I will be selling my GC in afew weeks, to make way for a xbox(maybe).

The main reason is Colin Mcrae Rally 04/PGR 2.

The lack of Driving games on the GC is doing my head in.

Im not sure how much i will be getting for my GC, but i will be probley selling it on Ebay.

But the only thing holding me back really is using Xbox Live. I already have NTL BroadBand 150k, but ive looked on the NTL site and its telling me the first year costs would be £389.88. Abit steep aint it?

Also where the best place to buy a Second-Hand Xbox? Ive been into SR Stapleford and quite frankly that shop is going down the pan. Ebay is probley too expensive (?).

Cheers

But look at Kirby Air Ride to Ralli Sport when comparing Realism

Agreed. PGR is basically MSR 2, but with a few minor differences and better graphics.

PGR isn't a realistic game as such, but it is meant to have one of the best physics engines ever. Plus it's real cars, unlike say Burnout.

Sega GT2002 is good if you liked the first one. It's better, has waaaay more options (2 million different combinations I read) and has a few new nice features like second hand parts.

RalliSport isn't a realism game. There are modded vehicles and the speeds are much faster. PGR isn't an all out realism game either, not by a long shot.
