    WRF Online Gaming

    So here's my thought. If we could sync enough of us up, and we had the same system, we should create an online competition. I know there is the BATracer thing. I have no idea how that works. What I'm talking about is something like Xbox 360 tournaments. We could pick a small list of racing games and race online. I'm thinking: MotoGP '07, Forza 2, and other games like that. We could set a schedule on race weekends or something and race for points. I'd like to try to play games that let you qualify. Anyone else have any suggestions? I would love to play F1 as well but it's PS3 only in the states. Let me know what you think.

    I think I'm going to have to take some time to fill you in on the BATRacer thing. You'd really like it man.

    As for the online gaming, that is a great idea and it sounds like a lot of fun. If you can round up enough peeps to join you by all means go for it! Alas, I won't be picking up a new console until probably the end of the year and my old PS2 isn't quite up to snuff to participate. That's a fair amount of cash for alot of folks to fork out and get it all set up. But for those that are already hooked up, I don't think you'll have much trouble finding some competition.

    It sounds awsome and I'd definatly try and get involved, I have XBOX360 with Moto GP 06 and Forza 2.

    However in exactly one month I will be leaving Ontario, where I spend the summers with my dad, and returning to university in New Brunswick. So after that I will not be able to play the 360 because it actually belongs to my dad.

    It might take a little bit to get this together. My 360 belongs to a buddy. I want to try to get my own or a PS3 by the end of the year. Maybe sooner if I can get some bills paid off. I rented MotoGP '06. Just no Live Acct. I'll get more info on what it will cost those who aren't already setup.

    Even if I did have the money I won't take an XBOX 360 to school with me. I have enough trouble doing my work as it is.

    So I probably won't be doing much until next summer.

    But keep working on Salty, he seems about ready to crack and get a 360 and Moto GP.

    I also want to add PGR 3 (Project Gotham Racing). I love that game too.

    So far I have MotoGP ('06 and or '07), Forza 2, and PGR3 on the list of games. I think 3-5 games is the right amount. Let me know what other games we might want to consider.

    Ok, settle down spaz.

    Why not try one or two and see how it goes. You don't even have a system of your own yet! RELAX! If you build it, they will come.

    I can't come out and play 'till I eat all my peas.

    Well I guess the next thing to figure out is what console to use. XBOX and PS3 users couldn't play against one another. Obviously the 360 is more popular than the PS3 at the moment. And there is the HDDVD vs. Blueray component. Only one of them will last. Like VHS vs. Beta from 25 years ago. Man that makes me feel old.

    At least the prices are getting similar. It's only 50 bucks more for the PS3.

    That's true. Maybe we can put a poll up and see who has what. We'll see. I really want the PS3 for F1 and motostorm. Maybe my buddy will leave the 360 around if he goes.
