no i haven't gone online with the PS3 yet. my connection speed isn't that great with my wireless because the router is upstairs

i'll test it out and post my name if it's not all laggy

GTA the only game you have so far?

 

[AlexT2889]

Yep, it's the only game I have so far, I'm waiting for Gran Turismo 5 now. I still gotta pick up my Sony 32' HDTV L-Series and Sony HDMI cables from Wal-Mart since my bank screwed up last Thursday morning and waiting for them to post my money into my account.

Those cables from walmart and the ones you can find from Amazon for around $5 are no different in terms of quality. Trust me I have throughly compared the two. If your cable is upwards to $100 than yeah there is a difference

Figured I would let you know so that you can save a little cash here

since you bring that up, im looking to buy a couple short HDMI cables, to use for my PS3 and 360 instead of having to unplug the long one from my computer all the time. These one's on ebay, think they would be just as good?

6ft HDMI cable

Meh, I know about the price differences, I just like to brand match products and I am a HUGE Sony supporter. I rather get what I need NOW than worry about shipping and waiting forever for it arrive at my door. I only buy online for things I CANNOT get in stores or something more worthwhile like a game system or computer electronics than some cable.

Oh hellz yez, I've been watching that video over and over for past 2 days now, I just LOVE the visual effects and realism of the car physics. I love the music as well, London Elecktricity. I saw the Forza 3 version...it looks like some teenage douchebag created it on spare time... CRAPTASTIC!

While I admit that the graphics are indeed better on the PS3 version (GT), it just seems like it has taken forever to get from GT4 to GT5. I think it's been something like 5 years. And during the 1 year difference between the 360 release and the PS3 release, I bought a 360 and have been just fine with it.....so right now I don't have the right platform to play GT. With the price drop, I'm considering the purchase of a PS3....but I'll still buy and play Forza 3.

You have to remember one thing about Gran Turismo: Perfection. Polyphony Digital are GOD at taking their time to get EVERYTHING right with exact detail. They don't give a DAMN about Forza, one thing you rarely hear Poly talk about. Turn10 just wants attention so they crank out this "so-called" enthusiast racing game every 2 years or so with craptastic visuals and fewer cars with repetitive tracks and Need For Speed tuning garbage.

There was also 4 years between GT3 and GT4, so it's not that big of a deal. They released GT4 2005, GT5 Prologue was released in 2008 and the full GT5 will be released may 2010.

You can bet that 5 years between GT4 and GT5 will be well worth it, just like the older version were worth waiting for. I could play GT for days and days, give me Forza and I'm bored with it after a couple hours

 

[green98ls]

this is why it takes so long for them to put out a game. let's see this detail on a 360 in Forza... lol not gonna happen.

Watch this vid. It will blow you mind. AMAZING!
btw the demo is on Xbox Live Marketplace Includes some cool cars including Audi R8, Ferrari 458 and Porsche 911

I love how Gran Turismo actually has "life life" moving wheels when driving, Forza seems to have the same "look" when the wheels are spinning which makes it look arcadey and half-assed, they also look like they're floating off the ground, which was huge problem in Forza 1 which I had myself. There really is no comparison, GT is for REAL car fans with 1,000+ cars while Forza caters to the ricer crowd with lame paint/tuning and paltry 300 cars...I mean, COME ON!

I totally agree man, also if you think about it, I now believe Poly learned their lesson with GT1/GT2, while GT1 graphics were amazing then and probably still today because I play every once in awhile, when I got GT2 (which came out a year later, 1 YEAR! of development!), the physics and car models always seemed out of whack even tho it has 600+ cars. So now they're taking their time, making each one better and better. So in the end, it's totally worth it.

There's also a WHOLE list of online features coming with the GT5.

Gran Turismo 5 Game Features Announced

They listed more at E3 but i can't find it. There's like a tv mode or something its all beta but sometime after game launch there will be loads of things to do

Speaking of online, i bought the multiplayer map pack for RFG like 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to even play one ever since. Sup with that??

 

[Criminal Fetus]

I'M ANGRY!!!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR Why the HO is M$ spending all the money for GTA4 on 360 to have all the awesome DLC!? I want, i vant, i schwant!!! We (PS3 owners) prolly have to wait 6 months to a year just to see one at a time!! It's not fair!!! We all know Lost and Damned has BEEN out and still no helping words for us, and now look at the Ballad Of Gay Tony. They got more helis, funnier characters, more cars, and more locations as well as achievments! Oh and FREAKIN PARACHUTES!!!

 

[AlexT2889]

It just shows how god damned ****ty the Xbox 360 is when Microsoft has to PAY developers to make a certain game better to get more customers...pathetic.

HAHAHA i couldn't have said it more bluntly! Well stated and so very true. I just can't wait to see what they are gonna do when the DVD-DL is obsolete! lol Now they expect this to save their asses!




HAHAHA i just though of Seaman for the Dreamcast! This is the 360's revelation. They should put Leonard Nemoy in it lmao

 

[AlexT2889]

Yea, I always had that thought too about the HD-DVD they're using, it's already full to capacity while Sony keeps cranking out games that still look spectacular while still not utilizing the entire single layer of memory on the BD. Oh! what's up with the brick tumor of Natal on top of the 360?
