I'm struggling big time with Tantalus!
Could complete the game if it wasn't for that race.

Attempted it 3 times failing miserably each time, i have read in many places that thats the hardest challenge on the game and that teh developers made a big screw up with the difficulty of it considering the reward aint that great
Posted by himlims_nl
i'm quite bored with TDU after a week
i'm pro status, but i cannot find anymore races to do (except 2 at the north part of the map)
shure it's a beatutifull game, but it's all quite repeative.
there are some very nice cars available, but some of 'm are just too expensive to me.
i've found the handling of high class cars (a/b) quite bad. Maybe it's my driving skill or i have bad cars. but when i like to make a turn or zig-zag through traffic my car starts spinning around.
i't's not i'm doing that crazy moves, cause i can do with my VW golf
Posted by arien617
I'm stuck on Tantalus too. Tried it with an Enzo, too quick. Then I tried with my group B cars, they're the right speed but driving without hitting anything or coming off the road is really difficult. Annoying
Posted by Burgaz
I ain tried that race yet!! Sound like fun
And i can't believe how close i just came to beating you guys and i was in a C class while you lot were in B's!!!
If only someone hadn't of put that lamp post in front of me!!
Posted by arien617
So has anyone had any luck with "Tantalus"?
When anyone does please post here saying you have and which car you used.

I'm gonna try that race in the mornin. Let you know how it goes.
Got me a couple of bargin's this afternoon again. 355k for a stage3 saleen and 120k for a stage 3 tvr sagaris in a very nice black with a red flip! Ryan and Scott know i love my paint jobs!
Posted by scottt
Had a sagaris in exactly the same colour combo
Very nice indeedy 
Found something strange.... Within the game it says i have done 56% but when i look on 360's achievements it says i have done 75%???
Posted by Burgaz
75percent of achievements 50odd percent of the game maybe?
Posted by scottt
Yeah thats probly it, bought 2100 microsoft points finally and downloaded the two car packs on TDU, bought a RUF RT12 straight away and stuck stage 3 tuning on it and gave it a Burgaz stylee paint job
damn its quick.... deffo one of the best B cars in the game, also just bought the CCR after Ryan was saying it was quick, stuck stage 3 tuning on that too and although yeah it has a hell of a top end, i reckon on a circuit with turns i could go just as quick in my good old Enzo
Posted by Burgaz
aww man... i'm well behind now... And i really want one or them Ruf's! I love everything Porsche!
Has anyone done any of the diner challenges! Need three for an achievement, they're bloody impossible! I entered one that didn't look too bad in my SLR, the leader had done it in a viper... it was pretty straight forward but i lost out by 30seconds!! My SLR should of mullered it, so how'd people do it!?
Oh anyways, how about we do some interclub challenges? Is ryan a member of our club? and if danny is Vice President why the hell is he never online? I think Ryan'd be bettter for the job!
Posted by scottt
LOL spose, we should have an election for vice president, you'd be a worthy candidate to ya know Burgaz
Posted by Burgaz
i think not... I'm shite!
But I realised this morning while i was mullering poor lil american kids(whose language was bloody awful, but not as bad as mine lol) that i had my driving aids turned on hyper sport again! Turned them fully on and my stage3 class A's aint too bad no, i can actually drive them!
Might be on in a bit, but will be on a hell of a lot next week 3till11 as the missus is afternoons!! yay!
Anyone know a good way of breaking bones on tony hawk? Me woman needs to break 15 in one bail.... most we got is 9?

Vipers are awesome btw specially the hardtop, has higher top speed and the awesome stripes
Posted by RyaN
schweeet...just done Tantalus! Ive tried it a few times before and always fooked it on the first couple of minutes, but this was my 1st attempt tonight. Quite surprised i did it tbh, my driving meter was down to 81 in the end. Used the Enzo and with the penalties my time was 7m12secs. My advice is just try not to hit too many cars, if you think you're about to always head towards the dirt. I was also being more careful than rinsing it, so you dont have to be caining it to beat the time

I managed to do those but I'm not sure how lol. I think I fluked it a bit! I'm still stuck on Tantalus tho. I agree that the developers might have made a mistake with the dificulty levels there.
Is anyone else finding that when racing others on Live! they have no chance of winning because your opponents car, even though it is the same car and tune level as yours, is a huge amount faster than yours?
Posted by Burgaz
It does seem to happen! I don't know why tho? I entered a race yesterday and started a good 2 seconds before everyone else? Dunno how or why but i won! Lol and got a load of abuse for it!
Posted by Burgaz
I'll be online in about 30mins if anyone fancies an early one? Otherwise it's just me vs america!
Posted by himlims_nl
my gears of war cd is badly damaged
it freezes the game; giving me the notification the disc is bad
does microsoft replace my disk? or do i need to buy a new copy of the game?
Posted by himlims_nl
just spoke microsoft;
they don't replace the damaged disc ... it's the freaking console (my 3th xbox)
and the console damaged my nice disk, now microsoft doesn't replace teh disk... it isn't even my fault
Posted by craig_l

I've heard others complaining of this. It seems that the console can chew up discs sometimes and MS don't change them.
Some people say it is when you move the console while it is running and has a disc in (not sure why you'd want to though)
Posted by ADT0079
thats why you hack the dvd drive firmware. i have backups of all my games and as of now there is not a thing MS can do about it.i also am able to play on live without the worry of being banned.not just anyone can do the hack thou thats the only downside.
Posted by Burgaz
I Left some american kid negative feedback on live this morning...
He started 3 races with me and quit all 3 when i started winning! And he only spoke to be in the first few seconds to agree the terms of the race and then wouldn't say a word after... no matter how much i abused him lol!
Anyone wanna leave be positive feed back on there? I want more than 3stars lol

In theory its a really good idea to be able to do this, but in practice too many people abuse it and rip off games and this screws the whole deal. Id love to be able to make backups of my games to be able to play em without the risk of them scratching. I was very stupid a good few weeks ago now, and picked up my 360 while Pro Evo was spinning, i think i was trying to plug the ethernet cable in the back, and it crunched the disk up. Theres a ring scratched around the outside now, but the game still plays fortunately. Although im concerned with Test Drive now, as very occasionally i get an 'error, the disk is dirty or damaged' message when in my house or a showroom. There seems to a couple of tiny scratches on the disk... maybe somethings happened to the laser inside?? hmmm

Theres nothing i hate more than cocky little people on live that quit as soon as they know theyre behind. I mean, its only a game! Some people take it too seriously.
Ive left you feedback i think mate the other day... but didnt notice that your stars went up at all. You'll get there mate
Posted by scottt
Yeah my rep seems to of gone up pretty quick, i think playing a lot of pro evo helps thats if your fair etc
Posted by craig_l
I got upto 5 stars by getting feedback from 2 other players !?!? Not sure how that works.
Posted by Burgaz

can you tell me more about this?
i'm not willing to pay a single euro to microsoft once more
i used to have the previous xbox which was realy nice imho, never had any complains about it
but the 360 ... it's just rubbish when it comes to service.
however i got a new xbox due the fact the previous one was broken within a week.
when M$ does an update to Live does it mean you'll have to update your hack? or can you update live / games and keep playing your copies?
if so i MUST have a hack
Posted by scottt
Had a right sesh on TDU this aft, made a bit of progress, got all golds on races so won meself a nice Chrysler ME412, then got Gold on all time trials and won a very very nice VW W12 coupe, also covered over 5000 miles, thats got me up to 36 out of 46 achievements completed, not far off the vehicle delivery, and multiplayer races either which i will crack on tonight, did that Tantulas race first time today.....just take it easy is my advice
Posted by Burgaz
Good going scott! I got a fair bit of catching up to do now!
I've got my hands on boxed as new x360usb chip thingy? I ain't got a clue about it but if someone wants it they can have it for a small fee! Will post a link to the details of it after!

Posted by RyaN
good going @scottt. Ive got some catching up to now too lol Quite a few of each left to do but i'll get there. Do want me that Crysler tho
So what might be that thingy youve got Burgaz... please inform ...
Posted by RyaN
found this pic whilst browsing the net earlier n thought it looked quite nice. LE PGR3 360 console mmm
Posted by scottt
@ryan
that looks like a normal 360 premium, with a faceplate like mine on the front and black skins stuck to each side and a homemade PGR logo stuck on the side
Posted by RyaN
yeah it does really, but the front USB flip thing is grey and the power button looks different so thats what made me think its a LE
Posted by Burgaz
The thingy i got is one of these... http://www.team-xecuter.com/x360usb
Tis a chip of sorts apparently the instruction for it are on that site... The pack contains a couple of piggy back pcb's and a dongle that plugs in yer usb... It's first function is for usb connectivity to a pc but apparently it allows the use of backups too? voids warrenty tho... they're around £25 new plus p&p.
But anyone can have this one for say... £12 delivered?
edit:link fixed now
