Just LOL'd at the automated ads on the first page; they were displaying all this casino stuff and I couldn't figure out why until I realized they were reacting to the one line about the standalone TDU2 casino thing. :cheeky: Pretty out of place, given the rest of the, um, website. :rolleyes: But it's a computer, so what're you going to do? -Leadfoot

^What he said. Gamershell has a version, as does Fileplanet (I think). After that, you can buy the megapack (if you choose) and that gives you about forty extra cars. :) 'Course, there are hundreds of mods here, but... for some extra slots. :) -Leadfoot

Oh, I was just worried we all registered before they had worked out any errors. But it should be fine. :) -Leadfoot

Don't you mean... (@ 0:07) :cheeky: Agreed, though. :) -Leadfoot

For the beta. :) I don't think any of us will be getting any confirmation of acceptance for a while. -Leadfoot

Thanks for alerting us of this! :) BTW, they always recommend a high-level card. The 280 was the highest available during most of the "playable" phase of development. :) Personally, I go by the low-spec system to see if a game's over-the-top - of course, with most modern games, you can run them on lower spec, so I guess that's not too informative either. For me and those with systems like mine, of course. HDD space is... food for thought. :) -Leadfoot

You never cease to amaze. -Leadfoot

Better to make sure the application form works. On second thought, hope ours made it in... -Leadfoot

They (Atari) are giving an exclusive car to consoles. Amazon and such are giving it to everyone (I think - if I'm wrong, please respond in big font). -Leadfoot

Good point. Off/on topic, but away from conversation: Found this cool tunnel pic on VirtualR.net, but don't know if we had seen it. -Leadfoot

There's a good chance the next trailer(s) could highlight the pre-order bonus cars (like they do for DLCs). Would be nice, especially for variation. -Leadfoot

Split/Second seems to be struggling to keep up with BLUR, despite its advertising advantage. I guess people just know which game they want (and most choose BLUR). -Leadfoot

Nice find! :) -Leadfoot

:eek2: Watch yer language! :cheeky: -Leadfoot

Really crankin' out trailers, aren't they? Good for them! :thumbsup: Nice to see some enthusiasm on their part. :) EDIT: Pre-order stuff to follow? Guess this trailer should be coming any moment now. Cool! -Leadfoot

Old one... -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- -Leadfoot

Oh, forgot, sorry. :( -Leadfoot

Boxters have high running costs. As I mentioned, an alternative is the S2000. If it was my money to spend on a car, I'd still go with the M5. :) -Leadfoot

Will have to go with Amazon, because I've never bought anything from Best Buy and don't really feel like it. DBS is nice, but I'll have that anyway. Might as well go with V12 Vantage. :) -Leadfoot

Has anyone posted the full map screenie yet? I recall seeing a covered-by-text one, so it isn't new, but figured it'd be worth posting. -Leadfoot

Yeah, but I clicked this is too strange to avoid clicking on. :cheeky: Must be tired. I'm seeing a really strange banner image. :oook: -Leadfoot

20K? Shame about no used cars. You can pick up a 2000-2003 E39 M5's (that's 7-10 years old, 400 horsepower, rear-wheel-drive, BMW reliability and build quality, practical saloon, 80,000 or less miles) for $12,000-$15,000. Plus tons of other cars (car-show quality C4 Corvettes for $14K or so, normal ones for $9K or prestine, classic, E24-era M6s that'll be worth a fortune in ten years or so, to name just two) can be found for less than $20K used. Shame. Huge, huge shame.... Just check out autos.yahoo.com if you want to have your mind changed. As for new cars, hmm. I would say wait until we get some hot Fiesta of some kind, but that could be from three to never years. How 'bout a one-two year old Honda Civic Si? My parents have kept some Honda's for 12 years and 250,000 miles, and we only got rid of it when it got a hole in the muffler and it cost more to fix it than the car was worth. :cheeky: Solid as rocks. Same goes for a two to three year old Honda S2000, which has a manual (shame about that rule, too. Glad you're enthusiastic about manuals later, though :) ) gearbox widely regarded to be the best ever. Jeez, there's nothing interesting for under $20K new (don't say anything, Europeans - we're jealous already :cheeky: ). Everything decent is $22,000 (2011 Mustang V6, which is as powerful as the 2010 GT.) Oh, new idea - take a look at your local Ford dealer, they'll be desperate to get 2010 Mustangs off the lot (at least once production of the 2011 ramps up), because no one will buy them next to the 2011s. So you could pick up a new 2010 V6 with a glass roof or something cool like that for a few grand under $20K. -Leadfoot [is out of breath and done]

PC for filming and general use, PS3 for friends. :) -Leadfoot

WHAT? What was wrong with the Elise? :cheeky: Applied. :) EDIT: @Shadow: Agreed. But who would you rather have in the beta? The three-year TDU players of TDUC or the trolls and new players (I didn't say it, did I! :cheeky: ) of the official TDU2 forums? Granted, I'm sure there are some helpful members there, but in terms of devotion to the franchise, I'd say we have them beat. There should be an guage in the form for how much you've played TDU. -Leadfoot

Love that last one. :D -Leadfoot
