Right guys, I currently have an XBOX360 (since they came out). Don''t play it that often but quite enjoy the odd BBC2 or COD MW2. I enjoyed the Forza and PGR driving games but was annoyed at the limitations of Forza3 multiplayer where you can't have an open game (anyone not just friends) hosted with a class of car restriction.

So bearing that in mind, is it worth buying a PS3 for GT5 ?

Does the multiplayer allow you to host a game restricted by car class ?

The reviews seem to paint a bit of a mixed picture......so I'm really stuck on the fence...........

For starters gt5 is looking like a failure , the graphics Is no better. I love it when people say it has a blu ray player if you want a blu ray player dont spend £250 for a average one

+1....This always comes up when people look for advice on which machine to buy. At the end of the day the sole purpose is to play games, who gives a toss that it has a blue ray player, a reveiw should based on what it does first not what it does second.

Save your money fella and keep the xbox..

PS3 FTWand it has blu ray player

If you hardly use the xbox I cant see a PS3 being worth the money, when you get fed up of GT5 it will collect dust again

i've got a ps3 and xbox360, prefer the ps3 but if you hardly use it its quite a big outlay for one extra game.

Same as that, I like the ps3 for the fact that it has the blu ray player, free online playing and the controllers are rechargeable. As it has the blu ray player which is actually quite good it's saving space in my tv unit.
Find that there are less games for the ps3 as well, better titles on xbox

Have all 3 consoles. Use the XBox360 more as it comes with everything you need in the box for on-line gaming with your mates, such as a headset and everything set-up for partyy mode and private chat etc... My launch day PS3 hardly gets used, and find it's more of a faff for updates , which can come in quite often and you end up twiddiling your thumbs whislt you await the update to download and install. Also the added expense of buying a headset and setting it up if you want to play on-line. Also the PS Network seems flaky at times (Especially with wireless). Just my opinion.
The Wii gets used more than the PS3.

If you don't really use the xbox there is just no point in getting the PS3.

Buy it

Xbox 360 = kids at school and young familys i have all consoles, Xbox is good looking a bit dated now sometimes struggles but overall good.

PS3 = Older fanbase much more powerfull Blue ray player free Online no subs.

New Xbox 360 2 will be out next year or later based around AMD new chipset, should start getting good then lets hope they dont used failed DVD technology this time and pop blu ray in it

Ant

Can I see picture or written evidence the xbox "struggles".

You forgot to mention all the time waiting for games to be installed to the HDD. All that "power" and can't run games straight off a disc . What a joke

Another vote for PS3, my xbox collects dust. Partly because it's an old one and it annoys the s**t out of me whenever I turn it on with how noisy it is.

Littleted

Games are loaded onto the HD cos they have massive content just as Gears of war 2 dumped 6.8 gig on ya drive.

In fact Xbox more so has it uses a failed DVD technology hence needs backup.

I dont want to quote stuggles but if i must

dead Rising 2 was 1 perfect example get loads of zombies on the screen and chugginton starts on 360 ps3 is fine.

Both great consoles though

Not really, I know people who use it as a full media server, hooked up to the AV system streaming music and videos, e-mail, internet. I guess the 360 can do the same stuff, but there will be a certain percentage of people who will want it to have the ability to do more than play games.

Get a PS3 Dont get a PS3

If you want crash dynamics then you might be disappointed with GT5, however, it is a driving sim.

Get the Logitech GT wheel and the Wheel Mount Pro (well, if you're going to splash the cash, another £170 on these two is a must).

The graphics, choice of cars and tracks is awesome.

Loading times are a bit ****.

Hardly hows it going playing gt5? neither can go online too

+Doc+

Well GT5 I have on the PS3, dont play it much tbh I prefer the COD series.
I tend to use the XBOX for testing games to buy for PS3 or for single player only oh and games my daughter likes
XBOX live is not free like PS network either!

Ant

sorry i misread your post i thought you was saying both are flashed/chipped

If his ps3 is jailbroken he wont be able to go online or play GT5

If you dont use your xbox I think a PS3 will end up the same - would be nice to have best of both worlds though

PS3 all the way, antc is clearly a Xbox fan boy whom will not differ from what he has already said. Sell your Xbox along with your goodies and get a PS3 with GT5 for pocket change. Yes it has a blue ray player which is a bonus and comes in handy. No Network fees either which is a small added bonus.

On a seperate note, GT5 is a great game, but it didnt meet my expectation, unless I was expecting something more superior than they could offer.

Rob

PS the HDD loads are sometimes to make the game run smoother and run quicker when in use.
