Since both systems have become quite affordable i've been planning on getting one. Now for my problem: I like racing games and i wanna race on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. that pretty much narrows it down to an Xbox and Project Gotham Racing 1 or an PS2 and GT4.

My question for you is: What game has the better Nordschleife and the better looking cars? I haven't seen either games running ever, always been a pc gamer, but you can't get any games with the ring on the pc since Gran Prix Legends and that was from the 3DFX ages Smile

GT4 is pretty awesome , but from a console stand point I would get an xbox, XBMC alone is worth the purchase. Does FORZA have the Nürburgring ring?

yea it does , read this review on FORZA mate

And in comparing Forza’s Nurburgring versus Gran Turismo’s, I noticed that Forza’s had far less trees blocking the landscape as the Xbox can draw the horizon farther out than the PlayStation 2 can. Nurburgring also sports more detail on the Xbox than its PS2 brethren – there’s a lot more graffiti written on the road in Forza, and thus more accurately reflects the real “Ring”.

I didn't even know about this game, yes it does have the Nordschleife, and some interesting cars. Xbox indeed seems to be the better choice.

another thing: Can you run the XBMC on an unmodded Xbox? Not sure about that

not it has to be modded (either a mod chip or a software mod)

You really have to look at what system has the games you want and decide

Yeah i looked it up myself, doesn't run on unmodded systems. But still, i'm leaning more and more towards the Xbox...

Well thanks for your thoughts and opinions guys

I would always go for an xbox myself, as I have owned all 3 and the xobx is the only one that gets rugular use.

But as I said, it really comes down to what has the games you want.

You're a bit on a latecomer, but if i were to buy one at this late stage, it would be an xbox. I also owned all 3 and the gamecube went after 5 days, the ps2 after a couple of months, and I've had my xbox since the week of UK release about 3-4 years ago.

Yeah I know, but like I said, I'm a PC gamer Smile But I thought why the hell not. These things are relatively cheap by now and there aren't that many good arcade racers out for the PC so I'm pretty much decided on the Xbox by now.

XBMC and XDSL is all you need for Xbox.


If you hate it, ignore it.

It's not really much to think about. Since you are a pc gamer (and like to stay that) the xbox is the obvious choice for you. The xbox is the console that have most pc like games and therefor it's natural that pc gamers pick the xbox when they pick a console.
This doesn't mean everyone, but the majority of pc gamers would be better off with an xbox if they want a console. Smile
