@Scott, well ive been using a Lamborghini Gallardo C class for most of the missions so far. My cars are:
Jag E-Type (G class)
Nissan Skyline R34
Audi TT
Maserati (D class - cant remember which model)
Lamborghini Gallardo
Lamborghini Murcialago
Kawaski Ninja
and the other bike thats good lol (cant remember now!)
I prefer going for a cruise in a nice motor, rather than the ridiculous speed/braking distance of something like the saleen. i test drove that and boy it was quick, but you have to brake veeery early lol.
@Danny Hopefully see you online 2nite matey |

Test drive is my fave 360 game. Its the only one that i got addicted to and it also lasts a long time. True awesome game. If you like driving games get this one and pgr3. THEN GET FORZA IN FEBURARY.

1st of Feb is what most online shops are showing for Forza 2. Hope theyve overhauled this one, i didnt think much of the 1st one..it never really grabbed my attention for long enough. GT was much better at that imo |

@p900 lover, yeah himlims nl is correct. 480 is SD (standard def) 720p (High Def) 1080i (interlaced) will scan every other line and 1080p (progressive) will scan every line giving the most superior image quality. Although there are tele's that support 1080p, there isnt many inputs yet that display 1080p. I found a quick guide whilst googling which displays a nice little table HERE (although note that i think i read somewhere that PS3 has had problems displaying 1080p)

Thank you himlims_nl for the input too,
so if my TV can do both 1080 i and p which 1 should i do? Can the 360 display 1080p? |

hmm, but if im not mistaken the 360 will just upscale to the 1080p resolution, it does not natively support 1080p does it (although ur TV does)? im still trying to properly come to terms with this lark myself lol
(btw ill send you a FR tonight ) |

@p900lover, yeah man will add ya tonight  BTW just read that the 360 can do 1080p using component cables, or is ur TV doesnt have that input, via a VGA cable. I stand corrected lol
Anywayz i think you'd need to be sat quite close to the tele to recognise any real differences between HD qualities tbh |

i believe P is better than I (don't know why not technical stuff)
1080 is supported by hardware of xbox (also depends on tv)
but 1080p isn't upscaled, it's fixed in previous live update...
so you have trough 1080p signal. however it depends on cable.
i found out component (5 or 6 single cables) gives a better image quality compared to hd-scart.

yes indeedy, P is the better reso. I just found out that P is natively displayed using either component or VGA cable (provided your tele supports 1080p)
If you're on TD tonight id be happy to give you a few starting pointers. im not too far into the game myself lol |

Ok i don't think my telly supports 1080p, i get a funny picture when i switch to it, using 1080i at the moment.
Regarding the cables what is the difference? I'm using the supplied cable to connect to my HD tv, is there anyway to get a better picture from the 360? |
