If not, I'll have to buy a Playstation :-)
The graphics is stunning, but I do believe that the
latest developments of 3D cards should make it possible
to port the game to the PC platform.

Well, this time rrevved and I agree.
PSX w/dual shock = $130, game = $40, I bought the Interact UltraRacer
hand-held controller which includes a 2" dia wheel, analog throttle trigger,
analog brake button for $35. Total = $205. I tried the Interact V3 wheel and
just didn't like it. Then again, I haven't liked any PC wheel either. Yeah,
it's significant money for one game, but what the hell...
Obviously, I agree. I rented it before purchasing. Suggest you go to
Blockbuster or equiv and do the same. The physics, though perhaps a bit
exaggerated, is excellent. The racing is pretty arcadish.
Ever since I got it, my ICR2 times have improved, but I've become completely
inept at F1RS. Coincidence? Hmmm...

Yeesh. Must you lay a guilt trip on someone for buying what he
wants?

I highly doubt that SCE is going to port over what is turning out to be an
exclusive 'killer-app' for their platform right now. Maybe the non PSX crowd
will be seeing GT ported after GT2 is released?

It's a nice part of my PSX selection, and at first one of motivations for
buying one. Maybe it needs a wheel to feel more fun, but i'm somewhat amazed
at the number of people who think it's god's gift to driving sims.
Ahh... maybe that's it. it is quite good at that driving- but it's a so-so
racer.

Sounds like you have done the reverse to me.
I bought a PlayStation because I found it to be cheaper than buying a
Voodoo 2 card and I wanted F197 - now I'm regretting it because of GPL and
CPR - which both run sh*te on my p166 (well the deom of GPL)
However Gran Tourismo is the most engrossing game I've played since GP2 so
I would recommend a PlayStation (if you can afford it) just for this game.
I also find Newman Haas a great Arcade/Sim game - not very in-depth but
still great fun - after all sometimes you don't want an in-depth game...
