The new interface is a pain (esp in Arcade mode) but I really do suggest you pick up the game sometime for your son regardless. I consider it one of the better games for 15-20 year olds because it is incredibly educational with respect to the aspects of driving in general. The game is packed with great technical commentary.

The only reason I purchased a PS3 was for this game. It was the same story with the PS2...I only got that for the GT4. I'm not really a fan of console gaming, but GT series has that perfect mix of simulation and arcade not found in any other series. Pure simulation kinda sucks, since you get black flagged for doing anything..,and arcade is just boring since it's just plain unrealistic...you might as well get a game racing spaceships. .

  For what it's worth, there's a decent amount of people who find GT boring because of its level of realism. Burnout and Mario Kart for me, please.

    If you'd like something smack bang in between arcadey/fun but with just enough realism to make it interesting, Project Gotham Racing 4 is hard to beat IMHO (and it's super cheap now!)

Thanks. I think I might wait a year or two, though. He's turning 10 next week. There aren't a lot of games that are appropriate for 10 year olds on the PS3--it seems to be heavily skewed toward teens. He's pretty into the Mario and Sonic games on the Wii still. However, I spied a Pinball game that looks fun to me...
