i don't need one yet. going to do the same thing i did with the PS2.
wait until the release of the next full version of Gran Turismo.
they better **** well be able to do realistic AI on this machine!
I think there is gonna be one, but from what I gather, it's just GT4 remade in HD. That's pretty much it. I think it's supposed to be identical otherwise. Only worth it if you will have a nice HD TV to display it on. I agree about the AI. 'Lesser' racers I own have much better AI; cars that are aware of your presence on the road, and don't push through you following a strict course route.
Also, the PS2 GT4 isn't compatible at this stage. There's been a list (a list released AFTER the PS3 launch, nice one Sony) of over 200 games (with quite a few big titles included) which aren't backwards compatible with the PS3. To make matters worse, there are HD issues with some TV's and certain PS3 games.
So, what I'm waiting for is the PS3 to have a price drop, and a significant one at that. I don't care about bluray, because all that's gonna do is make games more expensive. Some xbox360 here are already up to AU$120 - and I figure PS3 titles will be just as much, and even more.
I miss the good old days when a gaming console just played games. Playing movies, photos, music and all that is what I have my mac for.
