you can switch between parts in your inventory, i believe you just uninstall them, install the new ones, and the old one will be there whenever you want to switch back.

that is a great idea!! I think I may have to do that too... nothing like whipping yourself into shape while doing something you love... and something that you would otherwise be doing while sitting on your ass burning nil calories...

shouldn't be a problem. the only thing is, some may be smaller TV's.... like, 12" or I think there is even a 9" somewhere LOL... but we will try to round up some bigger TV's... honestly last time it wasn't an issue. You just sit closer to the TV.

The guy just said there wasn't. I guess you could just pause it when you pit and come back after work/sleep/etc.

if they have that capability, yes. but - there will probably be ghosting. don't know how much, but I know I have tried GT3 on my 20" LCD and the ghosting is bad enough that I don't care to play it that way - its an old-skool Dell LCD (2000FP) that has something like 25ms refresh-rate <-- . Anyways, I would rather play it on a 9" TV. Looks sweet as hell. Small, but sweet.

Well, if anyone has a LCD-TV (i.e. smallish 15inchers), bringing extra displays should be no problem either...

So, are you compensating for your longing of GT4 by scouring the net for videos of the game?

There is help available you know...
