+1 I dont feel safe in a house without a dog being there to alert me to an intruder and or bite the intruders arm off.

Yes, some of the challenges are very very difficult with the controller, i've been reading the GT5 boards and it seems very few people if any have been able to do the later NASCAR challenges without a wheel.

+1 I noticed that too. To be quite honest Forza 3 may be a better game over all the GT5 and this is coming from the man who bought a PS3 nearly a year ago hoping for this game to come out soon. Its not a bad game its just dissappointing because after so long you would expect it to blow Forza 3 out of the water not just get close to or just equal it.

Thanks for the info much appreciated . I'll just have to wait for the day and see who has it the cheapest.

Does anyone know how much GT5 is going to be on release date? Dick Smith has a online preorder for $78 but I would rather just go and buy it if I can. I really dont fancy paying $99 at Jb or $118 at EB, so if anyone knows that would be greatly appreciated.

+1 Not this guy again, I wish the popo would finally catch up with him and lock him up.

+1 The resale value on the S15 is going to be a hell of a lot better 3 or 4 years down the road when you come to sell it compared with the 7 or 8k you'd end up getting for your R34.

I'm aware of that the VN Commodore and the VE Walkinshaw Clubby are nothing alike (old as 5 Litre V8 with Live axle VS 6.2L Supercharged V8 with IRS). I was just saying for a technical exercise you could make a VN Commodore that could beat even a 911 GT2 in a straight line for miles under 90k and that a 90k Walkinshaw Clubsport is comprable to a 911 Carrera S around a despite having seating for 5 and gets around a track a whisker away from being as fast as a Carrera S.

Piece of piss, with 90k you could make a VN Commodore easily smash a 911 in a straight line. Also even around a track depending on driver skill a 997 Carrera S and a Walkinshaw Clubby are comparable, around the Top gear Australia test track the difference is only .31 of a second. And a Walkinshaw Clubby can be had for around 90k vs a 997 Carrera S 253k.

Maybe this is just my noobness talking but that is quite impressive especially for someone who doesnt have wow as an occupation.

It does feel somewhat lacking compared with 3 in some ways but in other ways it exceeds 3, especially in terms of the companions and the scope of the consequences to your decisions. I've already played it through twice and it feels like there is easy another 4 or 5 player throughs left in it.

I know exactly what you mean, I was playing it yesterday and it just feels like World at War fast forwarded 20 years the mechanics feel exactly the same. MW2 is alot smoother and the mechanics just feel...........better. When I was playing MP using the MP5 it just felt like the Thompson SMG from WAW but a little different while in MW2 all the guns feel different and have their own quirks while Black Ops they all feel generic and very much recycled. I want to love this game because its something too allievate my boredom but I just dont.

LOL Just wait for the mods Boz i'm sure a BBW lover out there will make fatteh npc's for you

I think your friend is a moron and even associating with him may make you dumber 2011 Mustang GT 1/4 mile 12.8s 2008 Nissan GTR 1/4 mile 11.5s Willow Springs Raceway, USA 2011 Mustang GT 1:37.60 2008 Nissan GTR 1:31.23 And Willow Springs is a power circut with long sweeping bends not tight corners.

You make an excellent point, I've seen a couple R33 GTR's sitting on Carsales for over a year with very little in the way of price drops, I suppose thats why they are still there.

I doubt its from the Supercar Club, they only offered a limited number of km's per year on each type of membership so I doubt it would of racked up 44k in 12 months.On a slightly different not does anyone have 105k I could borrow interest free for say the next 20 years

Black Ops at Play Asia for $62 AUD including shipping Thats where i'm ordering mine from i'm prepared to wait a couple of days to save $20.

Personally Fable 2 didnt really appeal to me after the excitement of owning everything in Albion wore off. Fable 3 is a bit different I find the story a lot more engaging so it makes you want to play it more. As far as gameplay goes there are a couple of big holes that really piss me off, no mini-map, no quest journal, no "you are here" on the actual map screen and the golden trail is broken about 30% of the time so you have to just walk backwards and forwards till it starts working. Other than that though its a pretty reasonable experience, although one warning get all the money you need before the final battle because it sneaks up on you like a mother f**ker, I had to start the whole game again because it doesnt let you know when its going to be and I went from having 121 days left to having none.

LOL its sure to be out by the time the Playstation 5 comes out. Whenever I mention GT5 my girlfriend just says "its never coming out they always say it is but it never does", thats how bad its got polyphony

I agree completely agree about third party being a must. But rego is more expensive by the weight of your car, so 500 or more for Third Party plus $437 for what amounts to a standard Commodores weight it quickly becomes a $1k exercise, so basically the NSW public is getting reamed by the state government and the insurance companys. 1155kg to 1504kg $306 1505kg to 2504kg $437 And its even more if you want to claim the car off tax for business use.

In NSW you need to purchase the Third party insurance for injury seperate of Rego, so NSW gets reamed as far as rego fees go. My Gf's parents pay nearly $1k per year per car, while in Vic I pay $600.

I agree wholeheartedly. This is just like any other time in history, the government of the day uses something the people are afraid in order to maintain control and distract people from the short comings in their respective societys. Your examples are quite right but you can also add: Fear of the day 1930's - Financial Meltdown ,Facism, Communism and Japanese expansionism 1940's- More Facism, Communism and Japanese expansionism 1950's - Mcarthyism aka paranoid fear of Communism 1960's - More fear of Communism and advent of MAD (Mutually assured destruction) 1970's - Terrorism and the spread of Communism after the fall of South Vietnam 1980's - More fear of Communism 1990's - Nothing really stands out in this particular decade for people in the west to have to fear 2000's - Sars, Bird Flu, Terrorism, Financial Crisis's So between the major unfounded fears like Sars and Bird Flu they need something to keep the people afraid whether its hoon driving, ethnic minorities, big bad corporations etc (basically ACA and TT wrapped up together)

I was speaking hypothetically with 1000 a day, going roughly on figures based on population vs drug arrests there are roughly 328 per day on average Australia wide, so thats still at least 50 a day in a city like Melbourne or Sydney. Obviously there is going to be days where there are more arrests some days where there are none. That is still a massive number of arrests and a large number of police having to be used to apprehend said criminals, if like you suggest they want to make police chases safer that is still a massive increase in the polices resources and obviously their budget. What resources do you think would be required to make your plan work and how much would they cost? Where would the money come from? You state that the Cops chasing a criminal is a greater evil than letting a criminal getting away and possibly never getting caught, okay thats your opinion but how can you reconcile the possibity of that criminal getting away then going on to reoffend? which considering the statistics for criminals reoffending the chances are quite high.

Perhaps 500 choppers was a bit of an overstatement, lets say for instance you have the best pilots working around the clock you could get it down to 100 for the whole force, for those 1000 drug dealers. And if Matt's figure of a chopper costing $3000 a minute to keep in the air thats still $18,000,000 an hour, thats $432,000,000 a day. Even if you dumb down the numbers required even further for each bust your still looking at something that is still logistically impossible. I completely agree with Prue. Its not the cops fault if the criminals decide to run and then crash into a car with a child in the back and end up up killing them. People need to realise that the police chase criminals for a reason to stop them from hurting more people before they can be put in jail and will no longer be a threat to society. "- It's not the cops fault you're breaking the law - It's not their fault that the person decides to try & get away"

How is pointing out the logistics required in your plan to safely apprehend criminals a contradiction? I have read the budget data for NSW and know what horrible state its in, even a token increase to the capabilites of the police force would require taking that money from what 90% of the time amounts to funding for a badly needed project.
