Wish I had that, but I don't need it. I have a white 30GB Zune which I got for $99 (interesting story about how I got it too).
Well...I wish atleast...I wanted an iTouch for christmas

NO DIRECTOR MODE!I agree with you, the PC version is better than the PSX version, plus you get to choose cars without having to use a Gameshark. However, the PSX version does have a few advantages over the PC version:
The updated graphics are great and it runs very smoothly, and while I would prefer the original voice actors the radio stations are kinda cool. But without the ability save and direct my replays it feels kinda pointless.
To me Driver was all about great movie chase scenes and the ability to create them and experience them. I would hate to be playing the iPhone version and pull something amazing off only to know I will never be able to enjoy it again or direct it into a great replay video.
So I dusted off my PC copy and started playing again. Such a classic. I have the PS1 version too but the PC version is better, and easier to mod. I really only play survival with the cops modded to be a little les brutal and more fun (also I like the random weather too).

1. The PSX version has a better soundtrack.
2. Some of the missions are easier in the PSX version.
3. The cops/gangsters are easier to lose in the PSX version. The PC version is more finicky about police chases. If I try to outrun a cop/gangster in the PC version, another one instantly respawns to take his place. If I wreck all pursuing vehicles in the PC version, I have to wait a few seconds before I'm considered "lost". Come to think of it, that sorta reminds me of Driver: Parallel Lines.

cleone wrote: PC version completion: 1998Really? If so, this could mean that the game started out for PC. I could be wrong, though.
PS1 Completion 1999
