Quite the good read. Makes me super excited for the game- even if it'll be months before I can afford an Xbox One.

So stoked for Bathurst, but since it's included in both GT6 and Forza 5 it's not enough to sway me towards either Xbox or PS4 :/

the thing that swayed me towards XBone is that PS4's are sold out locally until March :|

Wow, I didn't realize the PS4 sold so quickly. Is it a supply issue? I've heard that GameStop had 2 Xbox's for every PS4 stocked, maybe that's how it is for other stores too. Regardless, the Xbone will have Forza 5 at launch, unlike the PS4 with GT6, so that's another thing to consider.

Australia just presold out of it's entire allocation, The guys at EB said that their buyers were trying to secure another shipment, but it seems that the PS4 is in higher demand than the XBone.
For what it's worth, GT6 is on the PS3, not the PS4. So it'll probably sell more individual copies than Forza 5

Very interesting, I didn't consider international availability. Here in America we can still pre-order either system from all kinds of stores and websites without them being sold out. If you're really wanting a PS4, maybe try Amazon.com? Shipping it down to Oz surely couldn't cost more than the price difference between the two systems.

nah I'll wait. I was thinking of putting the Xbone on layby anyway so I have some spare money for a holiday or something instead.

Not a bad plan. I'm in college and thus too broke to afford either system anyways, so it looks like that's what I'll be doing, unless I can hold out until the school year ends to scrape together some money.

Why wait? Though I'm glad Forza finally caught on that laser scans are important, there's already a laser scanned Bathurst available and you can race it now. I spent all weekend with it, racing 30+ other people each time (what's the limit in Forza?).

I don't like the idea of paying a subscription to play a single game, as well as the fact that I don't have a wheel setup for my PC.

I didn't either, but I came from Forza and never looked back. Even a mediocre race is better than the best league race in Forza. My enjoyment per dollar is way higher than Forza ever was. If you're halfway serious about online racing, it's the only choice.
If you don't want to race online, nothing wrong with Forza. Do you play anything else on Xbox live? If not, iRacing can be pretty reasonable, compared to a new Forza every two years, gold, and DLC.

I play a few other XBox games on Live, though right now my Xbox is sitting disused in the corner due to my work schedule. I've been killing time with Diablo 3 after work instead, lol.
And the issue of a wheel still stands, haha.
