Werd.

Go pick up Test Drive Unlimited and try not getting addicted.

Most importantly, pick up Forza 2 when it's out this Holiday and we'll really have to get some multiplayer races going on.

I am holding out for F2. Hopefully it will be better than the first (sorry Tyler but I really thought it was just PGR2 with different scenery and an "imaginary" line to follow around a track).

I had a regular XBox but the hard drive died last summer so I have been without a console for the past couple of months. It sucks having a live account and not being able to play.

I loved Forza. It's the closed thing to GT3 out there for the XBOX. Can't wait for the next installment.

Test Drive Unlimited eh? That's on the list. I just got Ghost Recon, Advanced Warfighter. But I'm having a hard time not playing PGR3 right now.

Currently playing Burnout: Revenge and feeling the need for a wireless steering comb controller as soon as they get an adapter to let it work on a PC as well... NFS:MW is the other driving game I have but the controls seem a bit too fickle.

I played the first demo for TDU, but seemed kinda blah to me.. NFS:C demo seems like a rehash of the past three in the series, you'd better impress me with Forza 2 - the trailer looked slick

Speaking of FM2 Trailer. Watch the E3 (first) again and check out the "59" on the Corvette there.

I love easter eggs but I have watched this trailer a dozen times now on several different sites (I can't find it on XBox.com) but I don't really see anything. Maybe it's just the resolution of the movies but it just looks like a 59 painted on a Corvette. Or am I examining the wrong part of the trailer (when the corvette slides into the wall and you see the badges up close). What are we supposed to see?

lol.

That's about it. Just a simple addition to the livery for myself and anyone who knows my screename. "Hey I made that."

I've also used the "59" in the credits which is cool (at least for me) to see, and something to indentify with.

Sorry. I was a little dense when I wrote that. I literally woke up at 4am this morning realizing the Tylerb-"59"! Duh. I was hoping I could get on here and delete that post before you replied.

That said, it looks great. Excellent detail. I can't wait to see the final product.

I want a 360 but I refuse to pay for an online acccount when the PS2 & the upcoming PS3's are and still will be free to use online. I just can't justify paying to play (lose) against others when I can do it for free on other consoles. However that is not to say that y'all shouldn't enjoy yours. More power to ya for not being as cheap as me.

PGR 3 is awsome. Out of every car racing game it is a tie between the Burnout series and the PGR series for me. I never really got into the GT series, I have #4 and after playing it for a few hours I get bored pretty fast. I think the kudos system is just awsome. Never tried Forza (sp?) on the thing. What I am waiting for is Gears of War to come out, looks pretty insane, brother showed me a clip last night and it is a 3rd person shooter that is bloody as hell!

If we have enough people we can try to do a tourny or something on PGR 3, name is Mulas on there. If anyone is up for it they can feel free to play my brother on H2, it blows my mind when I watch him play and just mess people up.

I might buy a PS3 eventually, but they have to have some good tempting games for it. Only reason I bought my PS2 was for the FF series games and other RPG for it. Looks like Square has done a contract with Microsoft and going multiconsole with their games so no more PS exclusives. Multiconsole titles is where the money is at!

I hardly play anymore but Test Drive will suck you in. I never got PGR3 because I knew F2 would be coming. That and I dont really care for arcade car games. Simulators are the fun stuff. I am curious to see how they could have improved on Forza. That game was pretty much spot on.
