Gran Turismo 5...the best driving sim yet!!

Kinger, no problem. It was me joking around; sometimes as head schill for high rez music here I get too carried away and feel like I am preaching. I must back off.

HOWEVER, this thread has pushed me over the PS3 limit. I have been toying with the idea for some time, and while my boys (all but grown now) have every game machine known to man in the basement "lair" we don't have a PS3. And while I can do all BluRay, SACD, DVD-Audio already via my Oppo 83 SE, it only does 24/88.2k digital (de-embedded HDMi via Atlona/Monopirce, etc..., see Atlona thread on HiRez Music Circle) the first gen PS3 will do 24/176 PCM'd SACD to my Weiss....AND will turn my music room/HT into a 7.1 surround racing circuit!! I gotta do this!!!! It's mostly redundant, wasteful and hedonistic...but I gotta do this!!

Maybe this thread will shed some light on what Woodsea is saying.........

Ahhh yes. I see now.

Thanks for the link, and thanks to all for the explanation.

Ted, yes. The picture you posted is what I'm talking about.

Also, there's not only audio setting on the PS3, there's settings within GT5 as well.

Game on.

Bob

I am absolutely certain that he will!!

When I "broke down" and finally bought an Xbox a few months ago and installed it in the HT, I had forgotten how kick ass it is to play video games in a really nice HT setup with a huge screen!

Enjoy!

In fact, wally world had a $100 gift card when you buy a 160gb ps3 for $300. That bought the extra controller and GT5.

Wow, how long is this going to last? I looked online but didn't see any info.

I could be over. I got the tip from this link.
http://www.gotapex.com/got-deals/185206-amazon-160gb-ps3-for-298-30-with-100-gc.html
So I went to walmart. Nothing was marked. Grabbed the ps3 and asked the clerk if it had a $100 gift card. He said yes and rung it up. Then went back and bought the controller and game. Give them a call.

As soon as I get one, Eclein, one more paycheck. I'll have to boot up my internet speed, too.

Thanks for the info, MaxCast, I'll mention it when I buy.

Bob in St. Louis · « **Reply #55 on:** 19 Jan 2011, 01:14 am »

Are you in front of your PS3 right now?

Bob in St. Louis · « **Reply #56 on:** 19 Jan 2011, 01:20 am »

Actually Rich, if I remember correctly, the download was like 45 minutes. Then it was another 30-40 to install the download. It might be 9:00 before you smell burnt rubber.
