I got Forza 2 as a pack in and I must say I really love all the assists the game gives you. I played a fair bit of GT1 back in the day, and I do hold a drivers license, but really I am almost 100% ignorant of the technicalities of race car driving. You really don't get penalised much even for using all the assists. I even find driving and following the racing line it plots for you kind of relaxing, but still pretty fun. And the system allows me to occasionally try to turn down some of the assists just to play around although so far I've been going back to all assists on.

Anyway, I think it's great that they've managed to make a simulation driving game so accessible to someone who's not knowledgeable about it like me.

Well, I guess technically it's a "deal" but I'll pass because I don't really need another headset.

Also, BB says the street date is 2/26 but I thought the game was out today 2/25?

Usually you can just stack those on top of your current membership, can't you?

No, you need to have a new gamertag.

No you don't. I added my 1 month that they sent with my fixed system and it stacked on top of my current annual sub.

You can stack those one month memberships on top of your current membership. I used a 13 month card a few weeks ago. And last weekend I added the 1 month code that came with Halo 3.

Didn't want to start a whole new thread for this, hopefully I'll get an answer here.

I picked up a 512MB memory unit yesterday that includes a code to d/l Worms. The UPC is 882224239349. Now, I bought this locally for $49.99 + tax. I'm wondering if I order it from Amazon for $41.99, will it at least have the same UPC even if the contents are different and/or missing? Obviously I would return one to the B&M I purchased it from, I'm just wondering if I can make use of it in the meantime.

I'm ready to upgrade from XBOX to XBOX 360. Couple Questions:

1) I found an Elite in a local B&M with the (2) games packed in from XMAS I guess. Should I pick that up if it's the Falcon chip or wait a little longer. Are they going to release a new package/system anytime soon?
2) Can you transfer your game saves from XBOX to XBOX 360?

Thanks!

1.) I'm thinking a price drop(or bundle) is around the corner to coincide with the release of GTAIV. There's absolutely nothing to back that up other than the fact the console is 2 1/2 years old and only dropped $50 so far. That and the fact they will be trying their damnedest to make sure gamers are aware that GTAIV should be known as a 360 title first and foremost.

2.) No.

Where did you buy it from? BB, CC, Target, and Walmart allow open returns of memory cards.

Best Buy. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind should it be necessary.

So I guess a similiar Elite type console might come out for $399. I would have decide if Forza 2 & Marvel Alliance is worth $50 to pay $449 now. Correct?

Bundle, maybe, but I doubt it on the price drop.
They paid too much for that exclusive downloadable content. They'll use that to
tout which system you should buy it for.

One, two punch my man. Not only do they have the exclusive content but the cheapest system to play it on, and not by just a few bucks.

Yes - that has been my experience as well.
