i love my 360.

my preference is first person shooter army type games, but i like tons of other types.

if you havent played it already, gears of war is a must have for 360 owners. its like, contra on steroids.

rainbow 6 vegas is amazing as well...as is guitar hero 2. they will both suck your life out from you.

ill be picking up bioshock tomorrow, and have halo 3 on reserve.

o i wont sell it. the room its in isnt setup very well.

plus paying $60 for a game is lame. i have a new large expense thats taking up all my money, and its not the mustang... but it has 4 wheels.

Awesome! I just renewed my xbox live gold subscription, so I'm gonna be back to gaming in my free time. Would have bought an Elite...but HDMI isn't that important to me as my TV has a VGA port and I run it at 1080p through that and I have my regular 360 hooked up through windows media center pc, and have an external USB harddrive on the 360 so I can store whatever I want, and access anything on any of the computers on my wireless or wired networks


Forza is awesome, but eventually you get to a point where you have to run super long, very boring races and it's not advantageous to run the races on easier settings because then you can't afford the cars you need for other races (like ferrari races, blah blah blah). The R class cars are AWESOME though, love my porsches too hehe...

i will say though. the paint shop where you can just about do ANYHTING you want takes a loooong time. especially if its your first time.

this took me 45 min just to add simple decals(manufacturer and vinyls on the hood) and yellow paint:

Awesome man . Forza 2 is a pretty sweet game but I kinda got tired of it after a while. I am like that with all racing games. . Get me playing a shooter that you can go on live and play, for example COD 4, and I can play non stop and not get tired.

i know what you mean. most online racing games have so many different things you can do besides just plain racing. an example would be "Last man standing" or "Cat and Mouse"...there are ways to mix up racing games to make them a little more enjoyable

first person shooters are also a favorite of mine also but for some reason this time around i opted for forza

Thats for kids on PGR games. You will end up booted and "avoided" quickstyle if you tried that with Forza 2.
