I didn't read all the rest of the post, so if any of this was said, chock it up to me being lazy.
NFS series is a piece of trash, along with the new test drive unlimited.
There's just something i don't like about being able to drive in the bushes at 150mph.
PGR3 on the 360 was great for the last year, no tuning, but fair realistic gameplay.
Forza II hits the shelf in the beginning of november. As for Forza I kicked the crap out of any Gran Turimo, I'll assume II on the 360 with no ps3 competition will be the only simulation game to own. I've seen multiple videos of it, and it's as close to real looking as anything i've every seen on a video game.
Anybody that wants to run me on PGR3 for the time being, let me know.
