GT5 + PS3 = Worth the price.
Permalink Closed

If anyone here has seen the Gran Turismo series of games you know how the push the most out of the Playstation consoles whether it be the PS 1 or PS 2.  Gran Turisom 5 is to be released by the end of the year and looks to stupid impressive.  With the recent price drop of the PS3 to $299 I think it is worth it considering it also plays DVDs and Blu-ray.  Gran Turismo is going to have over 1000 cars when it comes out.  Here is a link to a list of the cars.  Warning - This is a real long thread biggrin

GT5 Car List

Here is just the Monte Carlo section.....

Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS 454 ‘70
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS ‘79
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS ‘83
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe ‘87
Chevrolet Monte Carlo ‘88
Chevrolet Monte Carlo Pace Car ‘97
Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 ‘99
Chevrolet Monte Carlo Pace Car ‘99
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS ‘03
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Dale Earnhardt Edition ‘03
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Supercharged ‘04  <<--- My Car!!!
Chevrolet Monte Carlo LTZ ‘06
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS ‘05
Chevrolet Monte Carlo LT ‘06


To make the experience even better you can use a force feedback steering wheel like the one I have...

Logitech Driving Force GT

This wheel has even has a knob on it to adjust things such as brake bias while driving.

Also for the first time GT5 is going to have Nascar cars!!

but you can use the points to get a PS3, buy the game, DRIVE the '03 Monte, and maybe mod it to be just as fast as you '00. So see it's just as good and a new tranny lol

Think about it Joe, It's like Desktop Dyno! You can mod it and see how it will hold up before you drop the cash for the real thing!

Driving the '03 monte would mean I would have to buy it...and I will never buy another fwd car again...not even in a video game...lol...

EDIT: and besides if I really test it out on the streets of a video game, I'd probably get a knock at my door with a citation for going to fast in the video game from a real cop...lol

And if I bought it in the game I maybe half tempted to buy it in real life...no matter which way I look at it, this game would not be good for me...or my wallet...
