slowly but surely the ps3 will start making more games with better graphics, physics, motion and just plain out better than what the 3fixme will produce. then the fanboys of the 3pus.y will realize that hardware that will last is better than somewhat good software like "i gotta have gears of war, halo 3, and forza 2 now!" on a crappy plastic casing. developers will definately lean in more towards the ps3 for its potential and force. just look at this game and its not even the REAL FINISHED PRODUCT, so the actual game is going to be huge; just like mgs

Yea this is a 2007 build , imagine the 2009 one ! I think they should fix the outline of some shadows though , not big but still would be nice . They should put a couple more tracks when the damage coomes out for Prologue soon. And i think they should add a couple more mercesdes benz and a few more hot hatchbacks would be nice . I hate the new M3 tho, it Revs way too mush on its first gear and i paid so much for it on the game 92 000  , now i need to start saving again for the ferrari ! I cant wait till they improve the onine mode , its got great potential

Hmm.. pretty well done for both Sony & Polyphony Digital, great game indeed. Just wait until GT5 is released! Imagine the amount of sales they'd have. Ohh.. and I noticed that none of the games are for the 360
