How much money have you spent on GT5P

[semilife]

I was just wondering roughly how much real money ($ £ etc) you have spent on hardware etc to getting the current set up you are playing GT5P on.

Ok here goes I spent £300 on the PS3 system itself, £20 for the copy of GT5P (PAL), had to shell out another £600 on a 40" Full HD television to get the best out of it. Another £60 on a steering wheel, I haven't got any gaming seats etc as I don't take the game that seriously.

So all in all £980 to play GT5P quite a sum of money me thinks .

I would be interested how much the rest of you guys spent on your setups (in total), and would be interested in some pics if you want of your setups.

Too much

Philips 42" $1050
PS3 $550
G25 $270

I never thought that I would need an HDTV, but the visuals of GT are just spectacular. The wheel was more of a luxury purchase as I already had a DFP, but I'm glad that I had made the switch.

 

[=ReBeL=]

Pioneer plasma 2100£
Surround sound about 500£ (amplifier + speakers) + good headphones 90£ (for late night racing)
PS3 400£ (bought before price reduction)
G25 steering wheel 150£
Copy of Japanese GT5P about 30£ (december 2007)
Copy of European GT5P about 20£

Total 3290£ (don't tell my missus )

 

[Worst_Driver]

450$ on a PS3
50$ on a GT5P NTSC copy
And a DFP with a homemade cockpit FREE:tup:

 

[ripping_silk]

seat -$500
50" plasma - $4500
Pioneer LX70 amp - $2800
$NZ9049 - about 3000GBP or 6000USD

although the amp and tv were not solely for GT5p ( I keep trying to tell myself !)
and i could add another 11,000 for speakers, but they were bought a few years ago now.

 

[supersonic-88]

PS3 - $520
G25 - $300
32" LCD TV - $700

The TV is an old SD TV, and the structure to hold wheel was made at Dad's work. PS3 bought off Ebay with 4 games and 2 controllers.

Yes. I got the PS3 and game and tried playing it on my old Panasonic box, no fun. So a TV was bought 2 days later. I don't watch much TV, maybe 2 hours a week.

 

[=ReBeL=]

Yes! I bought my TV for Playstation 3, I bought Playstation 3 for Gran Turismo!

I see no-one paid for any GT-TV content? Can't say I'm surprised.

 

[semilife]

Well I needed a new TV so I was just looking for an excuse to spend some hard earned dollars on one , so....yes the TV was part of the master plan, I bought the PS3 specifically in preparation for the GT5P game.

 

[Christhedude]

Good news When I went from my old DFP to a G25, I was stunned by the quality of the wheel (especially the pedals).

 

[Blitz187]

Yup I bought the TV and PS3 solely for GT... but I didnt know Id have to WAIT THIS LONG.....

I cant wait... I'll probably let everyone know how cool it is anyway on some thread somewhere lol

 

[cpp214]

The following list illustrates why I am so frustrated with PD for
taking so long to release GT5

I bought all of this stuff with the intention of using it to play GT5P (and to a lesser extent, games like Grand Theft Auto and F1CE) I even put off buying a PS3 until after GT5P was released last Spring, thinking that GT5 was coming close behind, and would have already been released by last Christmas or maybe this spring

40GB PS3 = $399
Upgrade to 320GB hard drive = $109
HDMI cable = $30
26" VIZIO HDTV (720p) = $440
G25 racing wheel = $250
DFGT racing wheel (yeah, I got another wheel after I got the G25 )= $98 (what I paid after trading in a few games at GameStop)
Wheelstand Pro = $179
PAL Edition of GT5P = $38 off eBay
NTSC Edition of GT5P = $39

All this stuff adds up to $1582

I guess I justify this kind of expense by looking at it this way: I get at least two or three hours of enjoyment out of GT5P everyday. I don't really take vacations, spend a lot on clothes, or kids. So I think that in the long run the money will have been well-spent...at least that's what I tell myself

 

[Shaun]

$92 Aus dollars

$42 For JPN version of ebay (because i couldn't wait )

I think i may treat myself to a playseat when Gt5 comes out.....
