because as of right now the Slim does not play old ps1 and ps2 games.
Which you know is important.
I love the GT series, sigh i dunno if i will get this now

i can not wait for this game. can't wait to supe up a 370z and just go all out. also, i think it is rumored to have full 3D head tracking system.

Wanna know why MGS4 was never out of XBOX?

Here is why:

And thats ALL THANKS to BluRay!!

I never said Bluray was crap. I enjoy Bluray, and that's the majority of what my PS3 is used for.

Killzone 2 is ******* outstanding.

The GT series stopped evolving. The graphics got better, but the gameplay stayed the same. The physics are trash. The AI is trash. How is that simulation? I can't compare Forza to GT5 since GT5 has yet to release (which is sad considering there will be TWO Forzas released before hand, with Forza 3 dominating the **** out of Forza 2), so I can only compare it to past GT games. Hell, even the creator of GT said that Forza does more than GT does (I gotta dig that quote up)... he compared the games as watches, with Forza being the super multi-functional watch and GT being a less functional, highly (can't think of the exact wording) polished watch.

Will post more on this later, got an appt.

Every ps3 plays ps1 games.

most PS3 owners have PS2 and if not then it's a $100.00 for a PS2, probably much cheaper used. It would be nice to have backwards compatibility, but your getting Bluray for $299.99. They had to have cut something to support the low productions cost.

Wait.. you really think the driving physics of GT5p is less than what forza has to offer... the ONE and ONLY thing ill give to forza is the online crap - but i want a simulator... When it comes to track accuracy and feeling the cars weight shift ... you cant touch GT... if you are comparing crap to GT4 then get out of town man.. that game is ancient... but GT5p has a million times better physics than forza... I hope you play both games in the "professional" setting... and not the "advanced" ....

your right on point

MGS4 was how long ago? The next Metal Gear is coming out for the Xbox!! There is a new Halo coming out actually 2 more coming very soon. Say what you want if you don't like the series or not they will sell like crazy!!

Again I point to Tekken 6. Tekken was designed on PS3 hardware yet there is no Graphical differences what at all between the 2 versions. Namco has always been pro Sony so I wouldn't call them being biased.

Look at the PS2 sells still but not the most technical system out there. Hell for about 2 years the PS2 was still outselling the PS3. Its about installed user base. Not about Graphic power Microsoft learned that last round. They had the better system but people still flocked to the PS2. It doesnt matter how much untapped power there is in the PS3 if no one takes advantage of it it might as well as not exist. Obviously sony isnt even taking advantage of it if you still talking about its still in there.

Installed user base is what matters! People have the console in there homes and playing it.

Here are the numbers. This is from 6th of August 09

Console installed bases in NA and Europe according to Activision Blizzard - Gamezine.co.uk

According to this report the gap will widen not close. :tiphat::stirthepot:

lol i dont' even know why we debating about 360 vs ps3, it seems like the wii is kicking both those consoles combined lol.

:bowrofl:

i was gonna buy a ps3 just for gt5, then im like F it, for a ps3 steering wheel and game and hdmi cable will be like 700-800 bucks...id rather mod my car for that! but htis new ps3 slim looks hot...sooooo i might just look back into it. regardless, im still getting forza 3 too. at least i know it will come out for sure lol

Asheth, actually the gap is closing in slowly, now with the PS3 slim coming out it might even get closer, but Microsoft already has an ace up their sleeve which they are about to drop soon (remove one console and lower the top console price to 299).

Real numbers currently:

The PS3 has slowly been eating away at that 10 million gap over the past 6 months. The 360 beats it in overall sales each month, but by less each time.

Now on the point about Forza v. GT5, the GT series has always been the premier driving simulation. Yes the AI has been below par, the cars do not get damaged, but in terms are accuracy and precision the GT series is still number one (based on GT5p and what information we know of Forza 3). Now with the full GT5 comes out and Forza 3, we will better be able to determine the higher power.

Those who try to argue a 360 v. a PS3 are just hurting themselves. Each one beats the other in one category and loses in another. The PS3 has the potential to have better graphics, but Sony limits itself by out casting developers and game studios with no support for the system which leaves them finding their own way to make the game. Also, (not sure if they lifted it yet) studios who develop for the PS3 cannot share "developer kits" with other studios to help each other when developing for the PS3, per Sony requirements.

360 was out for an extra how long? ... and the headtracking is NOT going to work - think about it... your one tv screen is in front of you... you look right...and the screen in front of you pans lol... how are you going to be able to look at the screen and look right?

This topic was never made to get PS3 vs 360, but people came in knocking on this fabolous game calling it trash and clinging to Forza 3. When I see responses like that I couldn't just sit and watch how biast people's opinions are, but to each his own.
