Can Somebody "Sell Me" on the XBOX 360 and Forza

[hogger129]

I had an Xbox 360 awhile ago and had Forza 3, but never really played it much in comparison to my PS3 and GT5. I was just wondering if someone could sell me on an Xbox 360 and Forza 4.

By the way, the reasons I have my PS3 is because the online is free, I feel there is a better selection of games, and I can watch movie rips on it through my Fat32 drive.

What are the strong suits of the Xbox 360 over Ps3 and Forza over GT5?

I guess I'm just sick of Gran Turismo. It's fun yeah, but it doesn't have anywhere near the realism of Forza IMO. Let's face it, I'm sick of having 12 different Skylines. There are other cars in the world.

Convince me why Xbox 360 and Forza 4 are better than Ps3 and GT. I'm not a fanboy of either system so I am open to any and all criticism of both systems and games.

Thanks.

I don't think either one is way better than the other, I still play gt5 myself. But forza 4 is the better game. One thing I will say is that if you have been playing gt5 with a wheel then you need to invest in a wheel that will work with forza as well

If Forza 3 wasn't enough for you then Forza 4 shouldn't be the sole reason to by a new system imo.

I agree with zr1chris. The improved tire model helps tremendously, and there are a lot of DLC cars now, but Forza 4 is less of a step forward and more like what FM3 should have been. Also to really get the most out of the game you have to pay for XBL Gold so you can race online, etc.

However, if you're looking forward to Horizon, I'd go for it.

Forza 4 is not a 'better' game, it's more fun. The reason why you should get an XBOX is because it's more community friendly. This is the best console to share info and play (online) with friends. Forza is great for playing online and I really enjoy our races with the club. I also have a PS3 with GT5, good game, but I can't enjoy it like I do with Forza. Hope this helps 👍

Even if you like GT5 more than F4, it's never bad to have an XB at home! And don't forget about apps like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and soon also IE!
