I'd put my 360 slightly below my wife... I guess spaceman has no wife or kids. 😛

If you want to save your GF some cash wait until next month for the $200 arcade. Then (maybe) buy the 60GB HD for $100 yourself. Or if getting one now is a big deal try places like Walmart and Target now who have been sighted selling the 60GB Pro for $300.

Alright cool. Sounds like the 20gb is the way to go. I'll see if I can find a Platinum package locally for $300. I didn't realize the prices dropped, so that's good. I guess Newegg hasn't updated there's yet. Has Gran Turismo 5 come out for Xbox yet?

Gran Turismo 5 is exclusive to the PS3.

Aww that's balls. How are Forza and PGR as far the variety of cars you can drive? That was always the coolest thing about GT for me. They had a huge number of cars to drive and customize.
As far as hard disk space goes, I probably won't be going crazy with all the stuff you guys are mentioning. I don't expect to be playing it more than a couple hours a week.

Forza 2 is as close to a true competitive sim to GT:5 that you'll find. Many think the physics in Forza are better than GT even though GT has better graphics. A group of us from this forum get together to race every Wednesday night at 9PM EST. There is a large selection of cars to customize and paint and the online racing is a blast.

PGR4 is extremely enjoyable as well but it is an arcade/sim hybrid. Not alot of customization.

The next iteration of Forza will likely come out before GT:5 come out. There's also another sim coming out called Race Pro

Even if you're only playing a couple of hours a week, you're still going to want a HDD for game updates and such. One of the neat features coming up in the Fall Update is the ability to copy the entire game to your HDD. You still need to have the disk in the drive but that cuts down the noise and the loading times.

Got a link to this? Im interested.
