I've been looking around at Xbox360's lately but I figure I better buy new incase I get that infamous red ring.

Come onnnnnnn GT5.

Ohhh I'm hopping on the bandwagon for sure, primarily because of Forza2-that game sounds amazing. I'm still finishing the building of my PS3 controller which is a lot more difficult than I thought. Then I will start on the Xbox360 one. So say end of January.

honestly, forza definitely has its plus (read: customization and online), but if that's the only game you're going to get for xbox...i would probably skip the xbox and stick with ps3 GT5...especially if they gave the A.I cars some brains so they don't keep crashing into you.

xbox is definitely more of a shooter/action console (read: halo 3, call of duty 4 which can also be had on ps3)

IT'S Done! My controller works! Brilliant, I'll make a new post.

Well I have other reasons for an Xbox360, make a controller for it too...

I might have to buy one, there was quite the 'episode' here the other day.


Oh update, after all that deciding I went with a Sharp Aquos 32" 1080p, you can slightly tell the difference in Gran Tourismo5, up close face shots in movie etc, but then again Im sitting 4ft away.

I still have to make a video of me playing PS3
