I already has a PS3 and a Wii but having just looked through some of the Forza threads I feel like I am missing out on loads. So the question is, should I get an Xbox just for Forza?

Ta, Mike

I have to say that there are some cracking deals for 360s at the moment. I'm tempted myself.

Say one was to walk into an electronics emporium on the morrow. Which establishment could one find the best deal within?

Another long term PS3 owner here.

I've just ordered this from game

http://www.game.co.uk/Consoles/Xbox-360/Xbox-360-E...

XBOX 360 Elite
Forza 3
Fallout 3

£199.99

Don't know if you can get the same in store but I thought it looked a decent deal.

Hope to be racing online soon.

Both seem like good deals. I think Fallout/Halo is just a question of the style of game you prefer. Forza is the priority for me but I don't think I'd be disappointed with either.

Um were not in a Forza appreciation thread, the OP asked if people thought that it was worth buying a 360 for Forza 3.

In my opinion it isn't, and I expressed my opinion to give the OP a balanced view. If you don't agree then fine.

I've kept away from the billions of Forza threads and that are dominating the forum but this was a legit question asking for people opinions and experience so I answered.

Are we not allowed to not like Forza 3? Or are we just not allowed to express an opinion that differs from yours?

Grow up, it's getting boring now.

No, you were trolling again. If it was a balanced view then you'd actually back up your view rather than just a "no, it's boring"

My story in brief;

I was a playstation/GT fanboy all my life i had all of the GT series (i still do, in my parents attic somewhere!) One day i played the original Forza on a classic xbox and was blown away by how fun it was. Kicked the arse out of GT4 by a mile. Engine swaps, self paintable cars, ferrari's, ONLINE RACING!!! Upon further investigation, forza2 was about 6 months away from general release so i ordered a 360 that night, then found a bargain deal of forza1 & 12 month XBL for £40.

Played that to the death, then bought PGR3 which was excellent also but in completely different ways.

Forza 2 came out and blew my mind, so much so i took it to a mates house, we did a back to back comparison of FM2 and the GT5 demo (before GT5P) and within an hour he was convinced too, he later sold his PS3 and now owns a 360 Elite.

PGR4, another fine racing game, and very visually stunning

And now FM3 which you could sort of argue is the game FM2 should have been, but regardless both are still fantastic in their own rights.

In short, if you enjoy driving games, and want to race this christmas you should get an XBOX and FM3 now, without doubt smile

I've always been a PS person. Had the PS3 on launch day but can't help thinking I've missed out on some good games. Seeing as it's my birthday next week I thought I could justify the XBOX - Hope it's worth it!

I really want an xbox elite, forza 3 and halo 3, however, I have just started my final year of uni and feel that to buy an xbox would be the equivalent of waving goodbye to my degree so it'll have to wait cry
