I'm not sure if it's the right place to ask since you are Gran Turismo oriented players (so am I then maybe it's not that bad idea). But let's start at the beginning.
My 4-years-old Xbox 360 has died recently. It is out of warrananty and I decided not to repair it (I was offered 50 euros repair costs plus 3 months warranty).
The question is: should I get another 360 or buy PS3 instead? I can afford only one gaming system. I'd definitely go with PS3 if there were no strings attached. But there are.
I own like 8-10 xbox games that I could resell (unfortunately for silly amount of money). Problem is that I enjoy some of them. To be precise GTA IV, Guitar Hero with a wireless guitar and Forza 3. So even if I sold them, I'd buy them again for PS3.
With GT5 instead of Forza 3 of course. But that's a totally different story. I played every Gran Turismo from 1 to 4... heck, I still own PSX with a copy of GT2. So yeah, I love the series. But then comes money issue.
Let's say I bought a new 360. It means I keep the games and sell the dead xbox. In this case total cost is about 225 euros.
But if I choose PS3 the situation looks like that: I sell the dead xbox, sell the games for a small percentage of what I paid for them and buy Guitar Hero, GTA and Gran Turismo 5. Total cost: 350 euros.
In both cases I own a gaming system with a decent racing game (no point in arguing about which one is better, I know it's GT5, ok?), Guitar Hero and GTA IV.
So the basic question is: is GT5 worth 125 euro of extra money? Or even more if I'm unlucky with reselling my xbox games?
P.S. The amounts of money I used are accurate to where I live. No point in discussing them.
