, the online play less so which is a shame, hopefully this will improve!

Anyone thinking of getting a PS3 I would say go for it, on top of everything else it upscales normal DVD's amazingly on an HD TV!

[dan the man]

TQO whats your PS3 name?

[Ferris Bueller]

Thanks mate, l;ooking for one soon. :)

Amazon best online, Game best in person but haggle hard Ary.

FWIW I got GT5 Prologue pack, plus 2nd controller plus PES2008 for £320 from Game.

[NSXGB]

I didn't think the upscaler was all that, not as good as my dedicated player. Might need to update my software though, to be fair.

I'm finding the Group B 4x4 Alpine run time, trial a bit tricky, can't get better than 3rd...

Not sure but my software is bang up to date. I just think that for £300 the PS3 represents a whole heap of quality for your money. To the average eye even old DVD's look exceptional on my lowly Samsung 4
" LCD.

Having said that my God Father has around £50K worth of audio Hi-Fi so I know that when something looks good or sounds good there is always something that will make it look crap waiting in the wings! I remember thinking my separates system sounded amazing when I was 15 until I heard his set-up :D.

I spent about 2 hours trying to overtake all the cars in one lap in class B - still haven't managed it :angry:.

Agreed, pretty good VFM considering the comparison to just a dedicated BluRay player. Will reserve my final judgement to when I'm fully updated.

Done that one, very frustrating, glad I don't have to do that again.

The Group A Daytona ring 'overtake all cars' is really getting to me now...

Quite difficult that, I had to switch from professional to standard handling, then it was much easier.

[NSXGB]

Cleared the Daytona ring, but had to fight dirty....

Anyone messing around online?...Absolute chaos! Fed up with getting left standing by them, I followed the herd and bought the Amuse S2000 Turbo....certainly lives up to it's name....

What's the secret to this one.......can't seem to get higher than 7th place!!!...The car's not fast enough! :angry:

[NSXGB]

Blimey mate you still on that! I think you have to drive really aggressively and don't use the traction to get through that one.
It get's even harder when you to lock the 'S' events. You really have to play around with the car setups and gear ratios to get through. When you've done that you can buy the F1 car, that's good fun, seems to drive 3x faster than anything else.

[Silver Surfer]

Yep..slow starter as I only got my PS3 recently as well as a Gameracer seat and Logtech G25 wheel with gear shifter. :D

Cheers for the advice....

SS

[NSXGB]

. . . You got a wheel too, you really have no excuses! :)

[Silver Surfer]

Came 3rd but finally passed that stage. :)

Now moving to group A.
