eBay and a aunt in the states. Got them for $40 each delivered so £20 at the tme and 10 post to the uk.


Without getting drawn into the broken record shite being sprouted by the same old twats, you got ripped on the prices of those blu-rays. Buy from Australia, better exchange rate, cheaper shipping and they aare the same region code for blu-ray as us, so no chance of an upgrade making them useless.

It was games not blu rays not epic games Virtua Tennis, NBA, Madden, and Blazing Angels but not bad for £20 each.

Read ST^'s quote and mis-understood. I still wouldn't waste £20 on any of those titles though.

F1 = AAA title?

there are plenty of AAA titles for the xbox, and playstation3 will get quite a few of them aswell. Just give it some time. The xbox does have a better game catalog as it is atm, but im sure the playstation will shine in 6-12 months. Every exclusive title isn't AAA.

Are Crackdown and Dead Rising AAA? Is Forza 2 really on the same level of Gran Turismo? I wasn't listing AAA games, because Motorstorm (imo) isn't, and neither is NGS. And no, F1 isn't, unless you're an F1 fan (it's definite waaaaaaaaaaay up there with the best F1 games).

These are just the titles I feel are worth looking at and saying "oh, the other console doesn't have that".

lol for £20 each the games are well worth it like i said not epics but they are good games. Virtua Tennis especially. They were all just 2 player games thats the only reason i picked those. And Madden with the motion controler is brilliant.

F1 on PS3 is a joke, Crackdown, Dead Rising, Resistance and Motorstorm are nothing special and the question is will Gran Turismo 5 get even close to the same level as Forza 2 (iirc GT5 has unbreakable cars so it isn't "race simulator" by any means and no direct contender to Forza 2) :p Currently 360 has Gears of War and Forza 2, that's it. Currently PS3 has nothing at all even close to that level, that's it (resistance AAA? Oh come on, we have seen similar shit for ages :S Sure, its a "decent" launch game but that's it - dozen of similar and better games about which you can't say about Gears of War for example).

Sony should release those new pads soonish (rumble + better motion sensing = current pads will be useless in multiplayer :S) and if those pads are any good I would recommend getting PS3 over 360. PS3 is well worth it purely for BR-player and decent PS2 BC.

Would recommend getting Wii first though :p

Alot of the rumor forums say GT5 will come with both modes Real and Arcade so you chose damage or not. And also the choice on if you want to do al races online or vs the computer. Not confirmed just shit i have read.

I honestly belive when GT5 comes out it will be better that Forza except for the Custom paint jobs. I think this because GT2, 3 and 4 have all came out and raised the bar and kept the title the Real Racing Simulator.

And the GOW resistance thing is getting dull GOW will need to compare to MGS not a release game. I think if you compare Resistance to Project Dark Zero a release 360 game that got 10/10 in the xbox mag. Resistance really is a AAA game.

Lol Resistance isn't a AAA game? wtf you smoking GEARS blows that game away and GEARS is an AAA game noone can deny that the only reason people think Resistance is good is because there is fuck all else worth buying on the PS3.

Dead Rising is a great game recieved positive reviews from just about everyone.

Crackdown is good too.


Forza 2 better then GT ? erm yeah? GT doesn't even have damage on the cars ffs.

The F1 games have always been fucking shit but they are the only F1 games out so does that make them good? nooooooooooooooo


PGR2

We might aswell include Bioshock and Halo 3 because they are only weeks away from being released when you think about it.

Sorry the PS3 currently does not compete with the 360 at this present time however in a year or 2 when decent games get released in Japan then another 8 months here we might see something :)

You can't reallly compare GOW to MGS though because MGS is still in production and is along way off to be fair so they still have time to touch it up.

MGS though gonna be awsome and i am sure alot of PS3s will get sold when that game gets released.

The same with Halo 3.

You can GOW came out after 1 year of 360 developemnt if MGS comes out around a year after release you can compare them.

So if you consider Gears of War AAA-game and find it unfair to compare Resistance to it how can you say Resistance is AAA? :p PDF was shit when it was released and so is Resistance - both done "well enough" for launch game but AAA? Hah, how many A's you want to add on Gears of War then? Dozen? MGS is probably awesome game but it's whole different genre and can't really be compared to these tittles.

"Real Racing Simulator" has always been considered as a joke, GT5 might be the first one to stand up to that tittle but that's something we'll see later on. GT's have always been fun games though.

People only think Resistance is good because there's nothing else worth buying? Forza beats GT because of tacked on unrealistic car damage? Do MS pay you to love them or are you really this sad?

Just look at PDZ is a prime example of a good launch title but the game was actually shit the only reason alot of people got it was because there was bugger all else really worth spending the cash on.

Resistance is just like this i'm afraid.

I said compared to a 360 release game it is AAA as in a fiar bit better than the 360 game i compared it too. Not compared to GOW.

Who buy every gamer i know who is a racing gamer loves and rates the GT series i have never heard some one call it a Joke. Except in blinded xbox ps fights. Like i said it has always set the bar in console racing games for me and my firends.

As a post-release download, maybe :p There wont be crash damage out of shelf due to lack of time it seems.

The reason they delayed launch was too increase realism on the cars and on crash damage. I have not seen a report saying it has been removed. Aslso the delay means an Italian car maker normally not in the game :) and a Veyron :)

And i know everyone can make there own mind up but saying Resistance is shit boggels me even the biggest sony hater i know who played it said he would love it with a 360 controler IE game is great but he hates the sony controler.

Well, I'm getting my info from youtube (lol) but please, watch this:

YouTube - Forza Motorsport 2 Crash
[youtubevid]k5-_46GKB5U[/youtubevid]

then tell me why the front of his car is still generally intact? probably not because of realism :)

Ok, we have totally different "AAA" standards then :p In my standards game has to earn AAA by being excelent in whole gaming business (including PC and consoles). By those standards Gears of War earns it easily but Resistance has absolutely no chance.

Nope not got anything reliable since then but its good they guy says we cant do it in good enough detail for GT5.

Link said:
He also says adding the perfect damage system would mean changing the physics model of the game, and modelling each panel of every car separately, both normal and crumpled, with different lighting and shadows. Again, if other games can do it, why can't GT? They're not exactly short of time.

He did say, however, that crash damage could possibly be delivered as a post-release download, and that downloadable cars were a certainty.

The answer to why cant they is because nobody has realistic grapics Forza like has been mentioned is not all that and i cant remember from my mates 360 but dose Forza change the shadow of the car when you dent it?

If its true it has been delayed by a year to late 2008 like the Link says i think it will have damage on it.

And the downloadable cars sounds good i wonder how that will work if it will be new models or speacial editions.

You guys realise you are all being blind fanboy idiots don't you? And that you have not made any new points for about 5 pages? Or that you are never going to change each others opinions? And that you are boring everyone else?

On this page we discoved Forza has rubbish damage so that was new. And also GT5 is delayed by a year but will still not have damage that was new too.

We learnt that in Forza 2 you can set car damage to 1) off 2) simulation 3) cosmetic (on that clip it was off since there was no information of which parts took damage) :p

No idea does Forza change the shadow of the car when you dent it but can check it out later on - that's not exactly the first thing I'm looking from a "Real Racing Simulator" (hell, even GT1 looks good enough :S) :p Would be very surprised if GT5 would look worse than Forza 2 but I'm not after "bling bling" and we'll see if GT5 runs as smooth as Forza 2 (60fps).

You guys realise that NONE of these games comes even close to a real racing simulator right? They're self-important arcade games. They may be good fun, but lets not get silly here. If you want a simulation you have to play GTR/GTR2 on the PC. With a steering wheel.

I'd say the rear bumper falling off suggests that it wasn't 'off' ?
