In other words, if you don't have any experience with it...knock it.
Such a closed minded attitude has just robbed you of the finest car
racing sim on any platform. Oh well.
I hope they put it out on the PC, as well...but if they don't, it
doesn't take a thing away from the Playstation version.

So, if you like the PC games why are you posting here? Aren't there PC
usenet groups for this? Or do you just enjoy putting a stick in a hornets
nest to see what happens?

Wellllll, maybe not entirely. I may have had bad luck -- or I may be heavy
footed (but frankly, I'm an *** who probably did not dish out as much abuse
or game time as a ***) -- but I went through 2 Mad Catz pedal sets. The first
went quickly and I was able to return. The second lasted 6 months of very
OCCASSIONAL use. I bought a NeGcon instead, and while it's not a wheel, it
seems much more durable and certainly wins in the convenience and storage
catagories.

Say what you will, but I still think the original GT review at Digital
Sportspage was an intentional flame bait. The fact that the reviewer
started this cross-posted thread just confirms that. Oh well.
For what it's worth, I have a Playstation and GT. No, it didn't make
me stop playing Ubisoft F1RS, and I am still looking forward to
Papyrus Grand Prix Legends too. That's where I think that review was
wrong, but I guess it is a matter of taste.
Check out this GT page I just found.

Then don't accuse Randy of flamebaiting if you really believe it is a
matter of taste. You should just consider it a bonus that he knows enough
about the PC racers to have included a comparative set of references to
them in his PSX Gran Tourismo review. It's meant to let people who play PC
racers get a sense of what this PSX game might be like for them, not make
them angry and bitter about PC race ***, of which he is admittedly quite
fond.

Yeah, I think thats why most people buy wheels for their PCs. Just
like those who buy wheels for the PSX.

I think that was forgone when the orginal poster didn't post his
message with the facts at hand. Truth is I'm a *** PC racing
sim fan, I have 2 T2 steering wheel and the new nascar Pro steering
wheel for my PC at home so I can do LAN racing games with friends.
But on the other side I'm also a hardcare PSX racing sim fan, I've got
a pair of DSP's 2 negcons, and am extremely happy with GT. I read the
original post, and it strikes me that the person either didn't know
what he was talking about, or intentionally bashed GT for whatever
reason.
