I like them but I agree they are SEVERELY lacking on features to keep the game interesting. Especially ForzaI've never understood the appeal of sim racers like Forza and GT. They get so boring for me after like 2 races.
I've been seeing some quotes of reliable people quoting parts costs for PS4 at $279 or so - low enough he thinks that they could do $299 or $349 in fact! And that same person was quoting parts for XBone at $447 or something where he expected $499 - which seems to have come true...To me the $499 price tag definitely rules out buying both systems until major price drops. I'm betting ps4 will come in at $399. Any more and it's too much, considering it doesn't come with the move eye.
I'm a big car and motorsports fan, go to track days when I can and just love cars. Most of the ppl I know that are hardcore GT or Forza fans are car guys first, gamers second.I like them but I agree they are SEVERELY lacking on features to keep the game interesting. Especially Forza
$349 would be a no brainer purchase, I doubt it will come in at $299 unless they really want to stop selling PS3sI've been seeing some quotes of reliable people quoting parts costs for PS4 at $279 or so - low enough he thinks that they could do $299 or $349 in fact!

I don't think $399 is unlikely at all. $349 seems unlikely since PS3 hasn't dropped in price yet having them $50 apart seems off.
Very fair. I'm just surprised how large a cross-section there is between car enthusiasts and gamers. Although I suppose sim racers are more about relaxing and just driving instead of really hardcore "gaming."I'm a big car and motorsports fan, go to track days when I can and just love cars.

If I didn't love cars, I would think it is pretty boring too. Most ppl don't give a shit about driving a Porsche GT3 around Silverstone raceway... But I can do that for hours in gt/forza and love every minute of it
If Sony can come out the gate at 399 or lower I think they have this in the bag... Only thing that worries me is Sony's financial situation. They can't afford to sell at a loss I don't think.I've been seeing some quotes of reliable people quoting parts costs for PS4 at $279 or so - low enough he thinks that they could do $299 or $349 in fact!

Well do keep in mind, there is a chance for a price drop on PS3's announced today as well - but yea without dropping PS3's price down to $199 I don't see $299 happening even if they could afford it.$349 would be a no brained purchase, I doubt it will come in at $299 unless they really want to stop selling PS3s
Ya, they just put it at the end of November because they don't have a date yetxbox one preorders on amazon say they ship nov 30th ($499)
Can they realistically drop the PS3 price much more? I thought the system is still quite expensive to make.Well do keep in mind, there is a chance for a price drop on PS3's announced today as well - but yea without dropping PS3's price down to $199 I don't see $299 happening even if they could afford it.
Shrug, heard that in the past - but remember tech keeps rolling along and it's stayed steady at $300 for quite a while now - they probably have some wiggle room but thats entirely just theorycrafting on my part, no idea of the reality of how much they have.Can they realistically drop the PS3 price much more?
