I have both GT5 and Forza 3 and in general haven't noticed any long load times in GT5 (except the initial install). Forza 3 on average takes about 30 seconds give or take to load a race, so i'm not sure why that video shows Forza in such a bad light. I'd say in terms of loading they were about equal. I don't have a problem either with the interface in GT5 unlike many others who complain. The graphics are definitely tipped in GT5's favor in some of the races, but it definitely suffers in others. Some tracks look poor and its obvious the standard cars are not up to the high level of finish of the premium.  I don't think this takes away from the enjoyment of the game though. I still prefer the car handling in Forza 3 over GT5 as it seems to react as I expect a car would when you apply power and braking. This could all be down to the fact I am using a pad in both games, but thats just my impression of it. GT5 also suffers a bit in terms of sense of speed, but thats just the difference between a sim and the slightly arcade route which Forza 3 took.

Both games are excellent and provide many hours of enjoyment whichever console you have.

farrrrrrr to reasonable and balnced... forza is a poor imitation of the definitive GT franchise... wash your mouth out!!

whats your opinion of the online apsects of each? 

Unfortunately I can't comment as I haven't played Forza 3 online as I don't have a subscription. GT5, other than a few issues getting a game started seemed fine. Nice simple interface and a list of games to choose from. I have heard though the customisation options in Forza 3 for multiplayer are excellent, but because I haven't tried it I can't possibly comment.

More options and customizations could be relesead by future patch.

My question is how funny is the online today? It's good ou just playable?
