I just purchased a PS2 last night.... got Grand Turismo A-spec as well, cuz I plan to use it for practicing my driving and picking the correct line around the track. I would have liked an Xbox cuz it's got better hardware, but the fact that GT3 can't be played on Xbox was a real turnoff.

Gran Turismo that whole racing series is good.......the only reason why i bought my PSX for was because of the GT Series........then aspec was comming out....and i heard rumours about online play and linking of systems....so i picked up PS2 only fot the sole reason of the continuing GT Series.........the GTA series was just a plus for me.....lol


Look forward to seeing all u PS2 Owners online somtime around jan, feb or whenever GT4 gets released.....i'll race all u online.....most likely beat u all...haha just giving u some friendly competition....haha

XBox is awesome.

upgrade the hard drive on it, reflash the program, get it chipped and you now can download games and never have to buy them, play online on servers on the net instead of paying for an online fee. netowrk it to your pc.

what u can do with a xbox(733 mhz video game computer) is endless and is the best bang for the buck with the amounts of hacks u can do to it.

who needs to spend money on games when u can download them right to your hard drive. saves u a bundle if your an advocate(*sp) gammer.

U should try the GT4 Prologue! It rocks! I just bought that from Pac Mall...completed the "School" mode in 1.5days!

I also bought NFS Underground for PS2, it is very easy if you compare it with GT3/4

PS2's GT4 at pac mall is how much? (What about NFS U)

Since my original reason for purchasing PS2 was GT3, maybe I should check this game out!

Its all about sega dreamcast that was the first system to be killed by mods. So easy to make it play backup games, boot disc (no internal mods needed), burn an iso on a cd, bam theres your game. Plus it had so many unique games (Samba de Amigo anyone?), plus the first online console, 56k tho lol. I tried to buy every possible peripheral for it.
I had 4 controllers, 4 vmus (also a first, memory card with a screen for mini games), the samba maracas (prolly the uberest peripheral ever), 2 ddr dance pads, the keyboard (for online play), steering wheel for tokyo extreme racing 2. Had amazing games, the sonic series, samba de amigo, phantasy star online, typing of the dead, marvel vs capcom, powerstone2 (4 player 3d fighter), soul calibur, shenmue.... just off the top of my head

Now that you got me talking about it, Im gonna try to figure out how to burn these damn games, never have succesfully done it yet, but theres tons of newgroups posting ISOs. Oh plus it played VCDs with the proper boot disc.

I didn't notice nintendo gamecube up there... for the current systems between my xbox, ps2 and gamecube i find the gamecube games to be the most fun (not necessarily the more realistic)... if were talking ever.. it would have to be sega master system... nothing will ever beat the alex the kid series and ghost house

I'm assuming you've done the mod to your system, could you PM me some info on like costs and stuff of the chip, and what chip your using? I'm thinking of modding my box now that my xbox live subscription ran out. I'm sick of paying 70 bucks for games lol.

I'm using GT3 as a prep for racing, and it's SO SWEET! Their licensing for a and b licenses is awesome, great lines and way quicker turns... forget about paying Skip-Barber school, this is the ****!
