I worked at Sony for two years and quit 3 months ago (from when I was 18 ti'll 20) and I was one of the persons to test, play, and compaire the PS3's that were produced, and check for bugs. Getting to the point -> One day, I was doing a side-by-side comparison of Need For Speed: Carbon on the same tv using picture-picture and I found noticable differences on both systems. For example, the PS3's had more details, but the Xbox 360's had more glossy, shinner graphics (I.E., the lights shinned bright and you could not see as much texture to the gravel, dirt, etc.) Another thing I noticed when In a race (stand still at the starting line) was that the PS3 was actually missing some of the details on the road, the reflections, and some monuments In the background. And one more thing I researched on. It might be surprising, but this Is Indeed true, and which I stated previously, Go with the 360. When we broke down parts of both systems, and read the labels and so forth, a team of our employees came to the concluison that If you wanted to run an Xbox 360 game on a PS3, you would have to dumb-down the game before you could even try to run It. That and, When setting up Xbox's Live feature, It only takes a few cables and you're done. While the PS3 want's your ISP, your IP address, your tellephone, email, etc. It's alot of work for no reason.

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 Gran Turismo 3 Gran Turismo 4 There's probably more, but I'm too lazy to check EBGames. :-P

I wasn't really a gamer back In the day.. Mostly It was traveling with parents In the navy (at the time we owned an '86 monte carlo and a '76 mustang GT) Anyways.. The fist console I owned was a PS1 and It broke down when a rubber band got Into the disk tray. Second one I owned from 1999 was a PS2, which I still have, It's modded w/ a chip, swap magic, flip top, etc. (still use It as my everyday game station) Last year (2006) I started getting Into PC games for the modding, so now I use the PC about 3 times a week. And finnally, I plan on buying a PS3 or Xbox 360. :-)

Thank's for the warm welcomes everyone. I'm glad that everyone's welcoming and friendly here. :-)

Well ofcourse they're taking over, and yes I suppose It's a good thing, Better graphics and higher clocked speeds are good, but I just wish they would/could put In more of the vehicles. I read In an article that the reason they wouldn't/couldn't put 60+ vehicles, race wars, online, and so forth was because the PS2's processor couldn't handle It. Which makes sense ofcourse.. But I 'ave to give It to atari, at least they could give us old-gen users some online play. Well, I guess It's time to upgrade to the 360 since the PS3 was proven a blow. Thanks for the Info guys. ;-)

Hello everyone here at the TDU Forum. I'm a new member and a new fan of Test Drive: Unlimited. I'm here for one reason, and that Is to Interact with others on this forum. I'm 20 years old, and my occupation Is a mechanic. I live In L.A., but I'm from Forli, Italy. I speak full English, though my motherland langauge Is Italian. (I speak that fully too) My Intrest are; Racing video games, Internet Trends, Internet stock, 1st and 3rd person shooting video games, multiple online video games, different countrys, online forums, administrating, and moderating. Mostly things that have to do with video games, coultures, vehicles, and computers. ;-)

I've recently read these threads about Test Drive: Unlimited not Including some, 100+ cars In the PS2 verison. I'm outraged, It's discusting that they degrade us by taking away so many vehicles that we'd love to drive. It's wrong. We're paying $39.99 (the same price as the Xbox 360 verison) and only getting half of what we payed for! EA did the same thing with Need For Speed: Carbon (and collectors edition.) The Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 verisons got over 104 cars and all we got were 33, only a measily 33! I thought all this would change when TDU came out, but I guess not? I'm really disapointed, The PS2 would some what be able to handle all the vehicles, and Atari most likely knows that. It's a shame that "next-gen" consoles are taking over us previous-gen consoles. IMO, If you want the full game with an excellent online, I suggest purchasing the '360 verison. -.-'
