My Introduction and questions - F40LM

[imported_F40LM]

I just bought Xbox 360S 250GB Console Holiday bundle comes complete with two games, Skyrim and Forza 4 Essentials Edition that comes complete with wireless controller and 1 Month of Xbox LIVE Gold for £179 on ebay

I'm a big Gran Turismo fan and have 99 percentaged the game.
I got extremely jealous when I saw that Forza can do a engine swap with a M5, making it possible to have a M5 Bi Turbo.
Also Forza kept coming out with really good car packs, far more good DLC then GT has given.
I'd rather just own both Gran Turismo and Forza

I do own a Xbox original and loved playing Forza Motorsport, however I hated playing through the scart converter becuase the quality was very bad :'(

I also loved playing Shenmue 2 and Sega GT 2002 Online but that was bad quality and came out black and white, this was only a problem with these two games made by Sega?

How exactly is Xbox online gaming better then PS3 online.

I would like to know if anyone experiences black and white problems with any original Xbox games on the Xbox 360?

Thanks for reading my intro and questions

To answer number one, it isn't really anything to do with psn or Xbox live but forza has a far superior online portion of he game with rivals mode and matchmaking.

To answer number 2, I have never had a black and white problem through HDMI

Hi, I'm not sure about your last question but I'm just warning you that the essentials edition means you will be missing disc 2 of the game which has about 200 cars on it... and you can't download them from the marketplace, I'm not sure if you can borrow disc 2 from a friend and install it though.

Thanks for that.

So what edition are you talking about that gets you 200 more cars?

Since you're on the topic of this essentials edition, what does essentials edition have that the 200 cars one don't have?


To all

Which is the best Forza 4 Edition to get?

All Forza 4 editions come with 2 discs apart from the essentials edition, that 2nd disc is what contains the data for the other 200+ cars. I think the essentials edition is called that because everything you need to complete the game is on disc 1 and so it is just the essentials to complete the game, the other 200 cars aren't essential to complete the game but to improve your experience with the game. As far as I remember the essentials edition has nothing to make up for that over the other editions.

The best edition to get would probably be the standard Forza 4, I think almost everything (apart from the BMW art cars) from the limited edition has been released for all to buy through the marketplace anyway.

Really hope you manage to get your Xbox, I once bought a 'PS2 with 10 games' from ebay, all that came were 3 games, and they weren't even the good ones but it didn't matter because the PS2 didn't come either.

Hopefully you know this person called Russel because the first thing I thought of when I read it is this.

I ended up not getting the Xbox, because it took over a month to get it, luckily I didn't pay any postage.

I got a full refund.

Good for you!

Now get a slim X360 with the 250 GB HD, and get a copy of "Forza Motorsport 4" already!

 

[imported_F40LM]

That would seem perfect because my PS3 has broken, but now thinking maybe I should get a PC because their parts can be replaced and easily accessed where as if my Xbox gets RROD, what can I do?

Also how easy is backing gamesaves, is there a online backup service?

Games can also be easily modded and that would be good for the GTA V, but I still may get a Xbox too.

I am asking this becuase my PS3 got Red Light Of Death on Christmas at 14:00 in the UK :'(.

You can save your save on the cloud.

Get a console if you really want to play Forza. Get a pc for a sim.
