I think online only supports up to 8 people. So there are 8 at most and it sometimes takes a while to go find them, but there's less or no traffic so that ok. You don't flash your headlights online to start races though. You go into the pause menu and choose "suggest race" or whatever it's called. The goes from there. People opt in and then a few seconds later you're away.

Trophies are out. They've been available for a few months now and I have trophies in both Burnout Paradise (one of the annoying updates) and Midnight Club which had trophies from the beginning. I think the Midnight Club ones will be the same as your achievements, and damn some are gonna be hard to do! I think I'm just over 20% through the Trophies.

Ah sweet then... they should've had trophies from the beginning tbh, but at least you've got em now. I've got about 8 or 9 achievements out of 40 odd so roughly about the same as you. Not actually checked em all out yet... bet some are gonna be ridiculously hard! |

Yeah, I think that Sony didn't realise that people would want Trophies so much. They probably thought it was a gimmick on the 360, but it turned out it was a most-wanted feature!
So have you been trying to unlock the Audi R8 through the Rockstar Social Club?

Oh! Well the Audi R8 is exclusive to the RockStar Social Club. You win it by passing all the license tests. Go here and sign up. Then link your Xbox account to the social club and you're away. You can then track your progress via that website.
There are 12 tests. For the first 4 completed, you get Hydraulics and Airbags. For the second 4 (8 in total) you get something else (I'm not there yet!), and for the last 4 (all 12 completed) you get the Audi R8! Fully worth it in the end, but extremely extremely hard to complete! (I'm thinking of the 25 consecutive races one!)

This is where I'm at with it so far:
As you can see, the high scores have been hacked.

WOW! Didnt realise this before... gonna have to sign myself up i think! Yeah 168million career wins, thats a joke. Those kind of people are so sad to cheat like that just to get their name on the leaderboard. Almost makes the leaderboard pointless... they should really have some sort of screening in place and delete people like that off it.
Well thats just opened up a new world in the game right there... something to work towards
Does it pick up what you've already done in the game when you link your tag to it etc, or do you have to start from a fresh? |

Yeah! A whole new bunch of achievements to strive for! And you would think that Rockstar would be watching their own leaderboards to delete those people wouldn't you? Oh well...
I believe that it is retroactive, so what you've done already should be accounted for when you sign up. Hell, you might even get your Hydraulics straight away!

Yeah! And now it kind of falls in to place what the 'greyed-out' Hydraulics & Airbags option in the garage is.
If it does pull up what i've already done, my wheelie percentage might be quite high as i've just been pulling massive wheelies down the roads and round corners for miles! Cant wait to have a look at this later  |

The two-wheeled distance is easy to do also. Just go up on the 'freeways' and two wheel it as long as you can. You get quite used to just tapping the steering lightly and you can go for ages after a while!

I have to say this, I am LOVING my new 20GB HDD. Downloaded "Dead Rising" demo, now downloading "Scene It: Box Office Smash" demo and "Portal: Still Alive" demo, all for nothing, awesome
