mediocre driver sales >>>>>>> advanced driver sales

All manufacturers care about is sales. They will mostly try and stick to the formula that made them famous which was a very realistic racing game, but the end task is pleasing consumers, and driving more sales.

What I dislike is that 6 years ago when there was only the PS2, etc... there was no such thing as "online updates". You buy the game and play it how it shipped.

I think even if the game was super-hard, It would still make tons of bank, but you're right. Which sucks.

Just setup my home race simulator today. Using an Obutto game cockpit + Logitech G27 race wheel + 40" Sony Bravia 1080p LCD.

Still waiting for my new Sony 5.1 wireless surround sound system in the mail, and probably going to buy a Buttkicker pro gamer 2 today.



Quick pics from my phone. Gonna do a youtube vid once it's finished.

That is amazing.

I have this game pre-ordered too. Nice little $5 discount from Bestbuy when I pre-ordered it in June. This will be the first GT game I own. Only played GT 2 for a little bit once. It'll probably take some time to get used to the controls and physics.

Probably wait until after first of the year to get a 3D TV. And the first one will probably go in my living room.

I had a hard enough time explaining to my gf why I was dropping $800 on a LCD TV for the spare bedroom.

The price is $56.99 with $4.99 shipping?

Did they change it?

Very excited for this game. Gonna invest in a wheel/peddles too.

Think it would be fine to hook up the wheel and stuff to a computer desk? I have a flat screen that I use for mac/PS3 on the desk, and don't want to have a whole chair and stuff for one game.

Check out the Logitech Driving Force GT.

Just clamp it on your desk and you're good to go.

Cool, do you need to buy clutch/gas/brake separately?

Edit: I see, there's no clutch? That's kind of dumb.

Preordered.

[pete's montreux]

I'm going to wait a month or two on this one. I want to see how many hours I'll be working in the Winter to gauge how much time I'll have to play this. Buying the game and [possibly] a gaming chair + gaming wheel with clutch might be a monumental waste of money.

Finally beat all the challenges on GT5P. About a month until GT5 comes out, luckily I have 2K11 and FIFA11 to tide me over.

I was able to get my G27 wheel on Amazon for $230 w/ free shipping. That's only $80 more than the GT Driving Force, and you get a clutch and detachable 6-speed shifter.
