Yea that's my concern as well with the sofa, not sure if I can put a chair where my sofa is without the Mrs raising eyebrows :)

It's worth trying on your sofa - if you have a low slung coffee table or something you can get your feet under for the pedals, you should be fine.

I think it's a bit of a daft idea having a desk-clamp on the unit though - for something designed for use with Xbox / televisions.

A lot of people are saying that it is hardly worth the install of disc 1 because the load times are maybe a fraction of a second faster lol. I just do it so the damn drive is not spinning. My console was manufactured in July of this year to lol.

Ughhh. That damn 100k in a single lap for drift is a pain.

Just tryed on Kaibo (sp) on reverse and for my first time learning how to drift I managed to pull 57,511. I really don't feel like spending another 11 minutes attempting it. Though I'm getting better at drifting shouldn't be to long to snag it.

Rewind is your friend for this.

Shift Cockput View Video

Hmm I can see what they are doing and it is kinda clever and realistic in a way but the main thing that makes me feel weird is the zooming in/out which I'm guessing they are doing for sudden changes in speed? I've never driven a car fast enough to make my head go back that quickly so I'm not sure.

Yeah it is, I've been in a car that was going quite fast and suddently brakes and that happens....obvious not to the degree that Shift does it (but the same can be said about the blur, that doesn't really happen either :p) which is why they often call that "hyper-realism" because if they made it true 1:1 copy of reality, it be quite boring (well I think so and many game developers feel the same). However, all that said the Shift cockpit cam is probally one of the most awesome cockpit cams I've ever experienced and does provide an exhilarating experience! that is my 2 cents take with a grain of salt.

EDIT: Nice screenies guys :) I can't get mine off the 360 as I only have a Silver account, really does suck you even need gold to upload pics! (it sucks more you can't get them off the 360 directly or put a USB drive in there and save them to that...)

I installed it, didn't improve much at all :(

Am I wrong thinking that the LE version was meant to come with a free theme? I don't see it.

Yeah the LE edition comes with Free theme, but apparently there was an issue. So they are trying to resolve this and see how we can all download it, or fix the current download, and we re-download it again.

And yes install to HDD did not dramatically improve loading, but keeps the Xbox quiet :p

Finding the game to be unplayable on live with friends at the moment because the lag is so bad.. I think the servers are getting hit hard. Keep running into a bug where the lag makes cars bounce around like elastic on the track and, on quite a few occasions now, I've suddenly warped through my friends car which basically smashes my car to pieces (every component red) making it undriveable and the race is over.

It's dreadful and it's certainly neither of our internet connections as we played Forza 2 against each other lots and lots without any issues! :(

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
