Mine is already paid for in full. Of course in Washington no one ever breaks street date so I'll see ya Tues.

Corky Roxbury 11-14-03 08:07 PM

GInsu, check EB I just got back from mine in Orange County, NY and they were realesing them, the manager said it was a company wide release because other game stores released it on Thursday.


Off to have some fun with PGR2 :)

Ginsu 11-14-03 09:21 PM

I managed to get my hands on one today.
Look for me!

I think it is really cool that it can log on to Live while you are single playing to upload all your stats continually. Very slick.

Corky Roxbury 11-15-03 01:25 PM

ginsu, yeah I was doing time attack last night and I have first place with about 10 cars :), I am very surpised there is over 200 people with the came on there, I will be playing tonight on live if you want to hook up

Corky Roxbury 11-15-03 03:42 PM

ginsu, WOW that is all I can say, that was incredible, the best LIVE experince yet!!!, I cannot wait until we can have games with just us talkers :) I cannot believe how many races I finished in 2nd place to n3wone( he had to have the game longer than the past couple of days to have all of the cars), in single player I am horrible, we have to unlock some more cars.

The only complaint I have is we should be able to unlock cars from any clas if we have the tokens, not just the class we are playing while in single player.

if you are going to be on tonight I will see you then I should be back on around 8pm eastern time

young 11-16-03 03:49 PM

heh, 1/2 the people i know have the game already - for a while now!

http://www.xblracing.com/forums/show...threadid=17647

but, it looks like it is a great game.

Ginsu 11-16-03 09:54 PM

It really is a great game I already have more hours playing this on Xbox live than all my other live games combined. This game has 100's of hours of gameplay both on and off line.

Even if you are getting killed in online races you earn Kudos. That way you are always leveling up. Makes it always fun and never frustrating. Perfect Voice chat, Zero lag. I was in a game with 8 racers, from Canada, Washington, Georgia, Delaware and Hong Kong. All racing and talking smoooth as silk. Stat tracking is amazing. Even if you are not #1 in the world you can always see you improvements or Download other peoples ghosts to learn some tricks. Very thoroughly put together product.

We need more DVDTalkers to race with us.

Corky Roxbury 11-16-03 10:23 PM

yup me and ginsu were in a room with people from HK and all over the us, and not a bit of lag, and we are dfenitaely building up our rank,

ginsu did you unlock any new cars I just unlcoked the CC V8s whihc is hard to control,a nd I am buying the F-50 now :)

nickdawgy 11-16-03 11:48 PM

I'd get this game, but racing games aren't really my thing. Then again, if this one pops up on the MS Retail site, I just may snag it :D

Corky Roxbury 11-17-03 01:46 AM

nickdawgy, you should really give this game a try, it is 100% guarnteed to be the best Live experience. it is so amazing, me ginsu, just got done palying another 3 or 4 hours again

ginsu I hear your wife (whip, whip)

nickdawgy 11-17-03 08:41 AM

I might pick it up if I can get a good deal :D

Sticky Bomb 11-17-03 10:20 AM

I been checking out this site for a while but never got in on the games with you guys. I love this game, and if you all are going on, I'll join.

x-box Gamer tag: ChadAnt

They really nailed this game. and the soundtrack is very good. I am better in single than multi. One crash and i never recover. Need to unlock some better cars. Did you guys know there is video game in the garage that you can play called geometry wars or something. I just read it and havent had the chance to check it out yet.

Corky Roxbury 11-17-03 01:43 PM

sticky bomb, yeah the mini game is kinda of fun, but boring since it is in PGR2 :) how many tokens do you have just go to the showroom and buy a nice car(just don't buy an enzo or you willl be like every one else online), I bought the CC v8s, and the ferrari f-50, and ginsu can tell you way I take the f-50 out for a spin noone catches me( and definately not anyone in an enzo)
rotfl

we wil l be playing tonight, I should be on from around 7-8pm eastern time, until 2 or 3 in the morning.

and ginsu I wasn't late for work today(on sunday I was 3 hours late from playing this game)

vbellino 11-17-03 03:23 PM

Add me to your friends list. I just picked it up today. I'll have to play single player for a little while to get a couple of cars. I'll try and get on live later tonight.

XBOX Live GT - i c e m a n

Ginsu 11-17-03 03:38 PM

Dont forget that your online Kudo tokens alllow you to buy stuff in your single player game too.

F-50 is too easy! Race me head to head in a Ferrari 360 and we'll see who owns the track! ;) I may buy an Enzo next just to spite you!

BTW The single player and multiplayer combine in ways that have never been done in any game genre on any system ever. Get This Game!

jeffdsmith 11-17-03 09:36 PM

Finally got a hold of this title.

9/10 good title.

Corky Roxbury 11-18-03 06:16 AM

ginsu, sorry I wan't on last ngith I needed to get some sleep :), it was the first time I slept since I got the game, I might play for alittle while tonight, but I have to be to really early, and I dont want to be late again(at least not this week)

and you have seen how bad the enzo is, every person who buysit(thinking they will be the only person with it) always comes in last place.

and you know you love the f-50, and the 360's are really nice, it is my second fav. car in the game, I just need some mor etokens to get my f-40

kaze0 11-18-03 06:24 AM

The live experience is great, soooooo little lag and I have it going through a 56k connection.

This is through a hack of some sort? I ask because I was under the impression that Live was only for the broadband enabled???

I was thinking the same thing.

You can rig it so that you have a dial-up connection going into a router or something and then just hook up the Xbox to the router via ethernet. I've heard it done before. The Xbox will just think you have a really laggy broadband connection, that's all.

Doug Schiller 11-18-03 10:17 AM

Thanh, Thanks for that great deal!

I was going to wait for the Black Friday $39 Circuit City deal, this is better.

Or you can just save the hassle and get broadband :D

:(

I am so torn.. there are 3 games I want this week, MOSTLY this one.. I have to decide to pay my car insurance in one fell swoop (saves me $100) or just do monthly payments and buy video games. Curses. Curses indeed.
