Well as i suspected Poliphony have now confirmed that gt5 will be FURTHER DELAYED until march 2010....im sure tis must be because they have been playing forza 3 and have realised gt is not going to measure up in terms of physics and game play..oh well back to the grindstone guys!

erm so Forza is good then so i need a 360 hope GT5 comesout soon i dont want it hyped that much that it would be disapointing. Speakin of which ifany one has got GT PSP whats it like?

have yo checked the pics I posted up on the xbox pics section? take a look for yourself, its a great game, AI seems a little easy (well, I'm creaming them so it seems that way, but then I've played forza since the 1st one) graphics are ace but GT seems shinier, though we'll have to wait to see how the damage modelling is, on forza its still not fantastic, even serious crashes seem to only produce a scratch

I think the damage modelling is more than adequate on forza 3 ib...also on simulation mode
I like the way handling gear change etc is affected..There is a good review of forza on sim racing tonight which recently has become more focused on console games theres also reviews on nfs shift and soon i beleive on gt psp whic i recently borrowed from a freind...verdict is very good well worth getting if you travel or commute a lot as its aproper racing game with plenty to keep you occupied

lol got my birthday list done then hehe

a new 360 (thinking elite edition) with Forza

and GT PSP or and Blur seeing as its coming out before my birthday.

Thanks anto for that i was going to get it anyway but ive heard people say its not as good on the PSP.

Well the processing power of the psp is considerably less than a ps3 so its never going to be the same as the ps3 version (if thats ever released haha)..but for what its worth id say its an essential addition to your psp library and the best racing game ive played on psp bar none!

Definately go for the elite version of x box as the price is right now!

also a decent size hard drive on it as the x box drives are SO NOISY! you have to load your game disc to hard drive so the disc does not need to be spinning whilst playing the game..beleive me those drives soon fill up if you do that!

Forza 3 is so awesome though i cant keep myself away from it...even dreamt about it the other night ..lol how sad is that!

Yh ive never put them on hdd before see i used to have a core version but i sold wen i got my ps3

Yeah its a feature thats only recently been included in a firmware update after ppl complained about the noise (probably the neighbours its that loud!)
Also supposed to decrease load times in game...according to sim racing tonight it cuts a full six seconds off forza 3 load times to have the disc on the hard drive!
