I just never understood NFS.

They tried hitting the street racing audience with all that rep crap and being king of the streets bullshit and then they try hitting the sim racing audience with real life cars and tracks.

All of it was silly. NFS is the best for hot pursuit, you dont find anything better than NFS in that catergory. They should stick to it.

Looking forward to this, hope they bring back the old school NFS. NFS these days is just stupid. From the looks of it, beautiful landscapes with european cars running away from the cops, rather then night time super duper boosts street racing to earn your ghetto rep. fook that for a joke!

They dont need no simulation physics or anything like that. Keep that for the professionals.

They just need a decent gameplay with interesting features. I could never stop playing the first NFS out, that was the bomb!

Quote from 5haz :Oh he will, simply because he is Lewis Hamilton the trouble magnet. Then there will be a three week repeating argument about it afterwards.

You can see into the future.

Quote from JCTK :no he most probably won't be penalised.

When Lewis' lollipop was lifted, Alonso was still in his pit box just starting to accelerate away.

True, but knowing Lewis' luck, he'l cop something.

Place your bets!

Lewis will get some sort of penalty for getting out of his car.

Quote from AstroBoy :To be fair you didnt really mess up, you made a mistake that we are all capable of doing.
Ive moved my dvd player before and had the dvd fall out of the tray thankfully i somehow managed to move it back into the tray and retrieve it but that was just lucky.
If you got the disk out dw about it, laugh it off and call it a learning experience.

Also guessing that the dvd fell out you either turned it from horizontal to vertical or moved it while vertical which well you really walked into it :P

Bingo!!!

Went back to the shops, i didnt want to complain or winge, i just got another disc $50aud thats how much it is then fair enough. It was at the same shop (eb games) and i explained the story for a laugh anyway to the guy behind the counter, and THEN he offers me 1 year warrenty on the disc if things like that happen.... ...for $3aud... they could have told me before hand!!!! Anyway, i got my video game, im happy, appreciate the info guys. If anyone plays FM3 and would like to race, nsaneGTR is my xbl tag. going to get UFC2010 soon

Quote from bunder9999 :fan noise or drive noise?

Sorry, im not too smart when it comes to inside a console/computer.

The drive makes ticking noises here and there and sounds that sound like the disc is scraping (which it actually isnt, as there are no scratches on other discs) and then theres a consistant humming comming from the hdd? or maybe its just the fan.. but thats what is pretty damn loud!

Quote from DevilDare :$120 for Forza 3?!

What the...?

And well, always remove the disc when you stop playing.

Sorry, didnt realise xbox games are cheaper than ps3.

EB games have a sale on for $50 for Forza 3. Gonna get it tomorrow then.

No, i understand its my problem..

Just very fustrating such an "elite" console can do this.

Thats $120 down the drain. What am i ment to do if someone else in my house comes in my room looking for something moves the xbox again? Tough luck? kinda b*llshit to me!

Your going to get over anything slower than a Rotax max engine really fast!

First time i hoped in a rotax kart i thought to myself, wow these are pretty fast. Afew afew tests getting used to things, i felt i already needed something faster! If i could id get a Maxter engine but $$ at the moment isnt good for me.

I race with a rotax engine on a CRG Dark knight, which works best with a rotax engine. If i want a maxter, id have to change chassis too.

Think about those things aswell.
How messed up did i really mess up?

This is related to xbox 3 fu*king 60...

I traded in a heap of old ps3 games, my wii etc and got myself an xbox that comes with FM3 and Fable 2.

Was enjoying my time on FM3 for the past few hours after buying it today, thinking, wow xbox is really good (i am a ps3 nut)...

..i thought id re-arrage my consoles, with FM3 in the tray...

..i should have properly listened to the label on the 360 telling me not to move my xbox with a game in the tray.

My FM3 disc looks like a target thanks to the tray scratching it. Now the xbox doesnt read the disc..

Im about to explode but i thouhgt id just confirm with someone, is the disc completely screwed?

F*cking xbox!

Quote from Intrepid :Why? lol Why would someone defend a position and not make it easy for a rival to get past? Do you know what motor racing actually is? So if someone is faster than you and is behind, you should let them past without issue?

Like why would Webber want to maintain 1st position and maintain the WDC lead? Why would he want to do that now?

Sometimes I wonder about people on this forum... I really do!

HA! lol, a big plus ONE!

If people see the replay, where did vettel first point his car before making a move? Inside or outside?


...and where did he end up going? What was the tighter option and what was the clearer option. He would have known the outside would have been cleaner, but the inside would have given him 1st IF he took a gamble, which he did. Vettel's responsibility.

Watch it again!!

Quote from JPeace :Lewis hasn't been the same since his father left the job as manager, i think that meant a lot to him. I wouldn't be surprised if Martin Brundell has a go at the job seat of managing lewis : some of the things he said where kind of hinting that he may.

Hmm.. Didnt think about that, good point, could be true.

Quote from DevilDare :Lewis will not leave Mclaren. I just dont see it happening. He himself has said Mclaren is the only team he absolutely loves and I think he will stay there until his retirement.

Can you see Lewis driving a Ferrari/Red Bull? I sure dont. He and Mclaren are like one now.

Brundle managing Lewis on the other hand would be great IMO.

I couldnt see Lewis leaving Mclaren either, but back in early sauber days, i didnt see Massa racing for Ferrari missing the WDC by 1 point. I didnt see Montoya back in 03 loosing his amazing mojo in Mclaren. And i dont think anyone saw Schumey comming back to F1 in a Merc.

Id have alot more interest and respect for Lewis if he packed up at Mclaren and moved to another highend team, though id support Lewis all the way if he went to a lower team, and built himself up again from there directing the team his way. Alonso went though it, going back to Renault.. Rubans did it, Schumey is doing it now. They are men there, not someone holding on to something.

Quote from Intrepid :Button himself didn't do anything wrong. I think the message Lewis got from the team was that the race was called off & cruise to the finish. The move back on Button I think proved Hamilton's dislike of what just happened. People keep saying the McLaren drivers showed RBR how to race within the team, but Hamilton looked to me to be happy to see Button out of the race.

It's not knew that something went wrong within the McLaren communication network. I think they coded Hamilton that the race was over just bring it home and this message wasn't relaid to Button. If it had been communicated to Hamilton that the race was over you can understand his annoyance.

I picked up on that too.

I felt that Lewis was shitty because of that, and i wouldnt blame him. Would make you feel asif someone was told to cruise while other was on race mode. Also Monaco, Mclaren telling him to conserve and him snapping back at them.

In my opinion, i dont think Mclaren can handle Lewis' fire. I like Lewis alot more that hes acting more mature off-track, but this backing off and cruise mode on-track really makes me feel Lewis could do better, which he can. A driver like Lewis IMO, cant back off and be comfitable with it. Lewis is in some ways, like Senna or Montoya.

IMO, Lewis needs to leave Mclaren. But is there another option for a driver like Lewis?

You could see Lewis in the interview quietly talking to Webber about the crash as if he agreed with Webber.

Quote from Kazu2799 :go watch the replay vettel had the inside and he was infront of webber, that idiot would just not give up on his position. It was really funny to watch though xD

Watched it, was very tight, Webber left him little room, but why would you give plenty of room anyway? Vettel moved into Webber. Vettel should have done it right.

Vettel's fault, but i assume my opinion dont count being aussie?
