Got £1500 to spare? What do you mean "No!" Then sell your mother, your sister, rob a bank. Do what you have to.
"But I'm a Nintendo/Sega user!"
Not for long. The new screenshots for 'Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec' have been released, you'll find them on a lot of sites. I've just seen them.
The first question you have is 'Is this a photograph?' You look a bit closer. This is actual in-game footage you are looking at. Don't believe it? Believe it. The detail is stunning, that's the first word that comes into your head when you first realise that this is a game you are looking at, not a still from Cannonball Run.
If this is what the PS2 is capable of at this early stage of its life, just think what we will be seeing 12-24 months down the line. No, don't bother, you can't. It's that amazing. It's impossible to imagine the future of the PS2's abilities, because if it can do what GT3 is indicating, you can't imagine in your wildest dreams what it will be doing in 2 year's time. So point your browser at a search engine, look for GT3, and prepare to be seriously wow!ed.
And if you just bought a DC because the PS2 wasn't available, start thinking about what you will get as part-exchange value in March.
And if you are going to stick by the N64? Have fun, it will always be an entertaining console. But you'll have to put up with snipes from PS2 users until you get a Gamecube. But will the Gamecube be capable of in-game footage like this? Only time will tell.

Come on, where's the site.
I can only think of one direct rival.
You're looking at the wrong pics. Here's a clue: This is a new site, launched 2/1/2001. The pics were released 1/1/2001. The site is a direct rival to this one, so there's no way I can post the URL. They sent me an e-mail today saying that the pics had been posted, if that helps. It had the word 'spammail' in it, if that's any help.
Humm... yes, very shiny. But they're aren't in game shots, they are shots of the replays.
I've see about 15 pictures, and not one of them have you controlling the car, or in the car.
Some of the pictures are very lifelike, yes, but it seems they spent a lot of time on some cars, and hardly any on some...
