GM, the most realistic games in my opinion are PC games. I was never a fan of XBOX, PS and whathaveyou because I just think they've got too much of a juvenile look and feel. I don't know if there's a NASCAR game for consoles, but the PC version is spectacular. I've just about finished putting a new PC together; maybe I'll start an Off Topic thread with it's specs, and I can't wait to get back into gaming. While I realize these consoles may/will have dual functionality, I just don't find anything mind-blowing about them. JMO though.
