The world’s most realistic racing simulator puts Ferrari F1 engineering in your den for $90,000

Yahoo - Turn three at Imola, the storied Italian race track that claimed Ayrton Senna's life in 1994, is coming up frighteningly fast. My left foot jams on the brakes as I hammer the paddles to downshift. Too late. My Formula 1 ride slams up against the metal barrier, its snarling V-8 engine instantly silenced. (Culture)

This is awesome, but was a Jab at Xbox really necessary?
KingPin  +   283d ago
only a fanboy would take it as a jab. the rest of us saw them comparing this hardware to current gen consoles.

I'm been called an Xbox Fanboy. LMAO

Yet Xbox & one of it's games were the only console mentioned,but yet u think it was a jab at all consoles.

"This Thing Makes An Xbox and a PS3 Seem Like Pong."

This would be the correct title.

Technically if it were a jab at all, it would be a jab against ps3, because they are comparing it to xbox as if xbox were the top of the line current game system. It wouldn't make sense to compare a weaker system. Like saying "This thing makes wii look like pong!".

Still not as good looking as GT5.

a jab at console peasants and plebs?
pfft people need to realize my pc from 2004 can compete with an xbox 360.

its just showing that todays hardware is miles ahead of what people consider "good graphics"

I think this is the best interactive way to play a game since the Hang On arcade cabinet were you could do wheelies.

A little out of my price rage though.

A little?
thebudgetgamer  +   283d ago
I can go without food, or living indoors for a few years.

Also I forgot the Hard Driving cabinet that taught how to drive a stick.

90,000 dollar simulator vs 200 dollar console. Hmmmmmm, no wonder it looks better, it costs 450 times more than the 360

Seems that Yahoo edited the title long after this story was submitted. Anyway, it's been updated.
-Mezzo-  +   283d ago
Yes, they changed their original heading.

But the heading is still the same on their Main Site:

Then it seems Yahoo or the original author is thus the asshat. =)

My bad...been too many times in the past when people took liberties with titles.

If by Pong, you mean a piece of hardware people can actually afford, then, whey yes! It does.
Side note, looks cool, but not practical for anyone I know.
