Wow, that's awesome.
 
Defiantly awsome but no leather, suede platinum, gold or fancy wood so I'm not sure if it's luxurious...

Doesn't necessarily need to have a luxurious atmosphere in order to call something luxurious. Can be based on value as well, and amount of comfort. And according to the price tag attached to it & the items included..
 
That's amazing.
 
What's the point? You could buy yourself a decent automobile for that price and race in in real life? Also what's a thrusting master?

What about people who can't race in real life?

Also what's a thrusting master?

A high end (or low end depending on model) wheel. Also someone willing to buy that would rather sit in his 3 million dollar home playing GT5 instead of denting his Porsche 911 turbo.

What do you mean? One could purchase a wheel and a racing/driving game that is compatible with it.
 
This is cool, But imagine that Audi R8 LMS simulator with screens like that:drool:

Well, not all of the world has race tracks, y'know. We at Hong Kong don't have this luxury so the closest we can get to that is either street racing at the dead of night or (for normal people) buy a video game with some mental setup for the screens to make it feel as 'real' as possible.

By the way, @arseneH, 你好,我也是香港人:D

How about no?
A track day costs more than a new PS3, a track DAY.
Not to mention the car.
We should be talking at at least about 50.000 euros (if we're talking about track days).

But if you want to race...then get at least 500.000 euros.


Conclusion? GT5 sim is a lot cheaper.
 
And just one small correction. It's 14,000 Hong Kong Dollars, not US.
 
It's HK$110.118 (it's written there).
 
Oh, right! :dunce:

I knew that!:dopey::lol:

Although Hong Kong doesn't have any circuits within but many car groups and magazines organize trackdays at Zhuhai International Circuit, which if I not mistaken is the closest circuit there is to Hong Kong.

ha lo I'm from Hong Kong also. :O

Well with this you don't have to worry about wrecking your car and possibly dying, I think that's a good enough reason.

you can buy a kit car and attend track days for less than 14.000 dollars.

That's a damn car - one that's fast around a track and fun to drive - for less than 14.000 dollars, with money left for track days.
Either that, or a gaming setup. I know what I'd take.
And even though a track day will likely cost you more than a PS3, this setup does not cost what a PS3 does, so it's completely irrelevant.

Conclusion? GT5 sim cost as much as buying an entire car and taking it to a track, and even more if it's a very cheap car.
And what do you get? Either a real life experience, or a damn gaming setup.

So you're saying that in order to call something luxurious, it doesn't need to be luxurious? That makes no sense.

Luxury doesn't equal a high price tag. You wouldn't call a Gumpert luxurious, even though it's expensive.
This setup isn't luxurious, it's just expensive for what it is. There's no leather, no marble floor, no titanuim wheel, no nothing.
All this is, is standard consumer electronics put together in one system. It's all made of the same cheap plastic our TVs and remotes are made of. Nothing luxurious about it.
