I finally picked up Graw 2 and had my first 16 player match on live and it was dope too lol.

Im not too sure about Forza 2 I kinda got bored of it after 2 matches when i was over at my uncles house.

I guess i prefer games more arcade style. The environment and the style of Forza just bores me to death.

Damn man what a sweet deal, company held a product sale in the office. I picked F.E.A.R, Prey, COD3 gold edition, and Splinter Cell- Double Agent for the 360 for $10 a piece. all sealed

there were some Ps3 games too for $10 but someone grabbed it before me =(

Dude....Forza 2 is awesome! You can put decals on your car and layer them so you get crazy designs. You should see some of the car designs people have created.









All you use are these:



Splinter Cell: Double Agent is a good game!

Xbox 360s are getting banned from Live now.

Look for the best firmware for your drive. If you don't know what version drive you have just go google it or search on xbox scene

If you have a Samsung drive, you can use the new iXtreme firmware which prevents banning (so far anyways).

everything is still sitting in the box and all .. i hooked up my new ps3 cause i dont have any games for the 360 yet

based on the majority of ppl here, you guys all use live so most of you don't have yours modded

even though i probably know the answer, which would be the best way to go?

live or modded and banned lol

xbox live is fun, it makes the game last alot longer then reuglar single player games and i think 90% of the xbox 360 games are worth its price... especially all of them can be played online. unlike Wii games that u get tired of them after a few hrs

Really depends on you...if you think you'll do a lot of multiplaying + paying the $60ish to play on Live every year then keep it stock.

If you're the type of person that doesn't do much online gaming and would much rather save money on the games then go ahead and mod it.

my ps3 is strictly blu ray player at the moment...

i hav an early HDTV model so my tv only supports 480p and 1080i...

considering most ps3 games r displayed at 720p, i get the sucker end of it and all the games are downscaled to a horrid 480p..

there isnt alot of good games on the ps3, its too early on its life..

but the opposite can be said bout the 360......paying $60 a game and being Live enabled is worth it...... because online gaming makes your games life last much longer..

i was close to modding my 360 months ago, just luck that i never got a chance and now i hear ppl getting banned from Live from modding..

if nethin else, id put ur ps3 back in the box until ff13, mgs and killzone comes out........... which is next year..

yeah stick to 360 for now until ps3 comes out with better games, cause alot of games are on both platforms and you might get it better in graphics and online play on the 360 over the ps3 for now. software engineerers having even use 1% of the potential of the ps3's power yet. + they are still using their shit 1st gen controller scheme with no rumble.

i've been wanting to pick up the wireless wheel but it will just be taking space in my living room..... i already find guitar hero annoying when its lying around..

but fs and bb have the wheel on sale for $100 with PGR until the 7th.. , iv been itching to pick it up..


controlling Forza with the controller is actually pretty cool.. because of the 360's trigger buttons, you can apply certain type of sensitivity so its perfect for blending in braking and accelerating..

The wheel >>> controller. Its definitely worth the money for forza alone. I personally got an open box one at bb for 79.99.
