PS3s are cheap enough now.

Took over my dads RedBird simulator, and I thought our passions would never collide.

So to do Multi monitor on Gran Turismo, you need 3 monitors, 3 PS3s and 3 games. All 3 systems need to be up to date, as do the games. Currently Im running GT5 cause Its been a chore to get one of the PS3s to update GT6 (its the oldest one, go figure). After that all you need to do is tell the “peripheral” PS3s what the main Ps3s IP Address is, and then they just follow suit. Really painless after that.

As for the driving experience.... Its amazing. Precision is way up, counter steering, and even drifting is way easier. Overall It gives you more information to judge your position on the track and its limits, and where you are going/need to go.

Also replays look amazing!

I have a three monitor setup for my iRacing rig. I didn’t notice much of a difference driving vs one. It’s just more immersive.

I have the same setup with three XBOX360s and Forza 4.

Never played GT, but I do already have one PS3 laying around....and I just looked, refurbs are $80 at GameStop....

Hmmm.....

Will scout CL for some possibly cheaper consoles. Also, GT6 discs are $6 - $8 on Ebay. The problem is that I will be continuing to stack up a boatload of hardware under the monitors!
