I was reliably informed by a guy at my Gamestation that you should never shut the console down via the controller midway through a game, ie) you hold the guide button down and select shutdown console, as this leads to scratches on your games

P900 Lover - The red lights of doom is when the green lights on the front of the xbox go red... Normally it means hardware failure, but there are a few other codes, red the manual it tell you them all in there!

shite... better be careful not to do that in future then.
My TDU disk has a couple of scratches on it, i use my 360 on my PC monitor sometimes when the regular tv is being used (not very often) and i stand it vertically. Ive actually had it crash a couple of times saying 'the disk is damaged, dirty, or unreadable' when im in a showroom or my garage. Horizontal indefinitely in future then
@scottt, like the LP faceplate. Certainly blends in better with the colour of the console. How are you liking the game? I had a quick bash on a mates yesterday and it was quite difficult, but looked impressive

Moved mine... now in horizontal position!
Sorry about bailing on the race earlier guys my missus wasn't in the best of moods then the cat puked(left a stain on the sofa).... And besides... i've decided i need loads more practice in A Class cars!!! I'm shite! I was first for all of 30seconds in one race, then again for about 2secs in the other but finished 5 and 6th both times lol!
I'm only 60points off Champion level now!! Yay! And i've only gotta do 2 more single player challenges to get 40 points!! Almost there!

lol that made me laugh mate when you said your cat puked. sorry! it was funny though... im sure it wasnt at your end.
Well i think you've got one of the sweetest cars in the Enzo, handles like a dream. That Koeninsegggggggg ive got has got a rapid top end, but doesnt handle as nicely and is heavier i think. The saleen is just a pig to drive. You'll get the hang of the A class' mate, just gotta remember to brake lol!
Once you get to champion level its really easy to earn $$$. theres a race called Alfa Romeo Day, you race it in the 8c competizione you won in the Island tour, it takes 1m 11secs to do it, and $75,000 prize. Easy way to rack up money.
Ive still got loads of races and challenges left to do, quite liking just doing them as and when now. Need to build up my car collection aswell, havent quite got to 20 yet

Cool, ah don't worry bout the cat it was pretty funny at the time, if not a little of putting....
75k a time!! Cant wait for that! I've only got 12 cars and only room for another 2. I've still got 400k in the bank but i'm hoping to bag a bargin once the missus gets off tony....

yeah i always lose patience with the TRADE marketplace thingy. I think i should check it more regularly seen as you scottt and you have picked up some proper bargains like. Ive got 3 houses, not sure how much space ive got left now. Some of them are well costly! I guess half an hour on the alfa day race should sort that out

the race i've bin doin for money is called Total Freedom or summat... It's a speed camera one that takes about 90secs and ya get 40k for it. It's in the south below the crater... I spent about half hour doing it the other day to get the money for my F1... and then i sold it!!! i wish i'd of kept it to build up my collection but i was impatient. Ah well.... And yes the trade section bugs are arse... I've heard of people selling cars and getting no money and buying cars having the money go but getting no car!!
I spent a while the other day trying to work out if it was better value to buy a few cheap houses with 4 spaces or one big house with 12 spaces! Ended up with 2 smaller ones and blew the rest on car tuning...
