Also, just long enough for the 'I just bought Forza' to no longer be a viable excuse not to buy GT5.
Allow me to apologize to all those I told it was coming in december.
They did confirm 950 cars and rollovers.
I'm a huge MOTORSPORTS fan! I made a consumer choice to buy a PS3, because it is the superior machine. Gran Turismo is the best racing sim for my chosen console, so its my game. It's like your local sports team... they might suck right now, but hey.... they're your team. *Cough*Canucks*Cough*
For the 360 having a 1 year headstart, GT has caught up to within 6 months, and will have more content. Context bitches, context!
If you own either console, you are doing yourself a huge disservice if you ignore either title. With most of the consoles already in people's hands, are these games really in competition?
One more thing... I've been playing GT 5 for over a year. It's called Prologue, and it's awesome! The graphics and physics are top notch, and its online. The sim racers at the official playstaion forums, with my brilliant guidance (HA!) have developed healthy league racing 3 nights a week, with some of theee fastest guys in the US, period. There have been 4 official Time Trial contests, and racing friends of mine have podiummed in and won all of them. We qualify, so everyone finds equal talent on the track. We're fair, but tough, and our racing is of a high caliber.
We're not so different than you LeMons nuts (ok, we're not that crazy) We know you don't need a million cars and tracks (or dollars) to have a good time racing! We've made the best of Prologue, and I myself have organized our monthly endurance racing series. We've done 8hrs of Fuji, 12 Hours of High Speed Ring and The Daytona Road 500, just last week. A true 24 hr event was being planned for late November, as a welcome to what we thought would be a December release for the full game, but now we're focusing on mid length events to keep us occupied... you know, since we have some extra time to kill :(

...in an effort to include every car in the world.
Great. I can drive my POS Saturn in a video game. Isn't that just bleeding awesome.

Sebring, PT Cruiser, Avenger, Nitro, Durango...
I wouldn't throw a 300C out of the garage though.

But then again, Gran Turismo and him are awesome like that.

What stinks though is that they bothered to include car models for all those cars that are unavailable to drive.

But I have in my closet the PS1 from the mid 90s and it worked last time I used it back then...Never had to fix it. My friend has burned through 4 Xbox 360s...FOUR red rings.

My friend did that and went through like 7 Xboxes.
My other friend who got a new one had one ring, but his came back like a week after sending it back to Microsoft. Didn't cost him a bit. They're super efficient now about this.

Stop it! Is this going to be the beginning of a Shamefest?
09/25/09
Except for that one time in Tijuana....
09/25/09
And that time when you made me give our kids away.
09/25/09
Look how much of a positive effect it has had on our relationship! Now we can ogle Ford GTs at will without worrying about the kids!
09/25/09
Well, that's true. It's hard to ogle with little ones around.

- Chrysler was agruably atop the US triumverate;
- The Ford GT had not yet been produced;
- GM was ascendant;
- Fiat and Nissan were oft mentioned in whispers of bankruptcy;
- An Enzo had not yet been wrecked.
My how times have changed. At this point they should just release whatever they have, with a Stig avatar played by Duke Nukem.

The GT5 version has nicer graphics, better textures and reflections and a higher polygon count. On the other hand, there's something unnatural about it all, it feels too spare. And the cars are so excessively glossy they look like they're made of porcelain. It's apparent the graphics haven't been really updated at all from GT5 Prologue.

Wait...
09/22/09
There's a big difference between car-porn rendered on a bank of pc's and car-porn rendered on a ps3/xbox360.
09/22/09
This looks like the GT5 prologue menu screen, which is pre-rendered(no need to do it in real-time).
That being said, the GT5 vid looks much better, and that's all most people will notice.
09/22/09
@bens: It also probably helps that the GT5's vid is available at 720p where as Forza's is a dinky video.

In Forza's video the reflections on the side of the car are pretty rough (jagged) but the GT5 is much smoother (glass like)
Winner: GT5 by a wide margin.

/ edited. But that's not to say that i haven't seen that problem before but I was wrong in this case.

Forza 3, probably all.
