No, folks, we haven't accidentally spliced something over from our video game obsessed friends at Kotaku. We swear this is auto-related. Bear with us a moment while we explain. We've held off on buying an XBOX 360, stoically standing by and watching as friend after friend purchased one. Until today we didn't realize how much of a necessity it would become to those of us car-obsessed folks. Today we saw the amazing screen shots of the Nissan GT-R from the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 and then, sealing the deal, we saw the trailer for the Simpsons "Grand Theft Scratchy" game coming out in November. Any time you mix a send-up of GTA and the Simpsons, we've just got to get it. So Microsoft, we feel you may have won this round. Curses!
