Sticking with the gamepad on this one.
I'd have a problem with that from the wifey, too, LOL. I can't say I'd blame her, though, because we neither have the money nor the room for it. She hates the wires that I can't have for my set-up as it is, let alone what something like this would add. If I ever get a gameroom, this is certaily something I'll be considering though

Good points, too. Do you think they'll have a '08 Malibu?

The money Sorry can't help you with,

As for the wire bit, you can go with the Fanatex Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel which is wireless.

And as for the room you can get a wheel stand instead of a cockpit, there are some nicer ones out there but this one is compact.

Well, you've been helpful with everything else. You've certainly opened my eyes to the market more than I was familiar with from a few years ago.

Thanks!

Me, too!!! I dont' know about saying bye-bye to COD for this cat, though. I have Special Ops' on order and MOH on order too. I've been playing the Beta on MOH and the graphics are disappointing because of the 720 - no 1080... It looks a lot like BFBC and 2. I loved both of those games, but it feels too similar. That's just me though - it's still fun!

I can only play 1 game at a time. I got "Need for Speed: Shift" and "Batman: Arkham Asylum" collecting dust. I only play "Modern Warfare 2".

I'm in the process of moving outta my apartment by November and getting a bigger place so I can finally have my 135" screen with a 1080p projector for my new place...Gran Turismo will be more than welcome to join me...

I'm the same way. Once said game enters my PS3 it doesn't get replaced until I'm finished with it.

I'm kinda' that way. I'll buy games I know I want, but if I'm not finished with what I want to finish in one of the games, usually, I don't get around to others that much until I'm where I want to be. I've literally played about on hour of BBC2, about 30 minutes of MAG, a couple days of Shift, and there are a lot more of the same. I've played on COD for days and the same with RDR, lol. FM3 has gotten most of my time since picking it up though. It's getting old and the cars are getting stale. I don't like the drag mode either - it sucks for a new game. NFS ProStreet was better in many respects in their drag mode, though it was certaily not perfect. It still had more fundamentals in it than FM3 though.

I know I'll be playing mostly GT5 though. Spec' Ops', MOH (maybe...), and Dead Rising will either have come out or will be very soon, so it'll be more unplayed games probably. I picked TFWFC Tuesday and haven't even opened it - mostly because I don't know if I'm going to keep it, but I do like everything I've seen and enjoy the on-line, even though I get POWNED!

No wonder I don't have a Camaro, LOL

I picked that up for 360 because I wanted to play with a buddy of mine on that platform. I like that game a lot, but I really don't like the on-line play. There are too many jerks or something - I can't explain it. It could be I've just not given it enough time, too.

I don't play online for that reason. I've just been playing the campaign mode and trying to achieve 100% and attain the multiple achievements available.

I'm at 79% now. I just have a couple missions with Ross left and then I move on to the Marston ranch missions. I just completed my Survivalist and sharpshooter rank 10s last night. I'm only on Rank 3 of the treasure hunter and rank 5 for the master hunter. I only need to kill one more cougar with my knife to get to rank 6 though.

I just bought a PS3 copy on ebay for $35, used twice. I love depreciating video games. Should have it by monday.
