Some places are giving a 200-220 dollar credit for 360s that upgrade to Elite.

This is nucking futs..

you could always try the old wal-mart switcharoo. if ya do, might wanna switch out the stickers with the serial #'s. a lot of people that get their consoles banned from modding do that, heh.

I dunno about you guys...or maybe its because I havnt dumped any tuning parts into my first car (What can I say...I'm not gonna waste $$ on parts for an Audi TT that I dont plan on keeping forever), but I find the turning and braking to be quite sluggish.

Maybe its because I'm used to Gran Turismo 3, but the turning in this game just doesnt feel that responsive. Iono, maybe its just gonna take some time to get used to a bit more. That and this Audi seems to be craptastic.

in my opinion, the GT series wasn't that accurate as far as a racing sim. i think forza does a lot better with realism. i hear the same thing from people who have played gran turismo their whole life and swear by it and they won't give anything else another chance in the realism department. then i find out theyre slamming the brakes through a turn at 60mph and wondering why the car isnt turning.

Yeah, its much more solid now that you upgrade and actually brake going in, coast, and then accel going out. Makes more sense...

Like I said earlier, I was a little more used to GT (and the most unrealistic sim, NFS) and was wondering why it always seemed sluggish when turning.

Yeah that Guldstrand Vette is pretty nice. I had to paint it though cause teh gold was hideous.

Here's a few pics I took.

Charger, was screwing around on the test drive.

Um...racing tires?

Adjust your suspension?

Seriously...I was playing around w/ my Lotus Exige and found a tire pressure/brake combo w/ a lowered suspension that lets me fly around The Ring.

Frankly as far as im concerned, the only track that any car should be tested on is the ring .
