Very smart, especially since you saved the 30 bucks. I love my PS3 but they are less than reliable. Mine has been rebuilt once, while under warranty thankfully.

For about 6 months I had a nice quiet PS3... because the fan never came on! :lol: Who knew? Now it is so loud I have to turn the TV up to compensate for all the noise it makes.

I thought the only real problems they had were the blu-ray lasers going bad? Please tell me there aren't any overheating issues as I've deal with that enough already with my 360s.

It's the new Slim 120GB model and I know it's smaller, but I'm hoping all previous PS3 bugs were worked out of it.

Oh, and I decided to buy a 1-year extended warranty for $27. Was that a smart move or should I have just avoided spending that?

On a PS3 slim? Yeah it was very wise, because i bet Sony removed the cooling system that the PS3 had to lower the cost, so it will probably set on fire within 2-3 weeks of casual play.

It doesn't look as cool as the old ones either. It's not glossy.
 
Don't worry about the cooling on the PS3 slim, there is a HUGE ASS fan in there to keep things running nice and cool.

It's not an opinion. It's ignorance.

You've gone around touting along the lines of, "What I say is final!"
Click to expand...

Not really. The only thing that I've talked about that I am not willing to change my mind about is rewind.

McLaren
Nothing I have said has been wrong. I'm not the only person on this forum who is trying to figure out how you come to your opinions. Joey has, Dev has, even Exorcet has. But everytime we do, you bring forth another argument that sometimes, has nothing to do with what was said.
Click to expand...

And what do all those people have in common? Forza fans.

McLaren
Look back at what you've said. You think the livery editor will be abused & shouldn't be in GT. You think rewinding is cheating, yet B-Specing is completely different. You believe you know what game has the more realistic physics, and that you are excerpt from playing said games to come to those "opinions". You have even, by some un-forsaken action, brought up Halo fanboys in regards to a review about Forza 3's demo....
Click to expand...

I've said these things, yes. What was wrong?

McLaren
The only thing I continue to be baffled at is how you of all people come to such ideas. You've been better than this in the past, but your posts as of lately have been equal to that of the posters at FM.net & that's NOT a good thing if I have to bring that up, as I detest most of those people. Someone has already said the revealing of GT's release date has shown your true colors, and while I tried to believe that wasn't true, you've been proving me wrong over & over these past few days.
Click to expand...

I dont know what you mean by true colors but, yes, the delay ticked me off with PD and Sony showing that I am not as bias as you may think I am.

As I said before me and others are calling Turn 10 out. They claimed they had the best graphics, best physics, and were the definitive racing game of this generation.

You know what happens when a sports player comes out and claims he is the best at everything? He better back it up on the field/court. If not he deserves to get everything thrown at him like Turn 10 deserves everything that is thrown at them. If he backs it up, which Turn 10 hasn't backed up anything they've said, then he is let loose.

McLaren
To be quite honest, your posts are ones I expect from some of these new people, not long time members.👎

As I said I'm just calling Turn 10 out. That talked the talk and now they can't walk the walk. It's their problem, not mine.

You have. You've repeatedly pushed your idea of GT on others as if you know what's best.

1)Thanks for proving my point; you've taken that in another direction.
2)What does it matter if they are? You're still the one being called out on your base-less opinions.
I've said these things, yes. What was wrong?
Click to expand...
You don't know the livery editor will always be abused.
Rewinding isn't cheating if B-Spec isn't.
You haven't played the competitors' games, so you have no actual opinion on physics vs. physics.
Halo had nothing to do with that review. You've even admitted this already.

That's what's wrong. Your opinions are full of stupid logic.
I dont know what you mean by true colors but, yes, the delay ticked me off with PD and Sony showing that I am not as bias as you may think I am.

You are one of the most bias here. Don't attempt to tell me otherwise.

Click to expand...
You're not calling Turn10 out at all, you're making up dumbass reasons for why rewind & livery editors shouldn't be in GT. You're just being a GT fanboy upset that people that may actually like Forza features in a GT game.

Again, you're not calling anyone out, you're just being a cry baby about Forza features.
 
McLaren, would you mind stopping this rant here?
I think we get the point: You're not gonna be lovers.

Sorry, but I'm not ranting. I'm pointing out, again, where Earth continues to post illogical thoughts.

Rewind is a stupid feature for a racing sim in my opinion, and I would not like seeing it put into GT5.
 
Seismica
But apparently B-spec mode has everything to do with the rewind feature :irked:
Click to expand...
Why not? You folks like to claim Rewind takes all the skill & thrill out of racing. Well hell, why not do it literally with B-Spec?
 
You know, I like B-Spec, but I don't like rewind. Its odd. Granted, I got a lot of fun out of B-Spec in tuning cars for the AI to drive against each other (because, considering how bad the AI was in GT4, why not pit bad against bad?) and didn't really use it for scumming races other than for cash, but I still can't really explain it.


Back to the pictures from the OP, the car models themselves look fairly even (maybe a slight edge to GT5), the interiors are GT5 extremely better and the environments look quite a bit nicer in Forza. I'd give the edge to GT, mostly because I'm an interior nut for racing games.

B-Spec was just a way to do the 24 hour races. Even 8 hours at sped up B-spec is a large amount of time to be playing a video game.

But even so, you were still limited by the poor AI of the B-spec driver, the only situation where they would certainly win, is if they were in a much better car, which if thats the case, there is no point doing it yourself anyway.

But if the race is in the least bit challenging, B-spec is useless, but rewind could allow you to win the race, therefore lessening the challenge. The Vauxhall VX220/Opel Speedster manufacturer event race being one that was near impossible on B-spec.

BD does not give better graphics than DVD - that is entirely down to the systems and the programmers. You can just get more data on a BD compared to a DVD.

BD can store much more data than a DVD thats y u can get much better graphics on it. thats y a DVD film has not the quality of a BD film. i mean u can store much more graphics on it.
 
This graphics, juicy as hell, can be done even with PS3, but there have to be 16 cars at once on the screen and that's really problem to do in the same quality.

But movie and game are utterly different stories. Game resolution doesn't come from disc format, but from game core which takes only a fraction of space on either disc. Prologue download is something about one gig with all necessary to run game and how amazing graphics it has!

When will people learn?

Higher capacity discs only give more content.

Both consoles are limited by ram (512 for PS3 and 522 for Xbox 360) which makes disc space moot in terms of graphics. If they were limited to 700mb cd's then graphics would suffer but a game engine is only about a gig (leaving plenty of space for content on standard dvds)

Plenty?? Dont think so. A lot of Developers are struggling getting all their HQ textures, sfx, music... on limited DVD size. Some games even have to use multiple dvds :)

Where do you think textures are stored? Do you think they come out of thin air?

The answer is no, they are stored on the disc. Larger capacity disc means larger, less compressed textures = more graphical car porn.
 
I'm a self confessed GT Fanboy but I really wish PD would lighten up the cockpit view of the guages ans so forth like Forza.

Just a bit too dark.

Did you ever notice how nobody else uses text speak in this forum?
 
@ Devedander:

No, their tango sucks :) 👎

Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Just stop.
