52 and holding...
Never played on a console before GT5
IRL I've raced everything from bicycles, motorcycles, Karts, Jetskis, SuperG, Downhill and of course sportscars.
Raced a 911 RSR for 10+ years including twice at the 24hrs of Daytona.
42 years old and playing GT since GT1 in 1998. Bought my PS3 just for GT5. So 299 for the PS3, about 150 for the DFGT, and 60 for the game itself. That's over $400 just to play one video game. Enjoyment of playing the game is well worth it, tho. 👍
...now back in school (law) and playing gt5 semi-regularly (when the wife lets me).
