GT5 will be just as gay as the rest...graphics dont impress me,gameplay does and GT5 will be no where near as good a simulator as forza 2

but a reliable console would be nice

if you look through some xbox forums it makes little difference as they break wether they are lay down or upright

the problems ive read about are console's freezing,setting on fire,powerpacks melting,scratching discs and a few have blew up

microsoft have made a shite product which was rushed imo but there again i know people are having probs with the ps3 so i might just play games on a pc from now on
