Forza Motorsport 3
Forza Motorsport is the Xbox 360's answer to Gran Turismo and returns in Forza Motorsport 3 as the most complete driving simulator yet.

This sequel's goal isn't just realism though but accessibility, with plenty of features to suit every kind of gamer and car enthusiast. Backed by breathtaking HD graphics and bone-jarring physics, players take the wheel of more than 400 of the most-beloved cars on over 100 renowned real-world tracks and exotic road courses from around the globe, while new customisation and sharing tools will further fuel the imaginations of the thriving "Forza Motorsport" community on Xbox LIVE.

Rival cars react to your every move, particularly if you get too close

The new rewind option makes a perfect lap a lot easier

Car models feature 10 times the detail of previous games, at 4 times the resolution

The new in-car view is just one of the new features

With hundreds of cars and tracks on offer the amount of choice could be daunting if not for the newly improved career mode. The game is able to analyse the way you play and the kind of cars and races you enjoy for the ultimate personalised experience.

The artificial intelligence of your rival racers is just as advanced, with some panicking if you get too close and all racing according to their own styles - not just staying stuck to the racing line. With an even more expansive suite of online options, all filtered according to your skill level, this may be the only racing game you'll ever need on Xbox.

Key Features

• Real driving simulator: The most realistic driving experience ever, with amazing new features such as an in-car driving view and vehicle rollovers.
• Garage greed: Over 400 cars from 50 different manufactures, all rendered in greater detail than ever before and moving at a super smooth 60 frames per second.
• Track events: Over 100 tracks to race on, including the Le Mans course, and over 200 different events from circuit and drag racing to drift and timed events.
• Chauffer driven: Optional driving aids include automatic-braking and a rewind feature - which lets you retry a section of a lap whenever you want.
• YouRace: New online modes including in-game videos you can create and upload and extra livery customisation options and rewards for the best creators.

Forza Motorsport 3 is rated PEGI 3+

Xbox 360 Super Elite Specifications
Xbox 360 Super Elite is a sleek, customisable gaming and entertainment system, which measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor 10 MB of embedded DRAM. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format.

The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage this console package includes a 250GB hard drive. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library.

Control your Gameplay
Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.

The Media Experience
All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library.

Go Live
A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to the new Xbox Live Silver. The included service lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. The subscription service Xbox Live Gold adds to that online competition, game stats, and video chat/messaging. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

Customer Reviews

quality
ordered the 250gb JASPER 360 on friday after 6pm and it arrived sat a.m. .....very happy, the game is an excellent driving sim. the only downside is that the console does not come with any H/D leads ie. component or hdmi which is a bummer if you have a h/d ready tv......other than that very good.

Great console bundle - Highly recommended !!!
This Xbox 360 bundle is great value and includes a 250GB hard drive, 2 wireless controllers and the new Forza 3 game. The console itself is amazing and when connected to a high definition TV has some of the best graphics and sound I've seen on the current generation of consoles. Just make sure you order an HDMI or Component cable if you have a compatible TV as only a standard TV cable is included in the box. The Xbox Live service is now even better value for money as its recently been upgraded to include the Sky TV player, Facebook, Twitter and movies on demand in full 1080p high definition. Also has a good selection of new games and back catalogue titles to suit all tastes. The only drawback with the Xbox 360 is its noisy fans and this can be slightly annoying during quiet scenes if you're watching a movie.

Super Elite
This is my first xbox and it's suppose to be doing
it's job.The game, graphics, playability are all excellent!

The only downside is I bought a separate HDMI cable but worth
the money.

Placed the order first thing on release date and arrived by the evening.
