blah blah blah here we go again, take your pick. either love your PS3 or spend your whole life writing why the Xbox is apparently better although the question was never "why is your xbox better"

different systems, different games.

im in the PS3 and GT5 category. (as per the question)

my vote gose, buy the PS3 from the shops, Jb or what ever.... buy GT5.... save some cash and check ebay and pick upa 360 for 300-400bux and buy Foz 3..... best of both worlds....

Why would you buy the PS3 new? It's the more expensive console.

I still own all 3 consoles (Wii, 360, Ps3) and by far the best is the PS3. Never had any hardware problems with it, free online play and blu ray player. Have had 2 360's break on me over 20 times in the last 4 years each time I had to repair myself because microsoft always found a way for it to not be covered under warranty. I go between the two 360's when I can be bothered repairing them for the millionth time and just swap the hard drives over, meanwhile the Ps3 just works and keeps on working. I like both the 360 and the PS3 both have their own great exclusives but at this juncture if I could only have one console it would be the Ps3, save myself $70 a year in online fees and the thing doesnt break all the f**king time.

As some others said.. Just go with the one you sem to like.. I got all 3 also.. And i'm more of a 360 guy.. But that's because i was used to the xbox (original) controller.. And i got used to the feel.. The PS3 controller feels weird

So if you've had a PS2 before, then i would choose PS3.. This comes with the great benefit of free online play

If you've had an xbox before, then i'd go the 360.. Better layout on the menu, online costs does give you some more/better options, and focused more on what it is.. A games console..

and we've seen the repeated errors in the GT5 thread. My brother and my boss both have gen 1 360s, never had an error. My brothers has had a hard life in dusty and dog hair filled environments and infrequent updates. The only RROD I have had personal experience with was an xbox 360 that was used on a 40C day with shit piled on it, replaced by Microsoft, we told the guy it'd overheat.

Forza 3 you ca. Rewind if you didn't like the corner you took lol. That is just enough reason to not buy such a pos game, may swell just buy grid. Also div why do ps3 exclusives look as good, if not better in some cases if it's such an inferior machine?

Your time doesn't count if you use a rewind or cut a corner or draft someone etc etc and all your lap times are on the internets or live-nets or whatever.

You can't compare an exclusive, it's exclusive. You might as well compare OpenGL ES to DirectX 9.0 or rather the modified forms the PS3 and 360 use. You know what else uses OpenGL ES? Phones.

Maybe Brink will help you when it's released as apparently it has had the PC, 360 and PS3 developed seperately.

This would finally be a proper way to compare the consoles. They must have put a fair bit of $$$ into making this game if separate development is the case.

still isn't quite a true comparison as the company may possibly favour one console over the others so put more time/effort/money into that console, or may simply have more knowledge about how to push the limits of 1 console more than the other.

choose forza 3. over gt5, even forza 2, i mean i love GT5 to death, but that whole "real driving simulator" is the biggest load of rubbish, might aswell play NFS hot pursuit 2.

Forza is more accurate in just about all the ways. GT5 is more or less just a fun game, no real challenge (besides the endurance races)

xbox has their system more figured out than ps3 though, alot easier and better UI, plus i havent had any game or crashing issues. my old ps3 kept gettin ylod, fixed it over and over again, and finally i put it in the oven too long the last time and i cracked a little black thing on my board, so i sold it for 170 bucks on ebay :D

now my xbox has been goof for over 3 years, played about 14hrs a day.

But GT5 has sooo many cars, lovin the cars :D

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
