100% what he said. I have both and each has their strong points, so getting the one your mates all have is the best way to choose.

There's a sticky at the top of this page that was supposed to prevent all these threads...

Xbox360 still edges it for me, until Gt5 arrives.

The other big factor in favour of the 360 is that it has the proper analogue triggers. I can hardly stand playing without them whenever I end up playing a driving game on another platform!

Another plus for Forza is at the moment there are some nice cars being given away which will help you with your career.

They both have pressure sensetive buttons, but only the xbox has the fully analogue shoulder-mounted triggers

Pretty sure my PS3 pad has fully analogue shoulder mounted triggers. They're called L2 and R2.

Oh and OP go with the PS3. Considering GT5 is out in 3 months (ish) and you want online racing, I don't really see there being another option? Forza is quite a poor copy of GT (being able to paint your car doesn't make up for the fact the cars float over the tarmac, or the circuits looks nothing like their real life equivalents), and you said most of your friends have a PS3. So that'l; be the PS3 then.

Will, while you're here might I make a quick suggestion?

Instant ban of these ill advised fanboys.

It's rapidly becoming very tedious, who's with me??

Double post. Something to do with me being technically illiterate and trying to post from my iPod perhaps?

Bloody Apple fanboys..... wink


Definately think that the battle threads are becoming a PITA and something needs to be done about them.

Damn, though I'd got away with deleting it as well! hehe

You see what I mean though, the post above my previous one is a prime example.

Tthe lad has clearly posted that he now wants an Xbox, so why persue it any further.

It's stupid, please stop it.
