You can buy all the parts separately for a little more than half of what they're charging.

Hi my name is Ben and I was looking at all the cars I have and they are very good. The problem is that I cant race any of my friends because they dont like the game so I was thinking for you to make a game called Gran Turismo Online. And you would be able to use the cars from the 3rd Gran Turismo to race on the online game. If you are going to take my idea and make a online game called Gran Turismo online MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS AN ANTI CHEAT DEVICE SO WE CAN RACE PROPERLEY. I hate when people cheat because everyone uses the best car and I would always loose. To me thats not fair because for example I build up a car and make it fast than somebody cheats and beats me than the game would not be fun.

PS2 was good, but after November, Xbox is better.....

First off, PS2 WAS a good system. Now, most of its hits are going to Xbox. Hits such as Metal Gear Solid 2, Baldur's Gate, Medal of Honor: Frontline, and most of PS2's other big names. The only two games Xbox isn't getting is Grand Theft Auto (Sony bribed the developers to keep it exclusive to PS2, darn them, but it ends in 2004), but you can get it on PC. Final Fantasy? Who needs it? Its good, but it alone isn't worth buying a PS2 for. Xbox has Mechassualt (best Mech game ever, and NOT on the PC), Halo, Dead Or Alive 3, Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, Blinx (I love that game!), Shenmue 2, Oddworld: Munches Oddyssey, House of the Dead 3, Sega GT 2002, and Panzer Dragoon Orta, some of the best games known to man, as exclusives! Plus, many PS2 games ported to Xbox will have extra content, such as new levels, new extras, etc. Buy an Xbox, and you will be getting the cream of every crop. Buy PS2, and you will be getting the sloppy seconds of many games (like Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which will support Xbox Live, but not Sony's online plan). If you want online games, don't even bother with PS2, it will not be the best one out for online games. Several games, including Timesplitters 2, will not include online gameplay, becuase it was to hard for the developers of the game to set up.

So what if PS2 has a bigger library? 80% of those games are not worth buying,while the xbox is seeing a good deal of EXCLUSIVE greats coming in the future. Don't buy PS2. trust me.

Hello, I am updating this reveiw. In the paragraph above, it originally said "better library". I apologize, it was a typ-o.

I have some more things to say. No, the PS2 online is not "free". Many big games, like Final Fantasy XI, will be charging a monthly fee. Also, PS2 online isn't not at all secure, and so you can expect cheaters and hackers running rampant on the servers, like on the Dreamcast. Xbox Live is totally secure, and will require only one $9.95 fee. Plus its free for a year. There will be many PS2 online games that will require there own monthly fees. Also, expect little innovation in PS2's future games. All of the big innovative games are coming to Xbox in spades in 2003. Like Fable, Halo 2, Sudeki, Steel Battalion 2, Lamborgini, Crimson Sea, Ninja Gaiden, and others.

So, it all comes down to this: do you want the Xbox, or the over priced Portstation 2? You decide, but I would suggest Xbox if you want the best, most cutting edge games around, Xbox will be the one to get!

Great system, great games, way overpriced.

When I first heard of PS2, I thought this would definitely be the system too buy. When I had bought it, I realized all the hype about it was false. I kept chucking the controller down when it took 5 minutes to load Madden 2002. The loading time was outrageously long. Then in late November, when Gamecube had come out, I bought it...SO then when, I had bought Gamecube along with Rouge Leader, which was good, I waited anxiouly for Super Smash Brothers Melee. AND WAS IT GOOD! Nintendo had come out with a game in they're first month with the Gamecube than had PS2 had ever had...Nintendo has way better games than even PS2... And for you people who think Gamecube has kiddie games... like how Nintendo is sticking to Zelda. Well I don't think most "kiddies" can beat Zelda. Gamecube has Metroid Prime, Rouge Spear, Eternal Darkness Sanity's Return, Six Resident Evil Games (did I say six! Yes I did) in the making and much more still to come out. Listen to me. Gamecube is the system to get and has more third party developers than any other console. Just wait to they get more games out and we'll see who will win the console war.

ONE of the best games for PS2 ever InVeNtEd

This is one of the best games I have ever played in my life. The graphics are intense and feels like your right there riding in a car that can hit lightning speeds LIKE 0-328 MPH and thats in 10-20 seconds. And when it has 3 leages{begginer, amature,and profesional} and each one 100-330 races it gets pretty intense. And the best part is you get to upgrade the cars you win and buy with money, all the way from the tires to engine to paint.When I mentioned cars I meant a lot, I mean 250 and they all come from 12-18 countries each with its speacial features.Did I mention you even have to play licens to make races, which means the more licens you get the more races you can race.Anyways lik I said the game is awesome and there is nothing else like it. Capeace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Other Recommendations- Spy Hunter & Grand Theft Auto 3

Best racer you can find with any bundle.

Gran Turismo 3 is the best racer I ever played. Xbox's Project Gathom Racing is no where near as fun as this.Currently the only racing game I own is Gran Turismo 2 for PS1 and it's not even any where near as fun as Gran Turismo 3. If you don't want the PS2 for Gran Turismo 3 than get it for any of the other top rated games such as Max Payne, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Libraty, Grand Theft Auto 3, and Final Fantasy 10. The Xbox will have some of these games but the Xbox's controller will make the games hard and difficult to play. But be warned these games on the Xbox will have a better story line and probaly have better gameplay. The Xbox's advantages over the PS2 is that it has a hard drive and a modem for online play. The PS2 will have these options but they are sold separtly which will add on to the price you have to pay. I recommend the Playstation 2, over the X-box!

PS2 Is'nt What It's Cracked Up To Be!

Let me first start off by saying I'm a huge gamer. But to pay [amt] for a PlayStation 2 is crazy. I just got one for Christmas, and I'm more than [ticked]. The DVD/DVD-Rom is GREAT, it plays flawlessly (unlike all the bad feedback it gets). However, the games graphics are'nt. Indeed they are better, but who's to say that graphics is all it's about? Like I said before, I'm a huge gamer, (I have PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, Regular Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast and Gameboy), but the PS2 leaves something out. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it's extremely over-rated. I know I will probably get a lot of votes against me, but this is how I feel about this paticular console.

I went out and rented All Star Baseball 2002, but it was'nt very good. The graphics are about as good as All Star Baseball 1998 for Nintendo 64, or maybe worse. The gameplay is horrible. It's almost like playing Spy Hunter for regular Nintendo.

Some people might enjoy PS2, as for me, I think I'm gonna go for Microsoft X-Box next. Maybe it won't be as disappointing as the PS2. I think the main reason for me trashing this game system is because I have a DVD Player as well as the PS1. That makes it seem like I got the same thing I already have. If you're looking for Graphics and Gameplay, you might want to try out the X-Box or maybe the Nintendo Gamecube. But for me, I would stay away from the PS2, unless you don't have a DVD Player, DVD-Rom for your computer and a regular PlayStation.

The Best Game with the BEST system!!!!!!!!

Not only is PS2 the greatest system out there, Gran Turismo 3 is the best racing game of all time. PS2 is awesome because it has so many features and great games. People complain about the price but if you do the calculations of the features, you are getting a great deal. For a good DVD and CD player like PS2 (...), and PS2 can play PS One game which is (...)for the system. Plus its like getting 128 bit games for free, and what person doesn't like free stuff. The X-Box is bulky, ugly, microsoft doesn't know how to make games, and the controller is huge. The gamecube has no features like DVD or CD, and the games are kiddie. If you are looking for a system, get Playstation2 because it is the future of video games!!!!!!!!!!!!
