It sounds like a badass game but im not gonna fork over that money for an xbox360 and a game. Not to mention, I dont even have an HD-compatible TV.

My kid has been waiting forever to get this game. His problem (and mine too), is the x-box 360 is a POS. replaced his 4 times since December. Now Best Buy policy is only 1 return per warranty.(60 bucks for that).. We got the intecooler for it from the start but still gets hard drive failure after a month or 2. Anyone else have this issue??

Made it up to level 17 last night. Spent about an hour playing around with my LS7 swapped Solstice though

No drag strip is gay, and where are all the down and uphill tracks like on Forza 1?

Pull the Intercooler. Make sure the 360 has open ventilation and make sure that the power brick is the right way up. I actually have my 360 laying flat w/ a book underneath it for ventilation to the underside of the console. No failures for me so far.

And that whole 1 360 thing for warranty is bogus. They should take it back even if it is your second or third console. If its inside of your warranty its inside of your warranty. Doesn't matter how many fail. If they fail under warranty then its still their responsibility.

As far as Microsofts warranty, yes, it sucks...hardcore...but shelling out the extra dough for the extended warranty isnt such a bad idea for this console, unfortunately.

My warranty was only like $30 bucks and Gamestop exchanges it no questions asked. I do have to buy the warranty each time, but $30 is better than another $300-400. Yeah don't use the intercooler. You get more problems with it. Latest car I won was the Lingenfelter TT Corvette. I still love my 931hp Cobra R and 680hp midly modded 69 Charger. Anyone do the Heavy Weight race in the Proving Grounds? That race sucks especially trying to use a 3800lb or heavier car.

As far as Test Drive Unlimited goes, I would hardly say its a racing simulator. I own it and while it's fun and all, it doesn't drive like a sim. The best part of that game is just cruising around.

Damn, you must have done some serious MODding to get banned..are you sure they didn't ban you for misconduct or something? 'Cuz you can have a MODded xbox and a normal xbox and play online, and the normal one shouldn't give XBL any beef..so..they must have banned your live account, not the MODded xbox

So Forza didnt put my dream car in, so I took it upon myself to make it as close as possible...be nice, first ever decal job in Forza. Sorry for the ghetto upload tactics, I dont have live hooked up...

What it started as


Finished product






There she is, isnt the best, but I dont care, looks like what I wanted it to. The wing and the wheels are wrong, only because you cant paint the stock wheels or change the stock wing. And no rollcage

Oh well. Enjoy

I've only played the demo but it just doesn't make sense them not including an in the car view. The game seems awesome for those who like racing sims though. Man I wish they would make a downloadable '04 Cobra for Test Drive Unlimited to add to my Ford collection. hehe..

I've had my 360(s) since launch. I would mod mine but they keep breaking and I keep having to exchange them. Original xbox is great for modding. A $50 modchip will make them do more than those expensive media pc's could ever do. A modded Xbox is a thing of beauty.

Now, this.. Damned thing won't play ANYTHING, games (xbox or 360), dvd's, cd's.. Nothing..

This is nucking futs..

Yeah, that whole warranty thing blows.

In three days I went through 3 360's until I got one that worked from Best Buy. So far this one has been running w/out a hitch, but we shall see what happens in the future. My warranty isnt up until November...so lets hope it will die prior to then. Otherwise I'll probably shell out some extra dough for the extended warranty.
