buy one for them. rent GT3 and take it back if you don't like it.
buy it if you do.
is it like an "ethics" thing for some people not to have a console? i
have far more worries than that, unfortunately.
i don't have money for a dedicated pc for my daughter. having a
playstation around is excellent for her. easy to use. switch on and
off. no defragging, viruses, etc.
must explain to my wife why my daughter needs a ps2. er and GT3. oh
yes and f1 2001.

While it is a great game and a passable sim, I don't think it warrants $330 for
PS2+GT3, then another $50-90 to get a wheel for it (plus memory card...).
There are a few plusses compared to GT2:
Obviously, the huge leap in the graphics
Addition of a Boxster, 996-gen 911 (Ruf's), Speedster, and apparently Monaco
(see the demo of a GT-One at the "cote d'azur).
The replay analyzer
A return to qualifying
But overall, the subtractions are almost as significant:
Far fewer cars. Admittedly mostly the "mundane" ones. But that was a major
part of the charm for me. I don't need 3+ race versions of each of the NSX,
Supra, GT-R...
Only about 3 used cars.
Only about 5 cars you can afford to start the "simulation"
Sure, it's a tour-de-force console racer. But I'll wait for a major price drop
at least.

No thanks. ;-)
Personally, it *is* an ethics thing in our household. I've seen too
many kids who sit around & melt their brains with overdoses of TV &
mindless console games. Both the girls have their own PC which they can
also learn more constructive things on (graphics, programming, etc.)
when they wish. Can't do that with a console. TV time is kept to a
bare minimum too, about an hour a day. It is not expensive to have
their own PC's either. Always gave me a good excuse to build another
one for me. They got my old one, then the youngest one wanted her own,
I built me a better one & she got that. Then the wife wanted one too.
:-) Got to upgrade again, with no friction from her!
ROTFLMAO!! Good Luck buddy!
