Hello guys,

I am a person that is really in struggles trying to figure out which console to buy between these 2,

The only reason I want them is Gran Turismo 4.

So I need a little help from you guys to help me decide! :D

 

PS2 is 129 itself, including Gran Turismo it'll be around 170 total.

a PS3 Console + Gran Turismo 4 is somewhere around 680, it's alot more expensive BUT it can play not only GT4 but GT5 in the future!!

 

I have a budget of $400 now, should I save more for the PS3 bundle or should I just buy a PS2 with that game??

I don't mind buying used consoles if they make deals, which combos do you guys think will work best for me?

 

I like XBox 360 very much too, but I don't think Forza 2 will satisfy my needs, will GT5 be available on 360?  if it is then I'll just get a 360, if it's not then please help me decide which one to buy!~

 

all comments appreciated!

 

Thanks :)

GT5 will not be on X360. I'll get the PS2 over the PS3 if you just want that specific game. gnutux

PS2 = USD$ 129.99 PS3 = USD$ 599.99 Ever considered the price? You should get PS3 if you want GT5, if that's what you really want. If price is an issue, go for a PS2. EBGames have used PS2 for USD$89.99 gnutux

I'd save and get the PS3. You can play PS2 games on it, and you'll be able to buy GT5 in the future.

Save up and get a PS3 I think. There's GT:HD, a free downloadable game (more like a demo but it's still pretty good) and you've got GT5 coming next year. Plus, you can play GT4 on the PS3.

Hell if I didn't have one I would go with a PS2 over any next gen console available at this point in time. It gives you time for the consoles to evolve into better stages of their lifes. Not to mention that the library of games is huge.

thanks guys,

all your comments are valuable to me, I read them all and took them into considerations.

I think I would probably go for a ps3 since I would love to play gt5 as well, and it also plays ps2 games.

But... buying an PS3 also means that I would have to kick that beautiful 360 and its games out of my mind since I can only afford to own one of the powerful next gens, and I'll have to stick with it afterwards.

 So...  now the question becomes whether GT4+GT5's value >  Xbox 360's Forza2 and other games.


the question is still tough since it involve personal tastes, but I would still like to know what do you guys prefer between these 2?

 

 Thanks!

For me, I prefer the GT series to Forza series, but both are quite good. I'd still recommend the PS3 over the 360 but that's just my opinion because I think it's the best console with games like GT5, MGSIV, FFXIII, White Knight Story, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, and Jak and Daxter to be released.

360 would be a good choice too though. If you want to play GT4 you'll have to buy a PS3 for it and the upcoming GTs though.

If you only want Gt4, ps2 is the only way to go. You MUST have the driving force pro, so thats going to be another 100 out of your budget right there. I kind of disagree about forza 2 tho, I am the biggest GT fan around, but I dont think Gt4 will be able to compete with it. GT5 maybe, but that will never come to 360.
